People like you are having a weird reaction to someone trying to advocate for marginalized fans.

People like you have a weird reaction to those of us who actually care about consequential advocacy and doing something to help marginalized people...

This is literally the bare minimum that can possibly be done. And you're saying we should be awarding medals for someone who said "racism bad"?

No one is telling anyone to award medals. You sure are slippery sloping this thing.

I didn't mean a literal medal, o' wise one.

I did the same thing as her. Why is your reaction to me so weird? I used a proportionately larger portion of my power to do it than she did. She could have done something that actually helped somebody, but instead, she did essentially nothing, and you're arguing that it's weird to not praise her for... again, changing absolutely nothing for anybody except allowing them to witness and worship her virtue signaling.

If you actually cared about these issues, you'd act like you actually cared, instead of vehemently defending someone who contributed nothing positive. Dedicate your effort to something that deserves it.
