I basically have yet to see a use case of the phrase "virtue signalling" out in the wild that wasn't just someone mad that someone else has principles

In response to this postI think the reverse of it, "vice signalling" (basically being a dick about something just to show how much you don't care about it) is a lot more useful phrase

In response to this post@waitworry Before the right got ahold of it and used it to describe "not being a huge piece of shit with no redeeming qualities" it had a similar meaning to "Greenwashing" in that it referred to advertisements that pretended a corporation was doing something good to make more money.
That usage was so short lived that I don't miss it, but I do remember it.
@ikanreed yeah that's basically why i specified "in the wild" because I know there are supposed to be legitimate uses of the term but haven't seen one actually happen yet lol
