    Spend any length of time in the tumblr Star Wars fandom, and two things will happen: you’ll come out loving Star Wars a million times more than you did before, and also you’ll be completely unable to talk about it with anyone not in the tumblr fandom any more.

    Also, on tumblr every single Star Wars character is bisexual, except Anakin (who’s demi), Ahsoka (lesbian), and Luke (gay). So be ready for that.

      I thought that on Tumblr, every single character from any popular franchise was bisexual? /halfjoking

        Not all of them. According to them the MC creators George and Dreamwastaken are 100% gay and secretly fucking (yes some really are so depraved they actually ship IRL people- though those two, like complete fools, are fine with it while one of their friends who started out when he was under 18 had to constantly remind them he was a kid!)

        I mean as a bi male I like gay and lesbian ships, but not when you set things up so you almost have a bunch of entirely-new, fan-made canons where all the prevailing ships between any 2 legally-fuckable characters are just the same forced and low-effort homosexual ships spammed constantly.

        And many of them don’t even remotely fit, as they have this weird obsession with forcing 2 sworn enemies together- like Drarry (Draco/Harry) in HP, Rusame (Russia/America in countryhumans), or even Steve/Herobrine in Minecraft, where nothing seems to even reproduce using sex (the babies immediately appear out of thin air and incest has no genetic consequences)

    I’m just gonna say it: tumblr was actually good for a while, I liked it very much. But the ball pit catastrophe was the las straw.
