OP

[(Anonymous)]

I have a friend in a similar situation. She's not a BNF like your friend is, but she's fairly well known and liked in our fandom. She also got involved in charity work, and through that she's been able to make contacts with people like the show's creator. There are people who are jealous of this, even though she worked very hard for it, and didn't just have it fall into her lap. They try to trip her up all the time, they try to find 'proof' that her contacts are faked, and that she's exaggerating things. They send her abusive emails under anonymous accounts, and I know all of this upsets her more than she lets on. But she still won't call out anyone, even when she does know who the abuse is coming from, and I suspect its for the same reason your friend won't call anyone out either - she doesn't want to deal with the drama, and she'd rather focus on more important things. You say your friend does charity work as well. Maybe she doesn't want to call anyone out because the ensuing drama it would cause might affect the work she's trying to do. Maybe that's more important to her than the momentary satisfaction of naming names, as you put it.

The fact that your friend is a BNF makes it even more fraught with difficulties in terms of calling people out. Your friend being a BNF has certain expectations on her. What if she calls these people out and the fandom backlashes against her, because she's seen to be abusing her position of power in the fandom - even if she is in the right.

tl:dr You can't force someone to respond to a situation the way you think they should. It's their choice how to handle things.
