"Virtue signalling may be thought of as a form of moral grandstanding, in which a viewpoint or answer is calculated to "look good", thereby making the object or speaker appear virtuous to others.
Virtue signalling may incorporate some or all elements found in political correctness, self-righteousness, and moral superiority.
…a public act intended to inform others of one's socially acceptable alignment on an issue."
