And if you're not actually doing anything but putting that in front of your fics.... you're virtue signalling. Like... I can't be any clearer about this. ???

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.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrr you're actually doing what the campaign asked, which is raising awareness of this issue (because it's literally in a fic title now so it's visible to more users) and showing others in the community that they're not alone in caring about racism on AO3, which is what's needed to hold the org accountable.

literally i've seen all this stuff spelled out by EOTWR themselves on twitter/tumblr why is it so hard for people to get

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.

Lol sure, that’s why the goals of the campaign were successfully met, because their methods were totally ineffective & everyone just thought they were full of shit

(Anonymous) 2023-07-02 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
If the goals of the campaign were successfully met, why are they calling for more action? Exactly what action are they calling for? Oh yeah, censorship...

Lol do you know how activism works? Why do democrats continue to hold events after a successful national election? Why do ppl who care about the environment continue to care even after a specific successful campaign?

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

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???

act in various ways to continue to hold OTW accountable

And they've done that. OTW actually thanked them for keeping that in the spotlight. Mission accomplished. So what are they campaigning for again?

Do you think successful activism irl has just never happened in the last 10 years?????

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
