In many cases, yes, there is a objective answer. Take dexeron's example above - if there's complaints about harassment, and a significant number of people begin asking for a response, but the actual "problem" is a handful of isolated incidents, is it a call for significant action? Logically, we should say no. That's not how "social justice" works, though.
In the cases we cannot come to an objective answer, however, I'm not sure there's ever an appropriate response. Unfortunately, the cries of "do something" are always going to be louder, and no one wants to come across as [insert label here]-ist, so...
