  I once heard someone describe Tumblr as 'leftist 4chan" and I've yet to recovery. I've never heard a more concise description of Tumblr in my life

  I still vividly remember telling one of my tumblr mutuals who had never heard of 4chan and was relatively sheltered to just ignore the drama, but they insisted on immediately delving into /b/ of all boards. It was like watching someone rushing onto the battlefield armed with only a pool noodle and then immediately stepping on a landmine.

  4chan orchestrating a fake raid from tumblr to justify their real raid is literally just a medieval noble forging a letter pretending the nearby kingdom didn&apos;t like them as an excuse to go to war

  As someone who was on both 4chan and tumblr during the 2010 raid, it was something so uniquely 2010 that it could never be repeated.

  its kinda weird that tumblr has a reputation of being &quot;soft&quot; when the only settings for tumblr users are &quot;regular person who is on for fandom/oc stuff&quot; or &quot;battle hardened war veteran shaped by years of discourse and homophobic anon hate mail&quot;

  2014-2015 internet culture feels so alien and isolated from the rest of history. That lull moment in the pre-Trump/late-Obama era before everyone went insane.

  Tumblr is the origin of half the memes, 4chan is the origin of the other half. &nbsp;Tumblr tells long probably fake stories, &nbsp;greentexts exist. The one major difference is that Tumblr banned porn.

  The thing I remember best from that time was that the Homestuck tag was so goddamn weird already that the 4chan raiders abandoned even trying to spam it

  The funny thing about the 2014 4chan raid was that it was almost entirely 4chan users fighting themselves via sockpuppets. Very Ms. Scribe of them.
