In many ways, this has been my experience. I absolutely respect that online activism can and does have big impact - especially when it comes to social issues in the media, which is what fandom activism tends to be about and is massively influential in our media-dominated world. On the other hand...well, I've mentioned before the hilarity of being called a racist by someone in fandom the same day I got my NAACP membership card in the mail.

It's great that people spend so much time and effort, online, to effect change in the media, which is often seen as the bridge between online culture and the offline world. That is valuable and important work, and I absolutely attribute a lot of new, positive trends in the media specifically to online activism and social justice culture.

But at the same time, I have work to do in real life. Excuse me if I don't care about the finer points of how some actress is appropriating my ethnicity's culture because she's wearing a provocative sari, I'm too busy trying to get fucking pepper spray out of my clothes from the political riot at my school.

(This actually happened - that particular cultural appropriation issue was white people beating themselves up over nothing, while that protest/riot actually changed a policy that impacted academic mobility in a classist context.)
