I remember on tumblr I once received a message from someone who tried to tell me that an anime I liked was created by someone who was creating racist propaganda. I told her not to believe rumors like that on the internet, especially on a place like tumblr. Turns out, I was right and that the anime isn't created by some evil man. And it was just a rumor.
And that's basically what tumblr is like 24/7. Idiots believing in a lie without any sort of proof. They will bully people, they will argue all day and night. And the most embarrassing thing about it is that most of the people doing this are adults.
Some of the most craziest people are on this website. Sure, there are a lot of creative artists and writers. But most of the website is trash. Remember Kony 2012? Remember DashCon? Remember the ball pit? Yes, people on tumblr will blindly follow anything you tell them, as long as it makes sense in their little minds. Then they hurry to their blogs and type away about how 'brave' they are because they're fighting for what's right. Just as long as it fits in their little bubble.
Can't stand this place. It is horrible. I tried using it as a way to make friends and also share my hobbies and interests with others. Also, most people on tumblr act like a bunch of high school bullies. If you don't 'fit in' with the rest of them, you're treated like an outsider. Look, if you're an artist or writer, find a different website. Or even better, just leave social media behind because they're all horrible.
