Typically when I see such messaging in an out of place venue it nudges me slightly against both the message and the venue pushing the message. This occurs regardless of whether I agree with the message. I feel the same way as when I see an ad: this does not belong here.
I don’t think I am the only one who has this reaction. People who do this should consider if it’s actually helping their cause. If not it’s just feelgood signaling, or possibly even counterproductive.
Same, especially if I see they have a double standard.

Hysterics aside, this is a real effect and you’re a fool for ignoring it.
I know it's real. But it doesn't excuse giving away one's values just because something inconvenienced them.
As an example, do I find some vegans annoying on the internet? Yes. Does it mean I will instead start supporting carnism, or push back on veganism? No, absolutely not. Because these are values I have, and no actions of others can change what I value.
