Tumblr’s combative interactions, in-action and assemblage in anime fandom posts
This article uses multimodal discourse analysis to address responses to perceived sexualization on Tumblr through the explication of a specific post and its reblogs. Tumblr’s particular affordances in the period around 2018–19 prevented (and continues to prevent) discussion between and among fans, in contrast to other online spaces, such as message boards. Instead, this post, utilizing content from anime Kill la Kill (2013) serves as material for…
Tumblr Meta-Fandom
Drawing from qualitative interviews with nine active Tumblr users conducted in the Fall/Winter of 2021-2022 and qualitative multimodal analysis of high-circulation “popular” Tumblr posts, this research assesses and analyzes transformations in user attitudes towards Tumblr three years on from Verizon’s porn ban, and immediately prior to and following additional attempts to restrict adult content enacted by Automattic.

In response, Tumblr deleted the blogs and accounts of these 84 users but allowed reblogs of their posts to continue to circulate openly on the platform. Through a case study of posts originating with one IRA account, Lagonegirl, and qualitat…
