It's a well-known fact that Tumblr is a bit of a hellsite- from scams, to failed convention escapades, to fandom blunders and general cringe (affectionate). Today let's go through all of the drama, the trials and tribulations, the epic highs and lows of Tumblr in a convenient iceberg list format.

As someone that never left the platform, this feels exactly like when my mom tells anyone all the embarrassing stuff I did as a kid
LOL
LITERALLY
you're so right lmao
same
Lol I was on there from like 2014-2020.
I mean, being a lesbian is kind of the ultimate "just girly things"
Technically girls are girly so liking girls is girly makes sense
I've always joked that homophobes have it wrong, whats more manly that two dudes doing it together, like bros? The same would also apply to women.
the straightest woman on tumblr:
no one is lesbian after 30, she is probable married to a man now
Putting the “JUST girl” in “just girly things.”
the fact that tumblr's considered uninhabitable for large businesses and advertisers is one of my favorite things about it
un-inhabitable maybe?
@@benayers8622 right, sorry
That's the only thing good about it
@@rushpatriot2866 if you're far too up on one side, you'll hate everything on the other
Idk manscaped seems to live there
I met my wife on tumblr. This means I had to try and explain Tumblr to my very supportive but very confused grandmother
Beautiful love story~
Are u that one post where someone just said they wanted a gf on tumblr and it led to them dating > getting married > having a child??
@@megasocky I wish! Our story is just a bit boring bc we made friends online and then started dating, which I think is probably pretty common (especially as we were both autistic and didn't know it yet!)
honestly if you want simple, it's a microblogging site. good luck though lol
Sorry I’m replying to this so late but I also met my wife on tumblr and my name is also Lottie!
As an active Tumblr user, this is like staring at a list of my cults sins and doing nothing about it
Lmaooo
If our God is to be born, sacrifices must be made
If we don't sin, then Jesus died for nothing ;]

@@ExStepsister like painting your hair blue and becoming a pooner with zippertits
Tumblr's revival due to twitter's downfall is the most beautiful case of irony.
True! Although people did left because of the ban on NSFW things
@@LiveLaughLovecraft yeah but the staff allowed people to show b00bs again around the time that Twitter was starting to decline because of musk so I think that was part of it
@@LiveLaughLovecrafti find it funny those people left and went to Twitter and now they're cycling back
that explains why twitter is allot better now lol
I honestly hope that Twitter completely falls and like it just shuts down and everyone is forced to move to Tumblr
I will never forget the time the Steven Universe fandom almost bullied someone to suicide because they said she drew the Pink mom too skinny
anyone who garners any kind of popularity or does shit like this online really should never be taken seriously and usually are deeply unwell in real life
I could say the same to the fnaf community regarding the comic series getting discontinued because of the fandom back when afton/purple guy was headcanoned as Vincent.
I won't either. It was the first thing I ever heard about both the tumblr community and the SU fandom, and it made me stay far far away from both of them.
idk from what i remember seeing at the time it was probably fake. op did the whole "im op's sibling posting on their blog now because you people made them hurt themselves" thing which… could've been true? but generally that kind of thing is just the poster faking it to try and make people feel bad.
obviously they shouldn't have been sent death threats for drawing rose quartz skinny, but from what i remember seeing at the time they hopefully weren't actually in the kind of danger they claimed to be.
The story of Steven Universe fans driving a girl to suicide is fake, but the fact that the Internet used this story to make the fandom look bad is pretty malicious. Same can't be said with Undertale's "cupcake needle" incident.
Boy, I do feel bad for the fact that Steven Universe's reputation got destroyed by the Internet, specifically for those rant videos.
Izzy saying the wrong year for destielgate and simultaneously using the wrong us election candidates in the reference photo honestly just enhances this whole experience 💀
I was gonna make a correction comment but honestly yeah it just contributes to the vibe of the video
The candidates didn't even phase me but I was like, quarantine? In 2015? I was living my best uni life wdym xd
I honestly didnt even notice lol
I thought I was going insane omg
no bc how do u get that wrong it feels like yesterday to me 😭
I’m still bitter over a girl who never returned my copy of “The Fault in our Stars” with specific mascara tear streaks on Chapter 21. I specifically cried on those pages how dare she take that from me. This might have been over a decade ago but I haven’t forgiven her.
lmao
Heh
P...people cried because of that book?
@@titanofyoutube4834 Y..yes

