Why do so much? Just go support the celebs who are speaking out and stop caring so much about ones who don't. It's just too much of a time wasting thing to go and block every celeb who hasn't spoken out, when it's much better to go and follow/support every celeb who has spoken out. It's better to follow the good people than to go unfollow the bad people or the people who haven't said anything.
I think this is THE greatest thing our generation can do. Definitely a trend I can hop on to. Hailey's ' I'm not informed enough ' was really irritating. It's beenote than HALF AN YEAR to learnt what's been going on. Just say ' I don't care enough' we all know what u mean anyway. And this goes for ALL the celebrities who make this sort of excuse

@@KpopOpinionator I don't have anything against their careers or jobs. I have nothing against the status of having money and being rich. What I am against is: 1) Everyone who idolizes these people like they are gods or some higher-level being. 2) These celebrities are so disconnected from the world we live in it's scary. Personally, watching celebrities pretty up for these events while millions suffer globally is very disconcerting to me. I can't stomach that these people live their lives lavishly while so many suffer. It truly feels dystopian. They have the power, money, and influence to bring attention to so many global conflicts. They don't have to get political with things as that is always messy but they have the ability to shed light on people who suffer in silence. For example, barely anybody knows what is happening in Sudan right now. If one of these celebrities who has millions of followers were to bring up the suffering people are enduring in Sudan, that would spread awareness on a massive scale. Celebrities' constant me me me me me attitude at its core is very selfish and something I will criticize.

Millitary? Why aren't we actually protesting to our leaders They get away free While y'all harass celebrities who maybe self absorbed or vain Have a actually nothing to do with this 2. again celebrities don't have an obligation to raise awareness at all The war can be easily ended if our stupid government actually did anything And if everyone pressured Celebrities aren't activists They don't need to involve themselves in politics Stop expecting celebrities to do stuff they didn't sign up for doing Just cus tay or BTS is famous doesn't mean their countries leaders

My teachers never took the "I'm not informed enough" as an answer to any subject. They always said inform yourself if you truly care about your grades. The same works here for these celebrities. We live in an age where we can learn anything and everything at the touch of a few buttons at our fingertips. If you truly care about what is happening, you will put in the effort to learn about it even at a rudimentary level.
You are only as powerful as the people allow you to be
You don’t have to be informed or educated to realise and understand that there are literal innocent kids being blown up. They have no voices, so we are their voice. Celebrities will come up with any excuse, its about time they get cancelled 😴
Boycott #blockout24
They've had 6 months to talk out. Where's MrBeast? Clearly, a guy who's praised for his philanthropy should speak out. But no. He's selective about it. He has the most followers. There's no excuse. He just wants to continue blowing up cars and saying he's saving the environment. Not only should we be blocking celebrities, bus also social media influencers like KSI and Airrack who refuse to even speak out. Speed did it, Macklemore did it, Due Lipa did it. What's their excuse?

Great idea! Love it.
On the last question of whether this campaign would be effective, I would say yes, at least from the point of view of drawing attention to not only artists but also their fans. Just because you’re an artist doesn’t mean that you really are someone educated in politics, social justice, etc. Also, this is another form of boycott with which I agree with. The important thing is to not feel resentful against those who haven’t spoken up, whether they knew about these or not. I hope you’re doing this to educate them and let them know that we are the ones who have the power. We’re the ones who make them famous, rich, and influential. One last thing, whatever they decide to do, let’s hope they do it from their heart and not just because they feel obligated to protect their status.
