On November 14th, 2010, 4chan (more specifically /b/) launched its planned campaign, Operation Overlord, against the blogging website, tumblr.
Anonymous began spamming shock images to the site and continually fired their Low-orbit Ion Cannons (a type of denial of service program) and managed to temporarily bring down the home page of tumblr, although individual blogs continued to function.
In retaliation, the “hipsters” from tumblr posted multiple images of cats to /b/ as part of Operation Overkitten.
While the initial counterattack seemed to have little effect, several of 4chan’s moderator’s decided that anonymous had crossed the line and proceeded to render /b/ dysfunctional for a short while, causing all threads to 404 upon creation.
During the aftermath, a decent fraction of anonymous decided they would rather live in harmony harmony oh love~ with tumblr than remain hostile.
Thus Tumblr-tan’s and Anonymous’ relationship was born.
Tumblr-tan
Shaded in the same blue-white color scheme as her namesake, Tumblr-tan usually bears objects and clothing associated with the “hipster” subculture, often sporting thick-framed glasses and a pin in the shape of the “T” in the tumblr logo. Her personality and relationship with anonymous varies, depending on the whims of the individual artist. Tumblr-tan’s persona ranges from shy, love-struck, and clingy to aggressive, openly antagonistic, and spiteful.
Anon-sama
Anonymous is portrayed as he always has been: green, faceless, and with a snappy suit. . However, character-wise, his personality also fluctuates, being anything simply disinterested or nervous to that of a rapist in Lincoln Park.
