> Being harassed to virtue-signal
You tell on yourself when you use language that suggests that the people who participate in these discussions and contributions are disingenuous [1].
People are not being harassed to virtue signal. People are being harassed to be explicit about the contents of their character.
Those that refuse or think that the others are being disingenuous are also communicating something.
[1] Virtue signalling is a pejorative neologism for the expression of a disingenuous moral viewpoint with the intent of communicating good character.
- totony 5y agoYou mean that a compelled expression of a view is not disingenuous? Forcing someone to express their support is the definition of disingenuous, because they do not do it out of their own volition. I think virtue-signal is perfectly suitable here. >People are not being harassed to virtue signal. People are being harassed to be explicit about the contents of their character. Whatever way you frame it, it is still harassment and IMO shouldn't be tolerated.
