Yep. Another objection is that ‘virtue’ is used kinda ironically in this context; the intended meaning is something like “tribal loyalty signaling”. Okay, from the perspective of the tribe, loyalty is a virtue, but from the perspective of the person who accuses others of “virtue signaling” it is more like “you may believe that you are signaling that you are a good person, but actually you are signaling that you are a sheep/fanatic”.
