If you’re somewhere like Australia or Japan, where it’s not a normal part of the culture, then fine
If you’re somewhere in the US where the laws around pay are shitty, and people rely on tips to survive, then you’re a cunt for not tipping
I think tipping is shit, and that people should just be paid properly, but I’m not blind to the realities of life when I travel. So I do what is appropriate to be a decent person
An individual not tipping has no impact on the status quo because the system doesn’t care about the reason people don’t tip.
A large number of people choosing not to purchase goods and services from businesses that rely on tipping could possibly have an impact, although it would probably be easier to get the laws changed than organize that many people.

Wouldn’t that typically be called an enabler?
No, it would be called complying with the system that exists.
Enabling the status quo.
