What’s Another Year (of Tumblr): A Retrospective

It’s been approximately two years since I’ve joined this god-forsaken website.

The stat roundup:

  • 60 blogs followed (+10)
  • 749 followers (+583; thanks, everyone!)
  • 3,424 posts (+2,351; that’s kinda scary.)
  • and 2,617 likes. (+1,698)

So I gave Tumblr another year. If you haven’t read my previous retrospective you probably should. But yes…have my opinions of the website changed this time???

Old man ranting and sentimentality ahead.

Something I still don’t quite understand is why tumblr’s community feels the need to slap a saturation filter on gifs of almost any kind.

removing frames I can understand due to filesize, but the saturation thing is beyond me.

Why am I not surprised that tumblr is literally more than a year late to the clipart fad

Video: Serious Sam makes an off-handed tumblr post and social justice activists come to the rescue.

this dangan ronpa thing is getting really annoying because even when i blacklist it everyone has different tags for it like different names

I try to at least give something a chance before judging it but damn I still hate it when tumblr oversaturates a certain piece of media with stupid fandom shit oMG ICNAT BREATHER

how are hipster posts bad?

what is bad about a picture of a cute pair of shoes or starbucks or a fucking poem. i dont get it. how are you superior to someone because you like shows on BBC

Exactly what I’d expect a hipster to say.

considering im a member of many fandoms including neon genesis evangelion, homestuck, and a few others, no not really.

but that’s exactly what i’d expect a shitty fandom blogger with a superiority complex to say.

“I’m a member of many fandoms”

ITT: nobody wins

Arranging more than two long images on top of eachother in a photoset should be a bannable offense.
