Well, as much as this is going to piss people off, Tumblr is always in panic. I don't think there has been a single day when they are not in mass panic over something.
Obviously. But they're more panicked than usual. Unfortunately, certain Tumblrites are under the impression that if they spam 4Chan with kittens, they will win. Yeah, great idea. Kindly punch the bear that just mauled you
