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.
