The moral responsibility thing has always reminded me of that CS Lewis line about the tyranny sincerely executed for the good of the victim being the most oppressive. I was never *on* Tumblr, but the queer culture at my college was basically Tumblr-in-meatspace, which was very interesting to live through as a questioning-and-confused person with no idea what I was identifying as-- I never went near the queer culture at my college, because you either assimilated or they hated you forever as an appropriator, and there was no middle ground. And I wasn't like them. (And then they insisted that the reason the rest of campus disliked them was because the other students were homophobic. It couldn't *possibly* have anything to do with how they were acting, no not at all.)
