Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Serious. I follow several of these little groups. Discord server seems fairly active, in the dozens.

Eventually, tumblr is going to get a teenage girl to shoot somewhere up.

I think there is something sinister going on.

Something else I am seeing, a group aligned with the transphobia crowd, is an anti-adoption movement. It’s really complicated and subtle, but I think there’s anti-abortion and pro-trad marriage types sneaking into spaces labeled “feminist.” Tumblr has a lot of teenagers on it, including very young ones, who are getting suckered into some dangerous ideologies.

Yeah it's definitely a right wing christian agenda in this whole thing. Same as with the 'manosphere', which started out telling people to be tough and 'manly' and has ended up with something like purity culture where they evaluate women to carry their babies for them and vote against women's rights. I even saw a stat that these same young men that follow the manosphere are starting to turn religious, surprise surprise.

This TERF shit is the same agenda but for women. And the terminology is slightly more sophisticated because it's aimed at people that actually read and won't believe just any story about George Soros or whatever. So their version of "woke agenda" is "trans ideology". But they're both the same, both fighting to preserve and enforce white christian patriarchal culture onto everyone and push down and eradicate anyone who breaks norms.

And the sad part is that I think a lot genuinely think they're trailblazing rebels or something. But they're doing exactly what the conservative religious right wants. The same people that want to see them reduced to kitchen appliances and baby incubators.

It's interesting to me that they infiltrates what's essentially been kind of a bastion of rabid pro LGBTQ+ rights media. There's a lot of pro-trans users on Tumblr. It'd be like going to xitter and trying to infiltrate and spread pro-liberal information. The main user base doesn't really align with that.
