Do you think people know about the causes they support (blue hair for Autism Awareness, ALS ice bucket challenge, etc.)?

A few years ago it was in vogue to die all or part of your hair blue to support Autism Awareness. How many people who did it actually knew what they were supporting? Same with the ALS ice bucket challenge. It seems most people just claim they're doing their part with no idea what it actually is.

Not really no
Like the dummkopfs that donated to Christian children's fund. They thought every cent went to a needy kid, like 5 or 10 cents per dollar went to the kid.

I never did the ice bucket challenge because I didn't know a lot about ALS. I probably know more about it than most people who did it knew though.
I didn't see the point of blue hair as Autism Awareness was designed to help people like me who are in the Autism Spectrum

Only thing I donate to now, is RAINN, and that's only because what they fight against and help victims of is something that has impacted me. I don't care about the rest. NOT ALS, not starving kids and so on.

I care about then, but I am aware of what I can and can't provide

[Agape93]

Better than me, I just flatly don't care lol

I think you mentioned you were raped and threatened with death. I hope you are getting the support you need. I know it isn't easy my sister was raped (several times) and can't wear a ponytail anymore (which she was wearing the first time). As expected none of her rapists were charged and only two were ever reported to the police (not that they were found).

Sort of like those people who support Ukraine and who change their profile pics to Ukrainian flags.