god i love and hate tumblr culture. occasionally ill find myself reciting what i thought was a widely-known meme / internet history event, only to realize ive just outed myself as a fairy-lights-bedroom-dwelling tumblr-infused fossil of a person. finally i can direct my peers to a good lesson! another banger video from izzzyzzz!
Yo
Tumblr is the ultimate melting pot of the internet. It smells like blue cheese.
oh ,y god illy is an izzy fan
good to see you here, lol
ILLY IS AN IZZY FAN???...I mean they are only two letters off so it makes sense /j
i am a long time Tumblr user and i can confirm that the"i like your shoelaces" thing works. the response tends to be "oh fuck you goddamnit" and not "i stole them from the presedent" but it works like a bell to Pavlov's dogs
My favorite tumblr story about it is this one: reportedly, someone once got the response ".....Joe Biden is a lesbian??"
(op had been wearing lesbian pride color shoelaces)
One controversy I def feel bad about is the Peter Pan craze on tumblr where so many of us got a crush on the cast member of Peter Pan at DisneyLand that someone ended up finding who the actor was and he ended up losing his job since Disney is really hard-core about cast members not revealing to the public their real names in order to 'keep the magic alive'
Omg I didn't know that happened to the Peter Pan guy. That's a shame.
There's an Ashley Norton video about the Peter Pan craze where she goes over some of the weird boundary crossing stuff fans did, but she thinks he probably was let go for something simpler, like he was perhaps aging out of playing the role convincingly.
Izzy makes me simultaneously proud and ashamed of being an ex tumblr girly
there is no leaving tumblr
@@Willow1w please no it’s been five months I’m healing …
@@pastelsheepy oh god ur right I still am a homestuck acc I’ll never be sober
@@realnepetaleijonCome on man, just one hit won't hurt....
You want to go back to tumblr, you want to go back so bad 🪄
the biggest thing the iceberg is missing is the porn ban for sure. There's definitely a before and after it happened when it comes to Tumblr culture and obviously there was pleeenty of memes (I still use the 'female presenting nipples' thing for jokes lmao)
The most recent reference to "female presenting nipples" I remember was F1nn5ter's Twitch ban.
The weird thing is, I loved Tumblr pre-ban. Tumblr was active, people were normal and it was a great way to find people to Connect with. After the ban, all those people seemingly left, and now there’s only sugar daddy-bots, creeps and men thinking Tumblr is the same thing as tinder, other than that it feels so dead.
Pre-ban, people would ask me what music I like. Post-ban, people wil start a conversation asking how many dildos I own.
@@biskitt1000 yeah, tumblr was definitely better before. Though those kind of people were always a problem, somehow it's even more noticeable now.
@@biskitt1000 when the p*** ban happened a whole bunch of blogs who had previously posted nudity or reblogged nudity basically had their posts flagged and banned their accounts. Most of those people who were banned had no recourse, and likely didn't care to make a new account with a new email. They basically decemated their user base 😂
That on top of Verizon buying the site, who instituted the ban.
43:40 fun fact: when i went to the psych ward as a kid about three or four of us all took pictures from coloring books and colored them in weird ways (changing color or shading, adding devil horns or teeth, or just scribbling) and were doing the youtube foot lettice voice of "look at this picture a bipolar 14 year old drew... You can just see the insanity in his mind..."
that is genuinely hilarious (btw the yt foot lettuce guy is called Chills)
The biggest mystery that remains is WHY ON EARTH was I unironically listening to “tumblr fandom style” and “I don’t care I ship it” 24/7 in my teen years…
Oh gosh, your comment gave me emotional whiplash "eyyyyyy sexy cosplay!" 😭
Oh my god NO DON’T REMIND ME-
I loved listened to those songs so much that, despite ten years having passed, I probably still remember most of the words and I hate that
Ugh, you just sent me direct to the "I don't care, I ship it" AMV. I haven't seen that in half a decade.
Damn you.
I DONT CARE I SHIP IT OH MY GOD
STOPPP I LITERALLY THOUGH I SHIP ITT WAS A ORIGINAL SONG
I find the fact that "hey peebrain,- you teleport?" ends up forcing you to do some self care to complete it honestly beautiful
With all the talk I hear of spooky ARGs with hidden lore and horrifying implications, the T.E.L.E.P.O.R.T.A.T.I.O.N. ritual actually sounds pretty wholesome. It's kind of refreshing.
Congrats on watching the video.
do you teleport tho
@@videosefilmes22 I don't know. I've never attempted to.
Hey peebrain, you teleport?
justgirlythings coming out as wlw is the best thing to happen to tumblr
It's the exact counterpart to the "Hello my future girlfriend" guy from the early days of internet memes coming out as gay. It's truly poetic.
There's nothing girlier than dating another girl
Wild Lethargic Weasel......................
one time at school i complimented someone on their shoelaces (they were RAINBOW!!) and they said "thanks i stole them from the president" and i had to clarify that i was genuinely complimenting their shoelaces
I feel so bad for John green, like he honestly seems like a great guy and knowing his history with mental health issues that whole ordeal must've been awful
Yeah I think a lot of the criticism got very personal very fast. Like, it’s fine to say that you don’t want to read a teenage girls story written by a man, because it’s kind of creepy or you just don’t feel like he can do it justice. But to call him a p*dophile over it and accuse him of brainwashing young girls, especially when it was based on his real life friend (who was a teenage girl), is super personal and crosses a line in my book. I also felt the same way with turtles all the way down. Obviously, you don’t have to like it, and if you don’t like how he writes mental illness that’s a perfectly valid opinion. But a lot of people accused him of trying to gentrify and glorify mental illness and take away from stories from real authors with mental illness. And when people corrected them to say that John does have OCD, people started accusing him of lying or faking it.
Like i’ve said, you don’t have to like his books, and I don’t want to be one of those people who are like “oh you can’t dislike a book it’ll hurt the authors feelings”. But if the only way you can critique a book is by personally attacking the author, you’re not critiquing the book, you’re harassing someone.
I also think his response to the copypasta was super mature and it called out the kind of double standard that I found on early tumblr where it was both “uwu gay rights super progressive!!” but also “haha you’re gay” was a common insult. I don’t know how widespread it was, but I definitely remember being frustrated with it back then.
And I find it funny that his response included a line that was basically “get a better insult”
@@neonradius Saying "it's kind of creepy" is already beginning to cross the line imo.
It genuinely feels like Cole Sprouse just felt embarrassed and pulled a redditor "I did this on purpose all along" move
"it was a prank bro"
Wait, what did he do?
@@maddisonjohnson4308 acted cringe and doubled down on the cringe
@@jabbragier8574 Yikes!
100% it was that.
The bone witch got in more legal trouble for possession of marijuana than they did for stealing bones. But I wouldn't say it went no where. This actually prompted Louisiana lawmakers to update their laws on possession of human remains to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again. I would say a tumbr post changing state legislature is a pretty significant thing.
ONION BUBS
Never used Tumblr, an I already knew bout bone witch 💀
ONION BUBS!
onion bubs
my people 👈😎👈
Little did we know that the Josh Hutcherson image would make a comeback months later
The bone witch one gets even worse because the bones they were "gathering" were displaced human remains from people who had been buried in the ground. It is very hard to keep bodies in the ground in Louisiana due to how wet and marshy the soil is, especially the closer you get to the Mississippi Delta. A lot of the people buried in the ground tended to be poorer PoC who couldn't afford or weren't allowed to have those fancy above ground mausoleums that New Orleans is famous for, so unfortunately a lot of times their remains float to the surface and get washed away.
