It's not like virtue signaling is a horrible thing. It doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't hurt anyone. But the reason it's got such a bad reputation is that it also doesn't HELP anyone(else). It's a bit masturbatory.
And like I said, it's the best scenario in this instance.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-01 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)literally i've seen all this stuff spelled out by EOTWR themselves on twitter/tumblr why is it so hard for people to get

(Anonymous) 2023-07-01 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)Except it's not raising awareness of the issue because it doesn't discuss the issue. At most, people will see that and think, "oh, they're against racism, good" and move on. Which is literally virtue signaling.
People who actually want to know more will find the EOTWR and realize they're full of shit and now will have a negative opinion of everyone who got duped into putting that on their fic without knowing what it actually was. Like I said, virtue signaling is the best case scenario in this situation.

(Anonymous) 2023-07-02 12:39 am (UTC)(link)The campaign is over, doesn’t mean everyone shut their brains off immediately. Most ppl moved on, some continue to talk and act in various ways to continue to hold OTW accountable
Anyway they’re def the censorship police for literally asking OTW to update about a promise the org itself made

(Anonymous) 2023-07-02 12:56 am (UTC)(link)LOLOLOLOL what world do you live in that you think ANY of that has been successful? Have you gone outside at any point in time in the last ten years???
And they've done that. OTW actually thanked them for keeping that in the spotlight. Mission accomplished. So what are they campaigning for again?

(Anonymous) 2023-07-02 01:06 am (UTC)(link)I guess that does explain it. Sorry I don’t have that kind of time lol
Activism isn’t a zero sum game, you do campaigns that rally attention & resources, you accomplish small goals, that’s what success is</> and it doesn’t mean you just forget about it & move on afterwards (like in the examples I gave).
Anyway recommend you actually look at irl activism & then compare it to EOTWR & then things will stop seeming like a conspiracy theory. It’s just… normal activism
