Your misunderstanding is blaming the tumblr users for this where they are victims of a deliberate misinformation campaign.

The whole “someone can’t read Wikipedia” excuse is exactly the same as what trolls themselves say.

obviously the kiwi farms people are the main perpetrators here (and I now realise they are clearly 4chan/alt-right types), but we shouldn't apologise for the tumblr people's readiness to harass people off the back of hearsay either.

Thanks, and yes I agree that the Tumblr people shouldn’t react so easily.
