Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

Are they really huge as far as queer subcultures go? Like I've met one irl, but they've always seemed small and like they skewed older. But also it makes sense that I wouldn't meet many mostly hanging out in leather scenes
Big enough to have a significant online presence, but they don't exactly overlap with other queer scenes much. If the average sissy had any healthy exposure to most parts of our culture, they probably wouldn't be sissies. It's a form of queerness almost entirely predicated on self-hatred.
