I get what you’re saying, but what you’re missing is that the sort of cliquishness that you’re speaking of can save people’s lives.
I grew up in a place where difference wasn’t accepted or tolerated, so I understand and empathize there. But it’s that sort of attitude that causes the theater kids to be so insular and protective of their own environment. It’s not the same thing as the cool kids being cliquish (though it can come with it’s own problems). Tumblr allows those kids to find a larger group and kids in places with no other theater kids to find someone that understands and accepts them.
That doesn’t mean tumblr can’t have problems of course. I just think that we all need a safe space, and being snarky about this one misses that point, I’d argue.
