People generally get annoyed at protesting minority social issues when they're brought up in odd settings. When you're having coffee with your friends, when you're discussing the weekend camping trip, when you're playing poker, when you're grindin' rails at the skatepark, when you're at a party, when you're watching a movie, when you're walking the dog, when you're on music forums etc etc. Most people understand that these issues are important, but bringing them up in unrelated places doesn't solve anything, we get that awareness is important but it's not going to go any further than that on the general internet, everyone is a click away from discovering some sweet new tunes rather than saving the world.

If people want to effectively work towards social solutions they've got to do it in the right setting, get the message to the right people with the resources to actually make a significant move. And this isn't in defense of apathetic computer chair slugs like us, it's just how it is. If you want to be productive in a particular endeavor, whether that's working for social solutions or getting a particular job or getting a grade changed on your final exam or whatever, you need to know who you're talking to and anticipate their reactions, is our attention really worth your time and effort?
