Apparently, There's a Lot of Hate for "Tumblr Crushes"

I don’t know where the hate comes from.  Tumblr crushes are just a silly little thing.  I understand that it can get annoying when people post them with no text, which is why I usually make a little joke about them (I only post them if I notice something funny or unusual), or when they are posted too damn often. They fill space when you can’t think of anything else to post, and they’re a quick way to let 9 people know that they are your favorite Tumblists.

I’m not personally in a lot of them, and that’s fine.  My blog is an acquired taste and is frequently too inside-jokey or just plain weird (BLOGTRONIC, for instance) for people to actively “like”.  That’s fine.  Big deal.  I know a lot of people like me even if they are not officially “crushing” on me.  Also, yes, people tend to like blogs written by people that they are attracted to.  Why else do you think all the ladies in my list are, well, ladies?

Again, I don’t have a problem with any of this.  It’s just a fun, silly thing, and if you do have a big problem with it, I suggest that you are perhaps taking Tumblr too seriously.  Tumblr will never be “serious” as long as people are posting a different part of their body every other day.
