It's not virtue signalling if you actually agree with the virtue. It's just expression.

Disagree. How can you help but to express deeply held intuitions? They are part of you. That doesn't mean that you cannot be aware and sensitive to the fact that others also have deeply held intuitions, and try to work with that in good faith.
-
how about this: "it's not crime if you believe your actions are justified" see the problem? some things are defined by society, not by self.
-
That's a good example. I agree. But saying that is also not virtue signalling last I checked.
-
virtue signaling is a jargonized term at this point. it has a more specific meaning than you are pointing to. it's a type of politically aligning, tribe-seeking, approval-seeking behavior. many things are mislabeled as virtue signaling when they really aren't.
-
Totally agree. Lots of conflation these days.

expression is important as well but is contextually different from signaling behavior. expression is something you do to communicate your interior states so that others might not you better. signaling is something you do because you want others to reward you for agreeing.
-
I don't disagree. But people seem to lump both together these days.
