> but if it is then I would also say that not all virtue signalling is bad. Well, sure, I wouldn't say "virtue signaling" is "bad". Just that on a scale of 0-10 of virtuosity, it's like a 2 (but not negative, i.e. unvirtuous). I usually see it in the context of "this is just virtue signaling", meaning it's only a 2, while the accused is maybe acting like they're doing something more of a 5. Like, I see it more as calling out someone for being a little pompous, not insincere. I've never accused anyone of virtue signaling or been accused, just seen it thrown around from time to time, so maybe my understanding of its meaning is different from yours. I see now in the article that the definition they're using is more aligned with yours, so maybe I'm the odd one out here. I'll have to pay attention the next time I see it "in the wild".
