Golden Globes attendees have been spotted wearing 'Be Good' pins in support of the Renee Good initiative, but not everyone seems convinced of its impact. When asked about the accessory trend, Bill Maher's reaction was notably skeptical. A reporter pointed out that Wanda Sykes had also opted to wear the pin, asking whether Maher thought such symbolic gestures actually make a difference. Maher's response was dismissive—essentially suggesting that high-profile events like the Globes are primarily about the spectacle rather than substantive action. His take reflects a broader conversation about whether celebrity-led awareness campaigns translate into real-world change or merely serve as performative gestures.

Uh... it's that same empty concern again, just a pin and you think you can change the world? Bill's words are spot on.

I don't think Maher is wrong. These pins are just for taking photos. Do they really change anything?

Selling villas, buying dog food. Is the Golden Globes still the same? Can wearing a pin change the world?

Honestly, whether you wear this pin or not doesn't really change anything; it's just for looking good in photos.

Haha Maher is back again, saying those pins are just for show. But honestly... if these activities could really make a difference, I would have seen a miracle by now.

Don't talk to me about symbolic meaning, those pins are really worth just a few bucks.
---
The folks at the Golden Globe Awards wear a pin and think they are saving the world? Wake up.
---
Although Maher is a bit harsh, this time he really hit the nail on the head... focusing only on appearances is useless.
---
I just want to know how much money has actually been donated through these pins. Without data on just the pins, it's really hard to believe.
---
It's the same old trick, wear the pin, take a photo for Instagram, and then nothing happens.
---
Come to think of it... not doing anything isn't an option either, and doing it gets you criticized. It's really hard to win these days.
---
Celebrity activism is just like that, just enough to grab attention.
---
Wanda also wore one, and she's a serious person... so maybe we can't completely dismiss it.

Bill Maher is right, this kind of pin is just self-congratulation.

Wait, I need to dig into the fund flow behind these "Be Good" pins... The Golden Globe Awards red carpet show, how much does that product placement cost? What is the actual donation amount for the Renee Good initiative? Can't it be checked on the blockchain?
