The Beauty of Accountability: Huda Kattan and the Backlash of Political Influence

At the heart of this controversy lies the concept of "Selective Activism." Critics pointed out that Kattan has historically been very vocal about various global social justice issues, using her platform to donate and raise awareness for specific causes. While this activism is often praised, it creates a standard of expectation. When she appeared hesitant or took positions that Iranians felt ignored their specific struggles against government oppression, the contrast was jarring. This inconsistency led many to believe that her activism was calculated based on business interests or regional safety rather than a universal commitment to human rights.
