Oh, I hadn't heard of that archive before. Thank you so much for the link.
I'm definitely going to stick to my optimism, if only because people who would normally write hardcore f/f rather than soft and sweet have been put off by the lack of privacy and control that tumblr encouraged. Real privacy controls will surely help us all get our brains straight again.
But it's interesting to see the roots of this phenomenon stretch back that far.
I suppose terfs did have to sense a fertile ground for their ideas though, so it makes sense.