it’s astounding how tumblr managed to thirst over a magic triangle with a tophat
What blows my mind is how good the fanart and fan-made character designs are, like looking at all the Onceler fanart I totally understand the appeal/thirst and then I see how he looks in the movie and have no clue how the thirst started in the first place.
From the reader x human!bill fanfics i've read, I think being an evil demon is such an integral part of his personality that if you for some reason wanted to remove that you could just project whatever ideal personality you want on him and it wouldnt feel any more out of character. Although some of the bill fans are into fucked up monsters. Also he fits the "owo quirky random" aesthetic pretty well. (I say this as a tumblr user who really hates the normal-guy-au fanfics and ships my self insert oc foli with a slightly more human version of bill cipher btw, although im trying to be as unbiased as i can)
@@-Foliage- as a fellow Tumblr user, I’ll never forget the first time I stumbled across bill cypher smut, it was weirdly… Good? Lmao
The best thing is how Alex made the canon human Bill design a gross ugly triangular old man. Fucking glorious.
I’m sorry he was just so hot, I as human I couldn’t control myself, I was swept into the ocean and drowned
'Bitch that's the tubby custard machine' is a hilarious precursor to 'Baby that's Keke Palmer'. Even funnier that both lines were used to disprove obvious misinformation
i hadn't heard the second one before and googled it... apparently Keke Palmer has a podcast named after that meme now lolll
"Harold, they are lesbians" - same energy
"pretty sure that's taylor swift"
"no, it's becky"
I can't believe Goncharov was not in this list! This nonexistent movie even sparked fanfiction on AO3! Also, I remember when the Destiel Putin election escapades happened over night. You'd just wake up the next morning and everything was suddenly on fire
Goncharov was real. To Me.
>nonexistent
Sureee, sure.
A lot of people seem to think tumblr's dead nowadays, despite shit like this still happening there
Was listening to this in the background when I heard "destielputinelection day" and "2015" and I went through the stages of grief being confused about the date being wrong and then mad and sad at myself for having such a visceral reaction. Brb touching grass. It was 2020 not 2015 tho
I just went through the same thing, I could've sworn it wasn't long ago and was for the most recent election and felt weirdly wrong because of how vividly I remembered it but apparently mixing up memories or not and I googled it and- oh, no I was right, nothing to worry about lmao
I think the actual case with TCC is that it stand for 'true crime community' AND ''teacher crush community'. They have beaf with each other for having the same acronym
i mean teacher crushes are pretty close to true crime anyways LMAO
@@gallowsAlgorithms As long as the teachers dont reciprocate those feelings then it isnt that bad
Or put a hit out on your wife like my freshman history teacher.
@Zelltronic I'm sorry we cannot just move past that your Freshmen year history teacher did what????
@@IloveNaruto1992 a few years after i graduated he retired. he was known to not be a nice dude, he'd be the first to tell you if nobody did before you met him.
Then moved to diff state, and long story short, someone caught wind of him hiring a hitman on the dark web w bitcoin and they intercepted before anything happened to her. Last name was Replogle, pretty sure you can google it. he plead guilty 😂 theres more details like how it was gonna play out and everything. Some people are not well.
It's always the 'fake identity' controversies that stick out to me, such as HIV-Living claiming to be HIV+ alongside many other identities they did not have in order to write a Hamilton high school AU centered around having HIV+, or that time a major name in ace-exclusionist tumblr turned out to be lying about nearly every aspect of who she was in order to win extra representation points over 'cishet' asexuals. Only on tumblr would you find controversies this wild and specific and completely and utterly pointless.
the ace exclusionist who lied about her identity, allolesbean, also ran HIV-Living. she claimed to be an HIV+ lesbian sex trafficking survivor who lived in India, which she used to try to boost her claim that accepting asexuals is a form of discrimination against HIV+ people. She also claimed that the entire concept of asexuality was pedophilic and sexualized minors, because the idea that minors can be asexual also implies that they can be sexual (as in non-asexual). No idea if she actually hated aces or if she was just a huge asshole who loved the idea of an entire demographic group being socially acceptable to hurt on purpose.
Wait wait whose the second person
Can’t quite remember the exact tumblr name but it was some change on the words “Discourse Princess” (might have been discorsaprincess). Most iconic for their pfp of this emoji: 💖
that’s freaking disgusting. you know those kinds of people hurt those marginalized identities than actual bigots in my opinion. just talking and lying about labels cause it’s “trendy”. as a person with many marginalized identities (disabled, lesbian, person or colour, autism) those people make people like me look bad (as if we use our identities as an excuse to be shitty people, it’s not). i hate people that queer know there’s people want and are desperate for representation, and lie about it and lie to community as if it’s a sought after thing to be freaking OPPRESSED??
those people are worse than bigots tbh. they make those people look bad. they reduce our oppression and suffering to nothing but social points among other marginalized peoples. they reduce our suffering as nothing but labels and a way to manipulate other marginalized identities. it’s just do gross how the same people that use our identities to sway peoples opinions (although it really shouldn’t) and to manipulate others by saying things like “but i’m disabled/a person of colour so this thing is not offensive at all!”
people actually do that. they pretend to be a person of colour, or a gay person or both! to try and sway the public opinion on whether racism is okay or not.
it’s just disgusting and makes me sick. reducing all our struggle to nothing but pity social points.and it makes All OF US look bad.
This was a wonderful trip down memory lane! :3
My favorite post that I'll reference any time I get is "Tag your gore". Where a user posted a picture of a cut open pomegranate, and then another user started yelling at them to tag their gore. When op told them it wasn't gore, its fruit, they're not gonna tag it, the responder DOUBLED DOWN and kept arguing. A classic.
The guy asking him to tag his gore is actually the lorax, hence why he didn't want to see a cut open fruit, making the Tumblr lore go full circle
It was homestuck fanart too
There’s a video about the Bonegazi situation;
Ender is thankfully not free to steal our bones. During the court proceedings they ran off to FLORIDA with their daughter. Cops went and took them back for arraignment. Ender got fined and 5 years suspended sentence . Because fun fact!
There were no laws in Louisiana for specifically stealing human remains, the closest they could use was petty burglary.
They have since made a law against stealing human bones
imagine being the reason it’s illegal to steal human remains 💀
@@sophaloph1129 if only it was titled the “Little Fucking Monster”’s law
@@sophaloph1129 bro ain't nobody trusting you if you're the reason a law exists
It’s actually illegal to even buy human bones from “legitimate sources” in Louisiana bc of this case 😂
you're SO right about the darker sides of the aesthetics. my 2013 posts about me being a drug addicted anorexic 17 year old in an abusive relationship with an older guy got thousands and thousands of notes and reposted to "aesthetic" blogs and i regret them so much
oh my gosh i just realised reading through this the third time that you were legit a drug addicted anorexic 17 year old in an abusive relationship with an older man and not like.. a 13 year old playing a character based on the aesthetic they saw online

