As funny as it could be I wouldn’t want to play any part in it. You don’t know when someone is going to lash out.
I spent close to a year being stalked and harassed by another man, although for a different reason than what could happen here. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone. Being an ally shouldn’t have to mean taking the bullet for someone else. We should be working together to create safety networks where no one has to be at risk or in harms way.
I mean there’s different roles. Some people would take pride in being a lightning rod, some people actively enjoy it
In general, yes, the future we build should not depend on lightning rods. Self sacrifice (of time and/or personal risk) should not be expected of people. But I do think a little glorification is in order, because we live in the worst timeline
