The solution of course is to come up with a new word for "virtue signaling" that doesn't give people that repulsion reaction.

I have to say though, when I see people using popular buzzwords, it shows me they're not really thinking and are just LLM-like regurgitating what they've been exposed to.

They used to call those “NPC:s”, but I believe that this term has fallen out of favor.

NPC was derogatory from the start though. It should be descriptive without implying (or always being used as) judgement.
