celebrities are not expected to solicit donations for charities. if they care about charity they should just donate from the millions they have, instead of asking poor people to do it for them.
You’ve never heard people complaining that they should use the platform they’ve been given for this or that? Also they do donate typically but I’ve noticed no amount short of every last dollar they have isn’t enough. Even then I am sure somehow someone would be disgruntled.
honestly I haven’t heard those complaints, but I am far removed from the celebrity gossip scene. i only hear the big stories.
i think it would be a good idea for celebrities to provide a service, like a meet & greet or an autograph in exchange for people donating. i still think it’s unbecoming for them to ask for donations without either donating a large amount themselves or giving something in return
I mean I’m not too plugged in either but I feel like I see it about as often as I see complaints like this post. Also they do exactly that or sign and auction items for charity. I would say with their time and proportional to what normal people normally give the celebrities who are involved in philanthropy tend to give more than your average person and yet get scolded for it.
Billy Eilish recently donated 11.5M or about 22% of all of her money. Generally speaking we don’t normally see people donating 20%+ of all of their money and I’m speaking about people who have the capacity to give 20%+. Now I’m sure there will still be people angry at what she chose to donate to or arguing that she didn’t give enough and so on. I personally don’t like people attacking philanthropy short of the charity being a scam. All giving is good and all publicity is good. For worthwhile causes and charities. I would much rather us focus our attention. On scam charities of which unfortunately there are many in this world.
I don’t see a problem doing both. If you believe in a charity and can afford to give, you should. And you certainly can then encourage others to follow suit. This applies to celebrities too.
But this meme is describing celebrities asking others to give for a cause they aren’t supporting themselves, despite having much more money to spare. They probably view it more as just another job, but if they are doing more than just performing and are actively soliciting donations then that is hypocrisy.

If you can’t afford to give then don’t give. The people who give can afford to give
