Three-four years back, I was dating this girl. She's like 'yeah I'm really into tumblr' which was really no big deal. Mostly for homestuck/anime shit.
Then, she got into the whole 'sjw' side of tumblr. Starts talking about the patriarchy and white male privilege, most of which I just shrug off. Z few months later, she comes to me and outs herself as trans. "I'm actually a boy in a girl's body". At that point I started distancing myself, and it got worse and worse.
Trans turned into 'genderqueer' because she wanted an excuse to dress like a girl again without getting crucified by her tumblr friends. Genderqueer turned into 'grey-sexual' or whatever the fuck when her friends convinced her our having sex was me oppressing her. Then it turned into me being called a 'shitlord' for doing the things I've always done, that she previously had no problem with(hunting, fishing, making/selling knives). She slowly alienated all of our mutual friends, to the point where they stopped inviting me to social functions because they didn't want her there.
Fast forward a few tedious weeks of us pretty much avoiding each other, her firing snide and hostile comments about literally everything possible. I was planning a party at my place (because fuck you, friends, no way out)and had bought a ton of food and snacks, beer etc, and put a note near all of it, 'do not eat, for party saturday'. Sure enough, I come home, and two 1lb bags of twizzlers are fucking gone. Not a big deal in and of itself, but it's the principle of the thing, you know?
We get into this huge knock-down of a screaming match, where I confront her for alienating all our friends, being snide and hateful because she feels enlightened, and generally being a shitty person all-around since she started using tumblr for hours and hours every day. She retorts with your pretty much textbook tumblr-jargon, 'cis scum' and 'privilege' this, etc etc. I get her and her stuff in the car, and drop her off at her mom's house, tell her 'it's over'. She leaves the car, storms off, and I think 'great, it'll be a nice clean break'. Yeah fucking right.
Two days later of me ignoring calls and texts, her MOTHER shows up at my house, super pissed, spitting venom. 'He said you made him feel like a glutton for yelling about the twizzlers, and he said you blamed him for losing all your friends etc etc'. I just don't say anything and go inside, because arguing wouldn't have solved anything. Another week of ignored calls and texts, and it dies down.
Fast forward to two weeks ago, give or take. I wonder 'hey, how is - doing?' and catch up with them online. 'He' is grey-sexual, genderqueer, otherkin(thinks he's a dog), schizophrenic, bi-polar, has multiple personalities (all of which are aware of each other, most of which are characters from whatever anime he's obsessed with at the time), and a whole fucking list of other shit.
I guess my point is, of course I walked away from halfchan a little warped. I'd been there since probably '05-06. But, holy fuck, tumblr will rape your mind and turn you into someone completely different.
Pic related. Or used to be, who the fuck knows

It's not a 'he', it's an 'it'.
I feel for you, OP.

Nice ass… Is that why you stayed with her even after she started going crazy? Anyway, I disagree that tumblr has the power to turn sane people into freaks. If someone becomes a SJW after spending too much time on tumblr, let's face it, she probably wasn't a good person in the first place. If you think about it, this is maybe the only good thing about feminism: it makes it easier to tell the good girls from the bad.
