    Alright but the highly superficial act is seen as virtuous. The act we oppose when we use this phrase. That act. It is virtuous. Therefor we in this hypothetical stand against virtue and goodness.

      It generally means that we don’t believe they’d be taking that action if there weren’t a camera rolling or trending hashtag to follow. It’s not criticizing the actual action, but the context around the action.

          We’re agreeing that the individual act is virtuous. You’re not understanding that complaints of virtue signaling are not criticizing the individual act. They’re criticizing the unspoken lack of other acts.
