Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
serious or satire?
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.
This isn’t the equality any of us wanted ;-;
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.
It's interesting to me that they infiltrated 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.
La Leche is a group which in some areas is great at helping mothers who want to breastfeed, but have medical/societal barriers. In other areas, it seems to exist to shame adoptive mothers and those who don’t want to breastfeed. If I wanted to find terfs in my area, that’s where I’d look.
Yeah - La Leche pamphlets have always seemed a little… off…
The TERFs get extremely upset at trans women breastfeeding. It’s one of the things a trans woman can do that puts them in the “worthy of death” category.
Several TERFs have made extremely violent posts. Tumblr won’t take down the posts or ban the people, but it will not let me call them out on their violence. My screenshots get taken down for “violating community guidelines” but the actual “i want trans people dead” things stay.
