If you were pretty online between 2013 and 2018, first of all, I’m sorry, second of all, you are most likely familiar with the somewhat hard-to-define sire called Tumblr. Part interactive blog, a repository for creative works, and a safe haven for fandoms, its influence can still be felt across various internet spaces to this day.
“The Worst of Tumblr” Facebook page actually goes above and beyond its name and shares hilarious and random posts as well. Below you will find a collection that should be entertaining and a bit unhinged, regardless of your taste, so remember to upvote your favorites as you scroll through and comment your thoughts below.

RELATED:
Part of the appeal of Tumblr was its key differences with other social media. Instead of focusing on the individual person, the focus revolved around fandoms, art, memes, and discussions. One’s personality plays a part in what one creates, but the anonymity did allow for more freeform content.
It’s not surprising that many artists, actors, and musicians all had Tumblr accounts at some point, before, during, and after fame. Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and even Ryan Reynolds have and perhaps still are allegedly Tumblr users. While one does not have to stay anonymous on Tumblr, it no doubt adds to the appeal.

While still quite popular, or at least recognizable, Tumblr is still a pretty niche platform compared to giants like Twitter or Facebook. While this might mean less revenue for its owners, the flip side is more focused content and a more consistent demographic. The vast majority of its users were teens and college students, with at least half of its active user base being younger than 25.
Unlike many other social networking sites, Tumblr users are surprisingly prolific, as many do make their own content. In 2019, there would be over 21 million posts made a day, despite only approximately 30 million active users at that time. Compared to Facebook or Instagram, where the majority of users almost never post anything, it’s still a vibrant community, if somewhat reduced over the last few years.

"How could you leave me? Every day there has been a very persistent burglar here looking for me. Luckily I am good at hiding."
This reduction in content and usage came about in 2018 when adult content was banned in an attempt to make the platform more marketable. This, predictably, backfired, as more adult-style content was quite popular. The anonymity and relative freedom of content originally made Tumblr a haven for people exploring their sexuality and researching others’ experiences.
#13
While many assume that the rapid reduction in usage following the adult content ban indicated that much of Tumblr content was not for children, statistically, only approximately 22% of its traffic was specifically for this sort of content. Many left the platform in protest, not so much because they needed it for adult content, but because they did not like the direction it was going.

Good for her, but there's nothing wrong with having a preference. (There is a lot wrong with using the preference as a pretense to mock or degrade people one isn't attracted to though.)
Parmeisan 2 years ago
Nothing wrong with a preference, but it's a bit weird if it's a dealbreaker. I mean it's up to each person to decide but there's a weirdly high number of people who aren't capable of looking past it. I think many of them are limiting themselves unnecessarily.

My wife is 5'9" (well over 6' in heels) and I'm 5'-nothing. As I often say, from where I stand, everything is in perfect line of sight.

Weird post. Yes, congrats on your love and happy marriage, but I'm 6'4 and neither I nor any of my tall male friends are womanizing alcoholics. Many are happily in love, just like her.

I want a short king who is both strong enough to throw me around, and small enough that I can throw him around. I suppose I also need to be strong in this scenario. We will be strong and short together.

Hmmmm... that is a weird post that deserves unpacking. She is insulting short men, tall men, herself, and alcoholics. Kind of sort of as a flex brag/ humble brag. Strange.

I’m 6’ 4” and have been happily married for decades. My wife wasn’t seeking a tall man, we ‘clicked’ on love of outdoors, primarily camping. Finding a 76” tall guy was a bonus. So, please don’t condemn all for a simple preference.

As s****y as this timeline currently is I'm happy that we have and use many more positive terms now, like 'short king', when we used to bully someone like this over something they couldn't help (or if they could and just didn't want to).

My BFF from HS lives over an hour away (more if there is traffic-Houston). When my kids were little, she always came to my house to visit. She married later in life and had 1 kid. Now I try to go visit her when her schedule allows. And that's why we've been BFFs for 42 years and counting.

This award gives points at each race for the fastest times and there’s a league table of these. Red Bull are widely acknowledged as the fastest team in the pits, rarely are they troubled by Ferrari.

Mine moved back to my state, and bought a house with an upstairs hubby, youngest, roommate and I could live in. All so I could pay off medical bills from cancer. Just as we're almost done, hubby has a heart attack, then 10 months later a stroke. They've paid our bills for 8 months while waiting for retirement to kick in and never once complained. I hope I'm that good a parent !
