    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
    bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

    I mean we're in a culture where people will argue with red-faced, neck vein-bulging sincerity that slightly complicated attempts to verbalize someone's gender or ethnicity represent an attempt by ... colleges? ... to ... stifle free speech? Which somehow represents a kind of ... cultural erasure? Of white people in general?

    In the past you have stated that you would neither confirming or deny any information.
    Can you confirm that you still hold that position?

    ok, sounds like complaining about virtue signaling is itself a signal of rightwing affiliation at this point.

    I feel like a few years ago this wasn't true, but now I'm not sure....

    The way I look at it is basically this:

    there are absolutely left-liberal people who are hypocritical about this or that, or who employ fuzzy reasoning, or are just unpleasant ooverwrought moralizing scolds. This isn't made-up. It can absolutely be a problem, particularly in real life day-to-day interactions. I have absolutely known people who fell down a hole of trying to find politically-flavored fault in everyone around them until they've built up their own little paranoid Fortress of Solitude to live in and it's not...okay. It's no bueno.

    BUT compared to institutionalized racism or sexism or the fact that people get routinely murdered for certain facts about their biology or sexuality it's not even a blip on the fucking radar and someone who makes a personal crusade out of hunting down leftist hypocrisy or treating dumb tumblr kids like an existential menace gets a serious sideeye from me because they are either cripplingly detached from what actually matters or are actively providing cover to legitimate evil.

    Right, what I was saying is that I thought that a few years ago (several years ago?) I discussed the concept of virtue signaling semi-regularly--maybe in one of these left-eating-the-left critiques of overly enraged tumblr? But I know I also discussed the perspective that virute signaling, is, in fact, useful--it's good to know if the person you're talking to is someone who's going to despise you for your existence as a person or not (and blah blah blah we can talk about performative allyship taking away airspace from marginalized voices but on the other hand, yeah, *do* perform allyship, whether genuinely felt or just trying to establish liberal credentials, in order to create a nice and welcoming environment!) It's also just good to see if people come from the same viewpoint, subculture, etc. Indicating these affiliations helps facilitate discourse.

    But I guess the people discussing it now are mostly rightwing and trying to paint liberal opinions as insincere? w h a t e v e r *teenage eye roll*

    $10 a month to rent games from Gamestop and you get to keep a game after six months. I guess that's a little better than just buying a game outright for $60.

    Virtue Signalling is basically used as a catchall term to imply that anybody who cares about certain policies or issues is only doing so out of a desire to appear morally superior to other people in their crowd, without a genuine belief the issues are real or that solving them would help. Essentially, it is not just an argument that e.g. systemic racism is not a problem, but that the people who say it is don't even believe it and if you do, you're a mark. Or to put it another way, it's trying to paint the entirety of the left as, basically, being equivalent to the kind of memetic, extravagent handwringing you see on probably-fake Tumblr accounts.

    hmmm i think it has the connotation of maybe the strength of the belief being falsely represented. but i have never really thought of it as the belief not having any grounding in the person.

    e.g. people who believe in the horrors of systemic racism but have to be 'loudest' about it on social media for ally points. saying they're virtue signaling isn't necessarily (for me) that they don't believe in what they're pushing. it's that they're pushing it extra hard and loud for head-nods and recognition as woke or w-e.

    Just not the virtues we'd think.

    being forced to play a PF Brawler is probably the bigger sin.

    ITs a cool class, but its definitely one that has a lot of moving parts that's literally requires good system mastery, and not something I'd want to be forced to play if I didn't want to play it.
