Beware of becoming a zealot and attacking other artists or players who, for reasons of their own, do not want to “Join In”
.
Some less successful artists or content creators need that next pay check in a way that you might not be able to understand.
Because you are not them!
.
Some players may need to play to alleviate depression, anxiety, and other mental health symptoms that you might not be able to understand.
Because you are not them!
.
If it is no longer "really" voluntary, just bowing to social pressure or not done with an honest complete conviction.
Would you really want anyone to protest anything?
.
You cannot protest the limitation of human rights and choices of some, by limiting human rights and the choices of others.
Even if you are just leveraging your influence to exert social pressure.

(Well, you can, but not while maintaining your personal integrity)

.
You have no right to tell other people what to do
Any more than they can tell you what to do
.
Make the world aware, YES! ALLWAYS!
But you do NOT get any privileged right to demand the conformity of all others!
.
No one has crowned you as a member of royalty!
.
The whole protest, after all,
IS about freedom of personal choice Vs those who would take that away.
Of any gender!
Of anyone!
Anywhere!
.

.

As for the vile sexual predators!?

.
The sort of shits that try and silence their victims?!
.
No matter how right YOU are!
No matter how wrong THEY are!
YOUR oppression is not more valid and less evil than THEIR oppression!
That's Not how it works.
.
You are just achieving getting a little closer to being a slightly different version of what you hate!
.

.

The Emotional tightrope is…

.
Be angry enough to defend what is right AT ALL PERSONAL COST
.
BUT WITHOUT
.
Indulging your hate for the perpetrators.
.
Hate is just a naturally occurring, highly addictive and heady combat drug!
.
The Perpetrators are, who they are, by seeing other people as just mere things.
.
If You Now let Your Own hate, Allow You to make, You see THEM, The Perpetrators, Also as just mere things?
.
Then HOW can true Goodness EVER Win?
.

Trust someone who is always falling off this very same figurative tightrope. All the time! When You Do fall off,

.

You ARE both indulging and harming yourself and your vital cause!
