 Specific to fandom, Tumblr has served to incubate the widespread opinions that nobody must like any canons, characters, or fic that is "problematic," a word which is interpreted broadly. Relatedly, many Tumblr users are insistent that there is no clear boundary between reality and fiction. Nonnies have often rolled their eyes at Tumblr users who have complex headcanons for characters that are heavily based on their supposed sexualities, sexual identities, and disabilities. In early April 2015, [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/131867.html?thread=686760731#cmt686760731|this meme conversation about Tumblr culture]] touched on these points and others.
