If people think they are truly making a difference by doing this, then yes they might be delusional.
Does this opinion make me a "slacktivist"? I don't know, I don't really care. I donate to certain causes at random times and I am sure that I could do a heck of a lot more and I plan to.
But getting all up in arms because of some silly Facebook "campaign" is kinda trivial to me.
Maybe it is a sign of an apathetic society, maybe too many people are "Slacktivists"

Maybe it's a sign of an apathetic society when anyone who doesn't support a campaign like this is accused of being "up in arms" or "tearing into people". You're either apathetic or labeled as too serious if you state an opinion on it.
Most people who don't like the campaign are not making a huge deal about it, but having an opinion and not just doing whatever everyone else is gets you labeled as a prude with a stick up yours.