"I like your shoelaces."
What does it mean?
@@CBTheCandid
The phrase "I like your shoelaces." was a way to identify fellow tumblr users. If the person receiving the "compliment" was a Tumblr user, they would answer "Thanks, I stole them from the president.". However, if the other person wasn't a Tumblr user, you could simply go on with your life without exposing yourself. This code dates back to a post from the time around 2012, which was made (who would have thought) on Tumblr.
Hope this helps :))
There's been a recent revival of the Onceler fandom- and seeing it just in the top of the iceberg is slightly surreal. The guy was literally *split in two* to be shipped with himself 💀
If I had a nickel for every time a character was shipped with a different version of himself I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
imagine being so vain, you split into two just so you can make out with yourself.
I can kind of see it being at the top though, because while it was a selfcest pioneer, it's still pretty tame compared to a lot of other stuff. For instance, the infamous Wereralph, which I don't think she talked about here. Even if the OG account (and it's most infamous post, the one with the pineapple) got nuked, Wereralph still remains on another blog, and there has to be SOME archive of that post SOMEWHERE.
@InsideJoke true, it was rather tame compared to the other shit on here, I'm no Tumblr connoisseur but I know a bit too much about the Onceler fandom and *that* part of it is just so 💀 to me
@@SkookieCat_Arts I'm guessing the other one is sans lmao
The fact that tumblr now sells merch for some of these is insane
I have 2 favorite things that you didn’t mention:
- Weird festivities like celebrating the Ides of March as if it was a national holiday
- The episode of mass hysteria that was Goncharov the Scorsese mafia movie
Wait, wait, wait. Can we talk about how izzyzz referred to destielgate(which took place in 2020) as taking place first in 2015, then showed a picture representing the 2016 election while stating everyone was in quarantine? I'm DYING
THANK YOU I was just gonna comment on that, I felt like I was in a twilight zone episode. I knew it was from the Trump-Biden election.

