How is anyone supposed to care about issues if they don't have people advocating for them? Pushing people to "think for themselves" and get more involved is all well and good but the reality is most people don't have the time, energy, or motivation to personally research what companies and issues they want to get upset about. Let alone the energy to stick to their convictions. So that argument basically falls flat to me - if everyone just quietly cared about issues there would be no group cultural awareness of them. If you want to make a distinction on virtue signalling where it's seems like...they have to be loud advocates for obvious issues, but they also have to be hypocritical, and they may not be giving up anything or stick to it...I dunno? That seems like a weirdly specific thing to complain about. what i mean by "making a big deal out if it" is shit like how in lordofthemoron's blizzard topic, lisel opined that the people who didn't loudly condemn blizzard were "scum" and "pieces of shit." boycotting blizzard is cool, but to assassinate people's characters over being "not anti-blizzard enough" is fucking ridiculous. so yeah, you're correct in that i'm complaining about tone. i never said i'm against people boycotting blizzard or chick-fil-a, but when you're doing this hysterical "OMG WE HAVE TO FIGHT THESE PIECES OF SHIT WHO AREN'T SPEAKING OUT LOUDLY ENOUGH" thing as part of your "boycott," it does come across as virtue signalling. --- Geothermal terpsichorean ejectamenta <cite>Mr Lasastryke posted [p:929564275] in Chick-Fil-...
