Speaking out in public also helps, doesn’t cost much, and it’s (almost) free publicity as long as you don’t fuck up.
Comment on Why do celebs make statements on controversial stuff and surprised when it comes with consequences?

Receiving money from a celebrity won’t be much comfort when you are bombed to death at age 6. It is wild that people are trying to make this seem normal. Pushing back is the morally correct thing to do.

Can’t really blame someone for trying to do (what they believe is) the right thing. A lot of good causes have come from people using their platform to raise awareness.
The people who suffer the consequences, probably weren’t talking about good causes, but they must have believed that they were. And more people openly share terrible opinions when they think that a lot of others feel the same way.
