What happened to this platform?
This could have been the potential second coming of Geocities - when people used to make fansites about whatever weird shit they liked.
So how did this site get hijacked and turned into the central hub of SJW cunts on the internet?

>My theory - [spoiler]Marissa Mayer[/spoiler]
tumblr was full of SJWs before Yahoo bought them.
Source: Used to browse daily, became completely bluepilled for a while
because pc culture spreads like cancer and it's hard to fight against it due to their tactics (doxxing, faking threats, playing professional victim etc)
besides, today's internet is filled with retards. geocities pages weren't made by rocket scientists but those people were still nerdier and smarter than the average tumblr user
It's actually a good blogging platform and it's free. The community is Garbo though.

why are they using this particular platform? was deviant art not enough?
>>58923258
it's a pretty terrible platform, the layouts are dead simple but peg your CPU for 10 seconds to load, infinite scroll, they compress everything so it looks like trash, the dashboard is awful, etc

tumblr is built for microblogging. Similar to how reddit has a sub for every single topic, every single fandom on tumblr has a community. Every. Single. One. From every TV show in existence. Some of the larger fandoms have primarily female audiences. Since most women are probably for women's rights they started discussing feminism, which lead to discussing politics, which lead to SJWs being created.
At least, that is my guess.

But it is used to make fansites for weird shit people like.
>>58923258
It turned into a porn site.

But people who made Geocities sites didn't coalesces into a singular cancerous ideology.

I've seen some where people have customize the fuck out of them and their pretty professional.

The hysteria regarding the supposed SJW threat is just that -- hysteria. The amount of "Social Justice Warriors" that fit the popular descriptions is actually very small. But, as we've seen, reactionaries love nothing more than to talk about invisible enemies.

HUUR DUUR TUMBLR IS TERRIBLE BECAUSE FEMINISM IS TERRIBLE HURR DUR
>>58923258
It's still the only useable blog site, currently.
We need to wait for a replacement
Its one of the best things for porn. I don't think there's anything better which isn't video sites.

it was shit before yahoo bought it.
One problem I found using it, from a user experience pov, was there was no effective way to sort people you were following into groups and then view posts from said groups only. So if you follow someone because you like some of their stuff you have to then scroll through literally everything they post. Pain in the ass.
Post urls you've bookmarks!

That actually sounds plausible. Remember the days when sjw shit was actually still contained on tumblr?
>>58923258
Tumblr was like that before yahoo bought them.
There are different communities on there. I mostly use it for shemale porn.

I guess the same thing with Imgur.
Websites just developed culture and political forums even though it's just a service that fulfills a particular requirement.
it's best feature is porn which they seem unwilling or incapable of monetizing. tumblr will be kill

But it's not just feminism. Tumblr is the breeding ground for
>otherkin
Really just a coping mechanism gone out of hand, I seriously hope most of them outgrow that shit or seek help. I had an alter ego when I was younger but I knew what it was and didn't think I was actually a transforming superhero/wolf/hedgehog.
>Fat acceptance
I've literally seen posts about people claiming that thin privilege is not having to "LITERALLY SUFFOCATE" because they're so fat that they can't breathe but they're too embarrassed to huff and puff because people would judge them.
>xir pushing
Because you can't just be a tomboy or a girly boy, you HAVE to be """genderqueer""" and make up words.
>cultural appropriation police
Imagine people typing up lists of words THEY think you can't use if you're not [MINORITY HERE]
It's people throwing labels at everything and victimizing themselves. The place is fucking disgusting. There's some cool people outside of the fucking crazies of course, though. Can confirm, I ironically posted there for two years and had a lot of fun desu
>>58923330
all the hipster teens who use tumbler also use ad blocker
Because everywhere is lefty. Even all the satire sites, apart from the odd one or two like http://thedaily.online
They creep into everywhere and via nepotism bring in their buddies and inject politics where it was never intended to be.
