Tumblr is a "short-form" multimedia blogging platform. A favored stomping ground of college-age (and [[EmoTeen younger]]) amateur photographers, graphic artists, fandom bloggers, social justice bloggers, and people who just felt like making one. It's far less text-rich than other blogging sites. Users tend to collate pretty images and {{meme}}s from around the internet on their tumblogs, with most memes also being popular on [[{{Imageboards}} 4chan]] and Reddit at the same time. They can also follow one another and reblog or like one another's posts, a system that encourages popularity contests. Themed tumblogs abound, from [[http://fuckyeahdioramas.tumblr.com/ Fuck Yeah, Dioramas!]] to [[http://shannahmcgill.tumblr.com/ The Right Writing]] to [[http://lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.tumblr.com/ Lesbians Who Look Like Justin Bieber]]. We also [[http://tvtropesorg.tumblr.com have a tumblr]].

**** The {{Hannibal}} fandom was ''made'' of this from the start. Including their official blog.

** There's even anthropomorphisizing of of [[http://antemrd.tumblr.com/post/18546286605 tumblr]] [[http://theladystache.tumblr.com/post/28243793405/yeah-here-you-go-tumblr-edit-here-are-some itself]].
* ArchEnemy: With {{Facebook}}. Alternatively, [[{{Imageboards}} 4chan]] considers Tumblr this. Especially /co/ due to [[YaoiFangirl yaoi fangirls]] and rampant shippers which they feel bring in the more annoying (to them) aspects of fandom and make discussing things besides {{Shipping}} a chore if not impossible. The vitriol got even worse once ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' premiered and Tumblr practically exploded in Korra love, fanart and [[ShipToShipCombat shipping wars]].
** Website/SomethingAwful has a distaste for the site, though it's mostly due to the nerdity[[note]]SomethingAwful has an unbridled, unironic hatred of nerds.[[/note]], "hugboxing"[[note]]An echo chamber of positivity that deflects any legitimate criticism[[/note]], and social justice warriors.

*** Even the fandoms themselves can get into wars, like the rivalry between Superwholock and Homestuck.
**** This extends into people who ''hate'' fandoms (and nerd stuff in general) who have a particular BerserkButton for a certain fandom, never passing up the chance to shower fandom members in venom. Hetalia and Homestuck are popular targets.

* DuelingProducts: Fought with and eventually took over LiveJournal's spot as ''the'' fandom location on the internet. There are examples of small to medium size fandoms completely abandoning LiveJournal in favour of Tumblr. One example is ICarly, which had a half-dozen or so active journals with regular discussion turn into ghost-towns, as the fandom quit en masse to join Tumblr instead.
** Tumblr is such ''the'' fandom location on the web that it even has a fandom ''for fandoms''. AnthropomorphicPersonification style.
** To a lesser extent, DeviantArt, as many artists abandon DeviantArt for Tumblr due the tagging system letting your art be seen by more people.

* FandomNod: Several shows with big fandoms have their own official Tumblrs.

* OneOfUs: Celebrities with Tumblr accounts include NeilGaiman and AmandaPalmer, who use the site to talk directly with their fans. Creator/DaphneAshbrook (who played companion Grace in ''Series/DoctorWho'') is truly OneOfUs and runs two Tumblr accounts: [[http://daphneashbrook.tumblr.com one for herself]] (in which she chats with fans every day and occasionally posts in-character bits as Grace), and [[http://webdalek.tumblr.com one for her pet Dalek]].
** MirandaCosgrove ''had'' one, but was driven away after relentless cyberbullying of her via tagging her name in nasty posts and photoshops.
** FeliciaDay has one.

** "Kill yourself" is, unfortunately, a very widespread favorite among question-askers. It's enough that .gif remixes replacing {{cat scare}}s and {{dramatic reveal}}s with "kill urself" are popular.

* {{NSFW}}: Dear lord is it not. Best not to do searches while at work or around the family, lest you run into porn (of all shapes). Fortunately, there is an [[http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/30860 app out there]] to save you from the nasties or whatever you don't want to see. Except for the things that were not tagged correctly.

* {{Adorkable}}: Most of the famous people that tumblr users fangirl over are best described as this. Just look at Creator/MartinFreeman, Creator/TomHiddleston, and Creator/BenedictCumberbatch.
** Heck most of the users themselves fall into this category. The sheer number of posts about social awkwardness, shyness and the excitement they display over fandom developments is staggering.

* BerserkButton: For most users, "[[BlatantLies We'll Be Back Shortly]]", and for others, the error page.
** For the love of god do not make rape jokes, it will only end badly!
** It is perfectly OK to blow off some steam and post about how much you vehemently hate something, but ''jesus tapdancing christ don't tag it''. The ''fans'' of that thing who track the tag will see it and you will be ripped many new ones.

** For all that is good and holy, know the difference between 'you're' and 'your'!

** Anything, ANYTHING involving anorexia in a bright(...ish) light(headcanons, pro-ana blogs) is absolutely ''not'' welcome.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: What most people see social justice bloggers as. [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement And that is all we will say on the matter.]]

* SatireParodyPastiche: Very common to find these type of themes blogs, either in the form of pretentious hipsters, or angry social justice bloggers. They sometimes come in the form of StealthParody as well.

** The character of "Social Justice Sally" is a parody of this tendency.

** Also, ost teenagers on tumblr will complain about being assigned essays for school, when at the same time, they'll write a hundred pages on why Loki blinked looking at Thor.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: Tumblr is home to left-wing, anti-oppression bloggers who are disparagingly known as "social justice warriors", and they are [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment often accused]] of being this due to their practice of angrily "calling people out" for not recognizing privilege for a variety of reasons. Many of them migrated from the social justice community on LiveJournal, which had (and still does) a similar reputation.

* SatireParodyPastiche: Very common to find these type of themes blogs, either in the form of pretentious hipsters, or angry social justice warrior. They sometimes come in the form of StealthParody as well.

** The character of "Social Justice Sally" is a parody of this tendency, sending up bloggers who know all the buzzwords and vitriol but lack any real understanding of the actual issues, and will hypocritically attack anything that they think is offensive, while letting other blatantly bigoted things slide because it's not ''their'' problem, or because they're bigoted themselves.

** There's actually a fandom for the "men of tumblr", mainly for doing silly/creative things, or subverting gender roles.

We also [[http://tvtropesorg.tumblr.com have a tumblr]].

** For the social justice community, the slightest ''hint'' of anything 'problematic' in almost any way.

* AccentuateTheNegative: Tumblr users seem to enjoy doing this to their favourite works of fiction; it's not uncommon either for someone to make a lengthy post deconstructing something in order to demonstrate why it's actually the most depressing, horrifying and / or darkest thing you'll ever experience, no matter how cheerful or uplifting it appears to be on the surface, or essentially hijacking someone else's post of a typically cheerful, uplifting moment to point why it's actually sad and they should feel sad. If Tumblr users [[MemeticMutation are to be believed]], then [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Dean Winchester]] cannot crack a harmless joke without it being a soul-destroying reflection of his myriad psychological issues and [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] can't do anything at all without it being the most depressing and heartbreaking thing ever.
