Near Lurker:
I will never understand just how Tumblr became such a cesspool of people ineffectually trying to make the world better.

I would wager it has to do with the human ego + taking the idea of demanding progress to its logical extreme and beyond + a lot of angry people from livejournal and the greater blogosphere who feel that the place for social justice and transformation of society is in society's entertainment and basically nowhere else + special snowflake syndrome + not feeling validated enough + Even More Human Ego and then someone was like "what the fuck is this 'sense of decency', let's just throw that out and be shitlords to each other!!!!!" and now, now you have Tumblr Today.

It's more "angst-ridden 20something" and "teen shitlords that emulate them", but yeah, lately the presence of the latter is god damn overwhelming, this is true!
Also, no, no, I like 4chan better because 4chan has always been a bunch of dipshits and they don't pretend to be anything else--there's a level of self-awareness there of how awful you, the anonymous person, really is for posting this incredibly unwarranted shit, and there's no hugging, there's no validation, when you fuck up.
That's really the worst part of Tumblr, is this validation bullshit atmosphere. It was born of good intentions, but it is a malignant tumor now