I know she's not American, but you've gotta get your years correct 💀 unless it's a joke and we're the dumb ones

I was around for tumblr prom, I remember people posting pictures of their outfits and the whole hype of asking your mutuals to “go with you.” I was about 12 years old and asked my mutual/crush (who later became my boyfriend) to “go to tumblr prom with me” 😭 all of tumblr culture was so silly
I joined tumblr back in 2011 so I wasn't there to experience the "tumblr prom" but I agree, I miss how we were so openly childish and juvenile lol
Tumblr prom was so cute tbh I asked out my now husband "as a friend" and we didn't even start dating til 5 years later lol

@@Senjamin that’s so sweet tbh!! I joined the site in 2013 so I always thought tumblr prom was just a site in-joke like Tumblr University, kinda going “haha wouldn’t it be funny if this happened!” it’s really cute to know that not only was it a real thing kids and teens actually did just for fun, but people wound up meeting their actual significant others through it!!

Honestly now that many people have moved on to other platforms, myself included, Tumblr is probably my favorite social media site because it's actually pretty peaceful and low-key now. It feels kinda cozy
Can say the same. I joined tumbler when most people left, and it's the only site where I don't go insane. Also Neil Gaiman is there.
Lmao I remember how everyone left Tumblr from the pornbot apocalypse and the subsequent flesh-colored pixel lockdown. Ironically most people went to Twitter after which,,, explains a lot
Despite being a certified Tumblr kid, I sometimes forget just how unhinged Tumblr used to be because of how chill it is now. (I mean I'm sure there's still drama but that's true of every social media platform.)
My favorite part was the customization of your profile I was wondering why tumblr wasn't mainstream
Yeah most of the drama is of the same variety I can just block certain words and avoid it
Kinda surprised you didn't mention the mass exodus after porn was banned on the site. I remember so many people, especially artists, being really upset. Also the way that tumblr would autoflag images that weren't even nsfw. My bunny's blog had some pics and videos flagged which like, it was just my rabbit lol
Did they go back on that no porn thing? Or do people just post it anyway and they can't keep up with deleting the content? Because there's a shit ton of it on there still haha
@@---nobody--- no, they didn't go back on it -- closest was that they they added "mature content flags" or something a little while back, which I think are supposed to act as a way to opt in to seeing some more mature content if you're an adult. They don't seem to do much, at least not for me as someone who is an adult. Posting nsfw stuff can still get people's posts or blogs shadowbanned in the tags, but because the site is held together by dental floss and staff seems more concerned with making merch than moderating their site or dealing with the pornbot scourge, people find a way. like how the proana communities izzy mentioned are still VERY active despite being against ToS and just morally reprehensible, people can navigate the restrictions easily when the moderators aren't paying much attention to new tags and censored words.
And somehow the porn bots combined with the N@zi bots like immediately after.
The bots that handled the porn ban were so badly programmed that, despite Tumblr staff explicitly saying text posts were still allowed and only images/videos would be moderated, thousands of text posts were banned
...Even including the post on the _official staff blog_ announcing the porn ban.
Because your feed becomes a very isolated chamber depending on who you follow, I was so fucking confused when the porn thing happened. I remember thinking "bruh, who cares about the ban, there's probably like, 20 porn blogs at most, and there must be barely any people on this site looking for that". And then thinking, well, I'll be damned, you are all some horny weirdos.
My fav controversy was the sudden interest in 'meth tumblr' and specifically the user 'methedupsamurai'. He was a semi-attractive guy who fronted a metal band. Visually not people's idea of a heavy drug user, so he got totally woobified for some reason despite being a literal crackhead and totally acting like it. (Maybe he was a bit of a real-life tumblr sexyman.) He was huge for several months sometime in the late 2010s and then everybody turned on him when he started saying extremely transphobic things. Shocker lol
Hi friends! ❤ The Starbucks hissing story is my post. It was basically the same story as the tubby custard, where I saw a near identical post, but without the last sentence about wasting our lives on the same site. People didn’t get pick up on the joke (reading it back now, I don’t blame them 😅), so I just played into it and replied to hate asks with things like “*hisses at you*”, or “hipster blog 😡”. I’m not mad at all about its infamy- it’s actually hilarious that it’s still floating around the internet pissing people off over a decade later.

