That's because it's tumblr (says the person who's on tumblr every day, oops, shhh...)
But eeeh yeah, it's full of a lot of young people who are overburdened with a great deal of passion, but haven't yet had the life experience to temper in with some chill and common sense. Post cute pics, keep to your corner, block the more volatile people to keep them from showing up on your dash if they stress you out and take a break if you need a breather.
(I will say it tends to be a lot more stable and easy going that most of the reptile facebook groups I've encountered which is just sad, considering. )
