I would think that virtue signaling is good. It sure sounds good.

"Virtue" means " Moral excellence and righteousness; goodness."

"Signaling" means "An indicator, such as a gesture or colored light, that serves as a means of communication."

So, basically if I'm morally excellent and I communicate that to you, that's a bad thing? Why is that? Is it because it makes you feel bad?

Same question about "woke". Like, "not asleep"? How is that bad?

I just feel like these terms are thoughtlessly bandied about. They're never really defined. They actually don't sound bad, but they're used in a pejorative context. It's just really strange.

Virtue signalling does not mean you have virtue. Just that you are attempting to signal to others that you do have virtue.