my favorite fake dashcon thing was someone trying to plant the rumor that someone had a baby in the ball pit, it wasn't a serious or genuine attempt at misinformation but there was a glorious .3 seconds where it made people wonder "wait, the *what*" and i think that's beautiful

Oh, the thinspo and "self harm as an aesthetic" blogs are unfortunately common. Many gore and csa trauma blogs reblog or post pink cutesy images and the nature of the search function makes it super common to see that stuff if you just want to see cute things, unless you use 3rd party blocking features, and even then, it only works if people are tagging things appropriately.
I've also been followed or messaged by thinspo blogs right after venting about weight related self esteem issues, almost like some of those people deliberately search for hurting people and try to trigger them.
Putin’s Destiel Resignation was the most bizarre night for me considering I wasn’t anywhere NEAR the Supernatural fandom. That nonsense burnt through the ENTIRE site in an INSTANT. I was watching a live count of the election votes while trying to figure out what in the world “superhell” meant and what that one gif of a guy falling through fire was from. The fate of my country was in the balance, and Putin was stepping down because “love wins”???
AND it was the 5th of November. My dash went crazy. Every single post after a refresh was one meme-layer deeper than the last. I loved it

A big thing I remember back when I was a tumblr user in my teenage years, was the Anorexia communities, which were super toxic and encouraged each other not to eat. It was very harmful, I understand the need for communities of people who understand each other but this was genuinely hurting each other 💔
That still exists. The "ED Community" still thrives in its lil pocket and encourages each other to stay sick and continue self harming in pursuit of unhealthy weight. Most of they have bios that basically beg people to not report them (as encouraging EDs is against ToS).
@@jazzycat8917 if you see seemingly random letters and numbers in someones bio along with "block dont report" turn ur ass around and run!!!!!!!!!
When the Tumblr suggested posts started, they were kind of broken and as part of that glitch, I got a few very disturbing pro-ana posts on my dash. Probably because I liked an intuitive eating post. So, the community still exists, at least as of last year
@@SHINee4bleach Yeah unfortunately I’m aware they still exist :( I’m just not on tumblr anymore
they still exist. Just migrated to twitter and tiktok.
The feud between shippers and antis heating up because of that cookie thing reminds me of how the United States went to war with Spain over a news report that wasn't even correct
I used to be a part of the teacher crush community on Tumblr back in middle school. I got into it kind of late so I think I was spared a lot of the creepy stuff that happened, but it did encourage my behavior more than it did relieve it. The fact that the community was used by adults to talk to kids that could be considered "easy targets" so to speak is very creepy and extremely weird. I do think it's important, however, that we give kids safe spaces to talk about their feelings especially at a time in their that can be confusing and down right depressing for them. At the age "teacher crushes" usually happen, a kid could be going through many changes to their body and self esteem. Not to mention what could be going on at home. In my case, and what I feel like is a lot of other kids cases, this made me seek out any sort of validation. I developed an attraction to someone I should not be close with and that's what got me into the community. I am lucky this never led to anything serious happening, and this teacher was still a genuinely good and caring person to me, but it probably caused my self esteem to completely crash and anxiety to go haywire. Talking about it, not to the tcc but to my irl friends and counselors, helped me get better and out of this cycle of validation seeking. Social media of course isn't a good place to discuss your issues, but I think we need to help kids with these types of attractions and issues find safer ways to work through them rather than just telling them that they're cringe or wrong for really liking one of their teachers. (Not saying that's what they said in the video, just that a lot of people hold that opinion rightfully so)
Sorry I know this is kinda late and I understand if what I say sounds wrong. Just wanted to talk a bit about my dark Tumblr experience ^^
Also as a teacher it’s actually quite normal developmentally for kids to develop crushes on teachers. But what’s not normal or okay is for a teacher to encourage it. Or to act on it. A teacher or any adult has the responsibility to protect their students. Children have a lot of changes going on and an adult who cares for them who’s not related to them will often be confused as someone they have romantic feelings for or an attraction. Again it’s normal but as the adults it’s our responsibility to protect the child and make sure we keep them safe.
@@lexirysbarWhat doesn't help is media fetishizing it, even in college when they are both adults, a teacher (or professor), is a position of authority over a student which is not a healthy dynamic.
You're right. Online spaces are bad for this because it can normalise unhealthy habits that kids need support with, not encouragement. In general I think tumblr was a space it was very easy to get groomed on...
One of my favorite things I witnessed on Tumblr was when the ban on spicy content happened, they rolled out new ads around the same time and the spicy content filter was SO BROKEN it censored an IHOP ad that was a stack of pancakes it confused for something else... like you cannot make this up lol imagine being on the marketing team at IHOP and finding out the ad you're paying for is being censored so people can't see it
Edit: the ad was a picture of a really tall stack of pancakes that took a bit to scroll past on mobile. do with that info what you will
I remember people trying to see what ridiculous things would be censored.
Something must’ve flown over my head.
What in the world could a stack of 𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 of all things be mistaken as being racy enough to censor…help me out here?

