Kinda, yeah. If people get consistently called on their hypocrisy that's part of the social context, and putting together a good argument in public for why This Is Not OK removes plausible deniability and gives others who are already on side tools for promoting good behaviour.

I have stopped doing "reeeee" because called out as "look that's not considerate to spectrum folk stereotypes"

I can consume thousands of media with messages about self love, courage and friendship and not learn a single thing so yes

Yeah it's usually like "oh damn I didn't realise this thing that I thought was harmless actually hurts people? Guess it doesn't cost me much to stop"

it's a crapshoot; if the argument is well founded I'll stop, but if it's clear they don't have adequate reasoning/perspective and have not considered what would happen if people stopped, I'll go out of my way to pick it apart before more people get cowed
