That's a misunderstanding.
(edit)
"Virtue signalling is the conspicuous expression of moral values"
That's the definition on Wikipedia, which I agree with.
(edit 2)
I don't think of it in terms of "right" and "wrong".
- komali2 7y agoSo, what does "virtue signal" mean to you, and why should we care that you're describing someone with it? I.e., why is it "bad?" I'm working off the definition I found on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue_signalling > In recent years, the term has been more commonly used within groups to criticize those who are seen to value the expression of virtue over action.
