Tumblr was an incredibly successful psyop. Destroyed at least two generations of women (and a few effeminate men).
The site rewards people who start shit with free attention. So tumblr women were inadvertently trained to always be starting shit with the worst fucking takes possible.
Which is worse, Tumblr or TikTok? Which social media sites caused the most harm to women's minds?
TikTok easily. That thing is doing damage we won't even know about for a decade.
the porn? also tumblr.
the 2017 porn ban may have legitimately shaped elections.
This is one reason I say that outright banning it is a losing battle. Look what happened.
Same thing with abortion. Women just love killing their kids too much to care about anything else
I'm all in favor of banning abortion but I will take elimination by threat of violence as well.
Indeed. I can see that Elon Musk (by intent or not) has seemingly scared some people off the platform merely by putting orange man and gay frogs man back on it, so there is a chance that he is shaping elections (or at least that which shapes elections itself).
I can't be too certain, though, like anything else that's happened with wokeness.
These fucks ruined Newgrounds too by migrating there since they allow porn
Tumblr was ground zero for a lot of the shit we have to put up with.
We should have learned from the great 4chan Tumblr war on how to deal with them, no codling and forcing them to surrender.
except they ultimately won that war
By calling in a superpower to assist (big tech, government institutions)
Right, they didn't win a war, they were used as a biological weapon by an entity far, far more powerful than them. Not quite the same.
That sounds similar to how Something Awful was taken over by Biting Beaver and the Catlady Brigade who banned everyone to the right of Mao. It makes me wonder if they had anyone in government leaning on Lowtax.
I've been saying for a while: the porn ban on Tumblr should be remembered as the internets very own Chernobyl Disaster.
Here you had a site that not only contained but amplified crazy voices to ever higher levels (while presenting a face that could be comfortably mocked by more sensible places - 'you don't want to act like a tumblrina, do you?'), and when the heads tried to reassert control that crazy exploded across the face of the internet, poisoning everything they touched.

We took Tumblr for granted. It was a nice little padded room for the Internet's retards.
The real golden age though, was when the barrier of entry was actually getting connected. Phones let every retard on earth participate in what once belonged to only nerds.
Before they hit critical mass, all social justice freak behavior is easily stopped if you have even one moderator willing to tell them to get fucked and keep telling them to get fucked when they start the shrieking and bawling and doxxing. The only way to really beat them is keep them from networking with each other in the first place. If there had been a single administrator on the Something Awful forums 20 years ago with any decency and spine (lol), you would see far less bluehaired freak activism today.
Do people still use tumblr? I thought it died when they banned porn
exactly. tumblr died and the tumblr users migrated to twitter and ruined it
