Tumblr's mlm tag came up in the Enbie thread, and - the curious idiot I am - I had to go take a peek.
It seems that mlm combines two of the most cancerous portions of tumblr: the gay-fetishizing side obsessed with their yaoi slash couples (all in the guise of being progressive and in favor of muh representation) and the genderspecial side (which brings us to the floods of mlm selfies that are obviously young women/girls who do not try to pass for male, but claim themselves to be transgender).
And, since this is indeed tumblr, we can't forget the constant praise and "support" heaped onto those with psychological/medical conditions.
Frankly, the levels of "uwu so sweet, pure, flawless aesthetic" in this tag are super off-putting. This tag is basically the beating heart of tumblr: a collection of posts about the glorification of disabled, poc, trans, gays as well as selfies of girls with short haircuts and problem glasses with captions like, "wow im hecka cute."
