Tumblr is a site that allows for photo or art blogs. In practice, it's somewhat similar to Livejournal and DeviantArt, and wouldn't really warrant any interest from the *chans or /tg/ in general if it weren't for the fact that there's a number of artists on tumblr catering to some of /tg/'s many interests, and its often stormy relationship with 4chan for reasons too complex to describe within the scope of this article. To make a very long and Skubby story short; Tumblr has just as many crazy fucks as 4chan and the very word "Tumblr" and its variants (Tumblrfag, Tumblina, and so on) have their place in 4chan history as just one of a long line of meaningless buzzword insults and boogeymen after "hipster" and "casual" fell out of favor from overuse.
What is Tumblr?
Tumblr is a free and ad-free microblogging platform owned and operated by Yahoo! Incorporated. The service allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form blog. Users can follow other users' blogs, as well as make their blogs private, if desired. Much of the website's features are accessed from the "dashboard" interface, where the option to post content and posts of followed blogs appear. This enables, in theory, a stream of content even if a given blogger is not able to actively update that often. In practice, Tumblr's ability to reblog individual blogs tends to lead to a lot of flat-out cropped content from other blogs, but that's not what brought it to /tg/'s notice.
To make an increasingly long and irritating story short, /pol/ and to a somewhat lesser extent /v/ wanted somebody to fight their battles over issues the rest of 4chan didn't care about and convinced idiots from the site tried to raid 4chan in the hope of gathering allies to its unhinged cause. Both said idiots and board anons failed miserably- several times in a row (Disregard that I am from tumblr and suck cocks). The less you know about the details, the better- but suffice to say the use of the word "problematic" in a sentence and/or mentioning feminism in any context is likely to set off a frenzy of shitposting that will continue for hours on end.
