What exactly makes something a tumblr game? Does it have something to do with the character design and/or artstyle, or the game's storyline? Or is it something else?
When the characters or writing is filled with SJW bullshit, it's a tumblr game.
A tumblr game is a game someone hates for no reason and has to find a reason to so they slap and unrelated label on

Define SJW bullshit, you mean like having gay characters or something?
A tumblr game is a game Tumblr latches onto and can't stop praising it for adhering to their shitty deluded ideals.
Even if the game had nothing to do with them.

A game with a heavy handed message to it. It's trying to appeal to under-represented minorities by simply slapping them in there and calling it a day.
You can have gays & minorities in your game and it not be tumblr. What's important is how they're written.

Typically these games feature LGBT characters with no personality whatsoever, with their defining characteristic being that they're gay, and they're sure to bring it up in every line of dialogue.

Shame too, I'm a sucker for the stereotypical flamboyant/gay character like say Thanos from uprising. Why writers don't cash in on this besides muh sensitivity is beyond me.

I see, so for extreme example, a game could have a gay, Indian main character, but so long as they're a competent and interesting MC, the game won't be labeled a tumblr game in the end, right?

Yes.
Although tumblr might latch onto him and rewrite him to fit more with their agenda. But at this point, it should just become a new rule of the internet.
Examples of games with minority type characters but aren't Tumblr?

Super Mario Sunshine is a tumblr game, for example. Just look at the Piantas.

What did he mean by this?

He's an evil guy.
But what i meant is that that one sound that the Piantas make when walking around the city or standing around is LITERALLY "tumblr".
