I too find Tumblr is a vicious, angry place. Everyone attacks everyone without even trying to understand or broaden their world view. Everything is attack. Everything is American POV (in my opinion, how often does any other opinion get a word in?), I also found it sucked the joy I have for my fandoms right out and I had to step back.
I love Teen Wolf, I love Derek/Stiles, but I hate the amount of hate that's around (particularly on the back of T-Pose saying what he said last week *sigh*)
So, yeah, I'm still on here, I think the Teen Wolf Fandom is pretty quiet on here? But I've deliberately not gone looking in case there is more wank. I don't think it is as bad here though, but that might be because it's quieter (and dare I say it, more of us here are older?)
Excellent point both on the US-centrism and the age. I've just reduced my following-list to 1 third of what it was (you're still there). Hopefully I'll manage to steer away from the wank.
I definitely think there is a maturity issue (heaven forbid you say that on there though) and so many angry Americans who think that every country has exactly the same issues they do, it gets old quickly, no one else's opinion seems to matter :/
Yeah, I don't follow that many people (I don't think :/) but still things creep in now and then, and I feel bad for the poor people who get bombarded with the hate when really all they are doing is loving their ship and wanting everyone to get along, but some people just want to start an argument.
LJ's my safe haven in that regard. Hopefully it can be for you too again, because really, dealing with all the angry and all the hate on there all the time just makes me sad and I need to step back from that often :/
