A microblogging website founded by David Karp. While, for the most part, it is true that you can post (in text, photo, quote, link, chat, audio, or video form) whatever you want without fear of retaliation, this is not always the case. Oftentimes, if your opinion differs from somebody else's, you receive anonymous hate mail (using Tumblr's messaging feature with an option to make yourself anonymous, called "anon" by the users) that is unrelenting. Tumblr really is a great place to go onto, but only as long as you don't say "no" to someone else's interests or opinions. Your blog is your own and should not have to be subject to the radical fanaticism of other users.
User (posting an opinion about the "Fabranger" ship, one of many interests Tumblr users have: "Fabranger? Quinn Fabray and Hermione Granger? No. Just no. They're not even in the same series. I completely support LGBT, but... no. Hermione is as straight as a Ticonderoga pencil."

Other users with differing opinions: "Stupid. Bitch. Pussy. You're a disgrace to LGBT supporters. You're so smallminded."

A popular social media website. Much like King Midas, Tumblr has the power to, rather than to turn everything it touches into gold, it turns it into the worst possible outcome. Tumblr is well known for the unintentional creation of Tumblr feminism, which is well credited for ruining the image of feminism.

A place where if you express your opinion, you either get praised or you get flooded with anon hate. Almost everyone has a gay ship(s). Beware of the superwholocks. (What is superwholock, you might be asking yourself. It is a combination of the shows Supernatural, Doctor Who, and BBC's Sherlock. God knows why it even exists.) Everyone has a fandom, no matter if it's large or small, well known or barely recognized. It doesn't really even matter what the fandom is for. You could have a fucking fandom for toenails and there is bound to be people to join.

A blogging website for the pseudo-intellectuals who love to be marginalised and victimised by society, that think reblogging nonsensical propaganda from the comfort of behind their computer screen will revolutionise the world we live in.

It is also used by people to post naked photos and videos of themselves on.
99% of Tumblr are self-proclaimed non-white fat gay disabled vegan transsexual atheist feminists, who blame their insecurities on anyone but themselves. The rest are horny girls.