@@Kane_225 the pancakes were probably seen from above or something, and uh pancakes with a piece of butter on top looks a little bit like a boob. It’s a stretch, but considering how sensitive the filter was…

I had personal experience with "Tumblr Prom"! - I was there in the trenches of awkward and earnest queer teen flirtation - and oh yes, I took part without an ounce of irony in my heart.
Back around the 2010s, I "tumblr-dated" a long string of girls, one of whom was a Canadian lass deep into "bandom" who loved cheesy cutesy couple stuff, like prom pics. (Yup. "My girlfriend from Canada" cliche irl. lmaooo)
She asked if I'd go to Tumblr Prom with her and I obliged, donning my second-hand blue blazer adorned with airbrushed roses straight out of the 80s, white button up, way-too-big black slacks, and a bouquet of fake black roses I had lying around.
Aaaand *post*. A 15-yo emo trans boy in his tentative butch lesbian phase, young Justin Beiber haircut, with all the power and swagger of a 2-month-old puppy, doing his best tumblr sexyman pose & holding fake flowers for his most recent biannual Canadian tumblr girlfriend, a tall glass of ginger nerd grinning eagerly in a blue satin dress.
Enough time has passed that the memory has become endearing rather than embarrassing. I mean, how cutely cringe is that? Online prom for baby nerds. No idea if the pics we exchanged still exist in the tumblr aether (blog is long deactivated) but they live rent-free in my head anyway. 💙 Oh, nostalgia.
that's adorable:( glad y'all could have fun with it
This is the cutest thing, not cringe at all. Even if it is, kids should allowed to be cringe while they’re young.
Lil babies! This is very sweet and wholesome.
I love how the needles in the cookies story could also go in the "Fake Tumblr Stories" category. The rabbit hole of big lies on Tumblr is insane....
I cannot believe that i just got jumscared by Josh Hutcherson from a "just girly things" in a video that was posted 6 months ago. I would never have been able to predict this.

Hearing about "All or Nothing" gave me flashbacks to the infamous Ace Discourse Era, which shoved myself and probably a lot of other asexuals and aromantics back into the closet. I think pan and bi people were also being discoursed a lot during that era too. All this fighting over who's "queer enough" and whether or not certain types of discrimination/oppression actually count and whether or not certain identities are problematic... It rotted my brain lol. The worst part is that it's still going on today, even if to a lesser extent. Sometimes I wonder if the Tumblr environment around aces/pans would be different, for better or for worst, if All or Nothing actually became a series.

