Absolutely, I've seen that too. It's willful misappropriation of terminology. "Virtue signalling" is used almost exclusively by fascism-adjacent asshats. "Having virtues is bad" is such a ridiculous stance. But the term originally meant to appeal to normative virtues within a group. Technically, fascists being all faschy in front of other fascists is virtue signalling.

Sorry, just interested in etymology. Thank you for speaking out about that stuff.
