Because of people with noticeable autistic traits are often not part of the "rainbow coalition"

So it's more of a celebration for anti-bullying activists, and not necessarily for people who have been bullied themselves.

Got it.

"Virtue Signaling"
Like a certain politician who showed up at one of the relief camps after the Northridge earthquake to give photo-ops for the people who were running the relief effort from their air-conditioned RVs, while the real volunteers were shooed away and told to help the real victims fill out claims forms on the other side of the camp.
