Tumblr does frequently drive me nuts - not this aspect, but a shift I've seen in adult fans I know to the same kind of language as the teenagers in ways I can't quite forgive all the time (I can take a fifteen-year-old wailing about a character she loves in ways that wind up ableist more than a thirty-year-old, particularly when the latter is pretending she's superior the former).
But...this on the politics. They'll get there, most of them. Give them a few years.
