Can't speak for OP but Tumblr has a pretty big SJW subculture; screenshots from more esoteric or radical discussions get some ridicule on reddit and elsewhere. Check (the equally toxic) subreddit tumblrinaction for a sample of this type of content. I can't tell you how representative that is of the whole site though as I am also not a tumblr user.

I'd like to point out that you're referencing hand picked, extreme examples of a community. There's a massive bias. You have no way of knowing what Tumblr is like based on these examples.
From my experience, TIA is rather representative once you remove the various art blogs and their reblogs.

As I've stated in another comment, several creators I enjoy have been massively bullied by wider communities on Tumblr until they left.
