I suppose I meant they aren't "active users", but I have no way of actually knowing that. I imagine if they hate it that much they wouldn't subject themselves to it, but then the Great Internet Culture War of 2015 happened and I don't know what to believe anymore.
Here's the problem: Tumblr is huge. Really huge. It's a large community with a lot of facets and a fair share of overlap, but not necessarily on all points. People like to complain about "Tumblr feminists," but I suspect it's because they're actively looking for them. The site is not overwhelmingly feminist/SJW/PC/whatever, but it gets the rep because people have a fetish for it.
Not that I'm knocking fetishes. Aside from when my girlfriend links me to a Tumblr post, about the only time I actually end up on the site is when doing Google image searches for porn. I mean, I hope you can see what I'm trying to connect here.
Do you remember when that guy did a study on major gaming publications for words like "sexism," "diversity" and feminism? He came back with a .4% total mention rate. Less than half a percent. People are outraged that feminism is taking over gaming, but what they're reacting to is less than half of one percent. They're not really mad that it's taking over. They're mad the conversation exists at all.
While I couldn't guess at the overall ratios on Tumblr, I imagine it's actually a similar thing.
There's predominantly porn on Tumblr if that's all you look for. Similarly, if you're looking for Tumblr feminists to rage at....
I don't know, it's one of my favourite Iommi/Hughes tracks.
