Essential viewing if you want to understand the development of reactionary garbage on the internet and the foundation of the myth of the wildly unreasonable "SJW" on absolute bullshit...basically memeing itself into existence.
The beginning of this is mostly focused on a humorous look at Old Tumblr as the title implies, but this is really serious and necessary work.

There's a lot of emotionally heavy and potentially triggering stuff on here, as you can imagine given that it attempts to log every part of the queer experience. That said, it's also blindingly beautiful.

To me it seemed more like the idea was to do legally distinct things from Nintendo IP and watch as they got hit with them anyway.
Either way, this was lovely.

I do feel like Ellis is sometimes a bit too willing to go in with making jokes out of just how bad something is. I appreciate that it means she doesn't tiptoe around awful shit, but it does occasionally come off in a way that'd probably be fine to do around a specific trans friend or something but is a bit flippant given how public it is. While I and a lot of other trans people I know are cool with it, I think I'd probably avoid showing this to certain friends for that reason. Minor in the grand scheme of things, of course.
I do...or did, but the password isn't in my manager and I'm too exhausted to search for it atm. I'd appreciate if you added it.
