In general, I think it makes more sense to consider whether or not someone is acting like a dick separately from whether they're sincere and whether the views they're espousing are correct. And the problem with 'virtue signaling' as a concept is that it conflates those three things in a really frustrating way. It's a tactic to dismiss the entirety of what they're saying.

If you think that someone is acting sanctimonious, just say that, instead of making assumptions about their motivation for doing so, and dismissing the entirety of their statement based on those grounds. That's how I personally happen to see it, anyway.

I mean... if someone scolds me, I'm going to automatically dismiss anything they have to say because scolding is such off-putting behavior. It's one of the most ineffective ways to try to persuade someone.

But sure, I for one will make a point of just calling it "scolding" in the future rather than "virtue-signalling" because I see your point.
