When did Tumblr become a bastion of lard? I remember that not too long ago (maybe 6-7 years ago?)  Tumblr used to be associated almost exclusively with very skinny women - the most circulated material was images of thin women dressed in "hipster" gear; high waisted shorts, crop tops, triangle tattoos, and so on. There was a very bohemian vibe. Sometimes there were "beachy" themes of thin, tanned women with long blonde hair in bikinis drinking overpriced water and holding coconuts, or whatever. I even remember seeing YouTube videos and WikiHow articles on "how to be a Tumblr girl" - and a Tumblr girl was a thin, beautiful woman who wore a lot of edgy, fashion forward clothes from places like Urban Outfitters and Free People (hipster-y?) It wasn't the most particularly interesting thing I had ever seen but it wasn't the ham planet hellscape it is today. What happened? Why did Tumblr fall to the pigs? It's like a complete 180 from my first encounter with Tumblr.   Edit: Here are some pictures as examples of the typical content found on "Old Tumblr."  Example 1  Example 2  Example 3