I mean destiel putin was less than 3 years ago TT_TT
Man, no words could ever capture the excitment and fervor on tumblr durring the whole "putin resigns/us election day 3/supernatural series finale". It was truely magical, and i say that as someone who has really only ever been a spectator on the site and hasnt seen supernatural. You had to be there, the energy was unmatched.
I remember it being sarah Z’s short video post about the destiel canon that I actually checked tumblr and Twitter trending. I got so hyped I texted my friend, who got into the series years ago, in the middle of the night to tell her. It was so much fun!
Remember remember the 5th of November.
The Dabi reveal in My Hero Academia happened on the same night too 😭 I remember being out that night and checking tumblr on a complete whim while in line for the bathroom, it was batshit insane
my friends and i still celebrate every November 5th…such a cursed day
I was trying to sleep before a night shift but i was so transfixed i couldn't. It was like being high without any drugs involved, i was losing my shit
Being still quite active on Tumblr, I have almost forgotten about all of this. These days the site is such a breath of fresh air after the hostile chaos of TikTok or Reddit... or maybe I just follow really chill people now
I feel the same way so it’s definitely not just you. Tumblr nowadays feels more like an actual community than just another shitty social media site
not only was there tumblr prom, there was a specific *onceler prom* too! it was put on by two onceler cosplay blogs, i was the date for one of them. i thought i was gonna be crowned prom queen but no, the other onceler was :/ we had an actual party too, it was on skype! i went out and bought a green dress from the thrift store for it and had to go to a friend's house to participate and not get interrogated by my parents ;w;
"This party is cool, but I wish there was a way to find the geeks and gamers in the crowd"
"I like your shoelaces."
"Thanks, I stole them from the president"
i used to constantly tell my classmates that and im embarassed about that
During the first Tumblr prom I ran a Twilight Princess Link RP blog. Someone asked Link to prom (an OC) and I said yes and posted an edit I made of Link in a green suit 😂

The creator of Interwebs is Jamie Green! They’re and incredibly talented artist with a new graphic novel coming out in their series and it’s really good and creative, I definitely reccomend checking out their current work!
someone somewhere is playing whistle by Flo Rida because josh hutcherson was mentioned
one of my favorite things about the whole john green copypasta is in his response he didnt even say "men"- he said "people with penises". kind of every time i hear about john (or hank as well by that matter) i only become more of an enthusiast. (also, ive legitimately never gotten the hatred he got. it just seems like people were just mad and wanted a guy that in their minds was fit for that role who they could focus on, then proceeded to pull apart every thing hes said or done)
A big part of the people being against him was that people just thought he was cringe. The majority of the people involved in hating him were very young, and it really didn't mean much else beyond that
They hated him because they were losers who wanted their loser friends to think they were more progressive and cooler than they actually were
As someone wise once said: he might be cringe but that is not a moral failing
I was very sad when John left Tumblr, I hope he comes back. And Neil Gaiman never got that reaction which I don’t understand. Not that I want Neil Gaiman to be harassed, I just don’t understand.
@@elif6908 Maybe because Neil Gaiman had his big break before tumblr was even a thing? The fact he already had an established fanbase that hadn't grown up with internet probably helps him a attract more ''level-headed'' people (though he gets the ocasional ill-intentioned ask, most of the time everything seems pretty chill! I love his blog). Meanwhile, John Green solidified his presence on the internet with his vlogs and blog, and attracted a different audience. Or maybe it's luck, who knows?
Wheatley being a Tumblr sexyman is so extremely bizarre to me. He's not tall, brooding or mysterious, he's just a literal idiot ball who goes down an evil path in the second half of the game and regrets doing what he did when he is defeated.

As someone who has never touched Tumblr and only really got into internet culture stuff by the late 2010's Interwebs is absolutely fascinating to me. The way all these old forms of social media websites are personified and act as time capsules for how those sites and their userbases were perceived at the time. On an unrelated note the choice by the general community to ship Tumblr and 4chan together is interesting to me as despite all the very obvious differences the two sites userbases had and the relative distaste each site carried for the other (at from what I've seen) they share quite a few similarities. They both want to be a sort of weirdo safe space that pushed back against any perceived outside interference, have hundreds of in jokes about all the stupid crap that's happened on their site over the years, and even began waning in popularity starting in the late 2010's in the face of newer and more popular social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, and even TikTok.
I cant escape josh hutcherson
I don't think anything can ever match that insane energy of DestielPutinElection day for me. I was already feeling a little loopy that day because I was on new meds and the combined news of Destiel being canon + the anxiety around the election was just... undescribable. Truly the best payoff to being a chronically online ex-Supernatural fan. I was seeing shrimp colours.

Bro the worst part for me was that this was in the middle of the pandemic and I made the absolute worst decision to watch it with my friend from the beginning to the end. We were dealing with our political and death related anxieties by watching Supernatural.

The most ironic thing about the Onceler Fandom is that it feels like a manufactured parody of shipping culture but is somehow not.
It was painfuly not selfaware and oddly pure at the core of its depravity because of it. The "anything goes" of tumblr sexymen.
sans undertale also suffered such fate but at least that was loosely (very loosely) based on the game itself, Oncest is the wildest shit because of how it even came to be
The fact that a bunch of people just came together and went "wait the Onceler is hot, right? What if there were 2 Oncelers and they smooched" and it exploded into this whole thing is pure insanity
