To put on airs of being concerned about a social issue solely with the intent of flaunting your morals to the world.
Putting "BLM" in your Twitter bio does nothing to help people actually affected by such issues. It is mere virtue signaling.

Pandering to SJWs with insincere, yet sufficiently "moral", behavior
Joker (2019) was virtue signaling by casting black women in highly generic, though clearly negative, roles.
A bigoted preacher using inclusive pronouns is virtue signaling for the soundbite audience.

Publically maintaining a popular position or ideology purely as a means of self-advancement, comfortable in the knowledge that actually demonstrating commitment to it is highly improbable.
So Mr Senator(R), you gonna vote for the $2,000 per person COVID relief Bill?
Why yes I surely am. The American people are in the throes of desperation; we need to do EVERYTHING we can!
Too bad Leader Mitch won't bring it up for a vote, eh?
Why yes it surely is. The fact that we won't be voting on that proposition makes me want to support it even more!
Is there anything else you'd like to virtue signal to your constituents while you're here?

A person, usually a white woman, who presents themselves as ultra liberal on social media, self-identifies as a vegan, leftist, feminist (loves labels), usually has lots of tattoos as it is part of their curated woke / progressive / punk-rock identity (costume). These people are very active on IG and are constantly posting and reposting virtue signals to compensate for not knowing who they are or what they stand for, living for affirmations from like-minded friends.
These people are so thirsty for that dopamine rush of a ‘view’ or ‘like’ that they rarely check sources and vet what they’re actually posting, and often repost things that aren’t factual, or in-line with progressive ideology. But do not dare call them out on it. These people will challenge authorities, governments, the police, via Instagram, but if you challenge THEM to be better, they will get flustered, break down, name call, and un-follow you. Mind you, these people are only "activists" online. They almost never participate in real life direct action.
These people tend to pursue careers as social workers or therapists, and are very public about it — also part of their woke ensemble to "do good in the world (because I'm a good person and I need you to know that)". The truth is that they are insecure and immature people who are grasping for identity. They are usually privileged in that they are white and receive financial support from their parents, well past their 20's and 30's.
Oh boy, another Virtue Signal Sarah (VSS) re-posting more Black Lives Matters content than all my Black friends combined.

Something conservatives accuse liberals of doing any time they show any virtue at all.
This person told me I should be nice to gay people, I'm so sick of this virtue signaling!
