The argument isn’t about caring, it’s about caring enough to actually show up at the UN with picket signs as some apparently did. Signing a petition is a perfectly reasonable response to the issue, but that’s about as much effort as it’s worth.
As for alt-right d-bags, you’re right, there’s probably no reaching them anyway, but for anyone out there not clued-in to the issues this kind of thing can make alt-right arguments appear valid, “see?! SJW’s are always looking for something to get pissed about!” Maybe I’m overestimating how effective that is for them, but still, don’t give enemies ammunition.
From CNN:
“The UN has previously used other fictional characters – including Red from Angry Birds and Winnie the Pooh – to promote messages about happiness and friendship.
News that Wonder Woman is being dropped upset some fans of the comic book character – and another petition was launched Tuesday by Tara Peterson, a 14-year-old fan campaigning to reinstate her.”
Hey, I agree women’s rights is a real issue, tell it to Tara Peterson.
