THEORY: Any group, organization, or community that allows itself to be co-opted will ultimately see a decline in their progress, suffer extreme humiliation, and die in a incredibly embarrassing and shameful manner.
You see people making these predictions all the time with other groups. You got the Tea Part Movement in the GOP, you have Atheism+, but none have actually met their demise just yet, until now. Tumblr and the Social Justice Movement is the first example to prove this theory right, and the most shameful thing about the death of this movement was that the last pebble they used as the ground beneath their feet fell from their own undoing. They killed themselves, and one of them [i]literally[/i].
For those of you not wanting to watch the video (which is pretty long I agree), I'll basically give you the run down. So after #EndFather'sDay, this last bastion of progressiveness in this patriarchal, misogynistic, white, hetero-normative world decided "Why stop when they're ahead?" So on Independence Day, instead of celebrating a holiday founded on white evil, and the genocide of innocent non-whites, Tumblr decided to do the unthinkable, and take the fight to the homeland.
To 4chan.
And as you can predict, right before Tumblr shot their own movement in the head they learned a valuable lesson that you can't out shitpost a professional shitposter. They decided to raid /b/, /pol/, /v/, any board that spews misogynistic, racist, and white hetero-normative evil (which is clearly all of them, those dirty bigot pigs!) and the entire raid only lasted for about 40 minutes before they derped on home and patted themselves on the back for showing those internet bullies who's boss.
Except 4chan decided to follow them, and the results were beyond hilarious. Gore, -blam!- images, and photoshopped porn was spread throughout all of the site, every # on the site was flooded with complete shit. The bitch storm was perfect, one user even created a petition on the White House website to shutdown 4chan. Now of you were to look up the actual Tumblr post for the petition, it was reblogged [b][u]28,000[/u][/b] times, clearly this petition is gaining traction with an incredible....[url=https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/shut-down-4chan/W4fTPV6Q]964 signatures[/url]. The only way this could be more insulting is if someone one on 4chan started their own petition later and got much more signatures.

Well Tumblr, ya -blam!-ing did it. I'm not talking about accomplishing you raid, or your progressive bullshit, I'm talking about taking the original movement you stole and you managed to drive it into the ground and turn it into an internet laughing stock. This race to the bottom, as you all try to be the most oppressed, disadvantaged, extraordinary individual has accomplished [b][i]shit[/i][/b]. I hate to break it to you, but the world doesn't care about some "headmate induced, bi-fluid, pony-curious, otherkin" because all of that is a steaming load of Sahagin Shit.
Xi, Xi, Xo, Xum, I smell the blood of CIS scum. As for me, I guess I just need to check my privilege, but I'll do that at Tumblr's funereal.

People actually died in that raid. I really don't know what to say.
