the lance post are not virtue signaling
seen people saying how everyone is virtue signaling by posting about lance. maybe they liked him? and some people say that "on a real message board the mods would have deleted the copy posts and told people to use the first one" hate to break it to you but this not a real message board.

9 RepliesEdited by Avelithe: 3/19/2023 7:27:45 PMAre people… are people [b]seriously[/b] saying posting about Lance’s death is virtue signaling? What the actual crap? I’m honestly floored by that. Hey, y’all. Let people do their thing and mourn in their own way. Be quiet. 👄 🤏

You’re right. They’re farming likes

1 ReplyNever really understood the concept of virtue signaling. Or rather, what the -blam!- problem is. "I did the right thing, I think others should too". The only people who get upset over "virtue signaling" are people who are embarrassed by not having any actual virtues. A person has died. Famous, infamous, anonymous, someone has passed away and that person deserves the same respect you would like people to show when someone you love dies or is injured. He's famous, that makes him undeserving? No. Grow up.

2 Replies... your point? People liked Lance Reddick, he was in numerous TV shows and movies and voiced our beloved Commander Zavala. People can post their appreciation and sorrow anywhere they please and no one will care. Well, maybe except you of course 🙄

21 RepliesEdited by $hirtless Captain Kirk: 3/19/2023 7:55:46 PMIt's virtue signaling 100%. Say a prayer for the family in private. The second you take it public with the 20th thread on the matter, you're virtue signaling. Go ahead and make social media posts as well to farm likes and claim it's not virtue signaling 🫠

Im convinced the forums is filled with 11-13 yr olds.

2 RepliesEdited by Sleep_Leveling: 3/20/2023 1:55:34 AMI don’t think it’s anything but paying their personal respects and tribute to an iconic person that’s been associated with somebody in the game. When Princess Dianna died, you could see the Buckingham Palace gates filled and flooded with flowers. I think that’s what’s happening here. Give them their time and space to grieve. There is a time and a place for everything, and that day was a time to grieve. That’s my two cents. Peace!

1 ReplyI don’t see why it needs to bother anyone. The community was in shock. It has already started to pass.

Edited by jhermannITJ: 3/19/2023 8:34:08 PMWhether it is, or it isn't... doesn't matter. Anthony Jeselnik has a great comedy bit about this.... It's not for Reddick or his family, during a tragedy victims have victim stuff to do... and Lance is dead. "Whether we wanted it or not...." If it's a sincere offer of condolence or just asking for attention, I doubt it's in malice. Human beings do alot of silly things based off sentimentality and social morés.

4 RepliesWhat is virtue signaling?

I first heard him in horizon zero dawn...and yeah i give no -blam!- if someone says something about what i post.

3 RepliesThey are virtue signaling, but it's a good virtue to signal.

1 ReplyYes, they are and so is your post. People could have just commented on the firsts post but they didn't
-
1 Replyyh its sad and he was a good actor. But in the end almost nobody knew him personally. Ppl like to overreact and hypervent just because he was famous, nobody really cares and we all gonna die.
-
More made up words that mean nothing to me. Could care less what it means. It means nothing literally...
-
So it’s okay to spam the forum with the same complaints but not when it’s for someone who passed away of whom everyone liked? Double standards
-
5 RepliesNot virtue signaling but definitely spam. There's hundreds of nearly identical posts and the entire front page was completely filled with the exact same tribute and rip posts. They should've pinned a single post from Bungie and let that be a thread everyone needed to use for tribute.
-
They're not virtue signaling, but they are likely farms for easy likes. I saw the one post, with like 800 likes. It echoes how I feel. It gets a like, and maybe a comment and I move on. No need to make a seperate post saying the exact same thing
-
I'm all for paying respect but the first page was literally spammed with identical posts. Some of it was 100% virtue signalling, otherwise people would have left their well wishes on the top trending post instead of looking for their own notification blow-up

13 RepliesWhat a strange argument for someone to make. What do they expect people to do? Pay their respects before he dies?

Some of them are, some of them aren’t.

This is a place where you can literally get banned for saying things a Kindergarten teacher doesn't punish for. A kid in Kindergarten can say the word stupid, without punishment, if it's just used in frustration and without malicious intent. I on the other hand, will get banned for saying the word stupid.

1 ReplyThis world just keeps getting dumber, maybe because the people "in the know" keep changing what words mean. Virtue signaling means people displaying signs or visuals for things they don't actually care about, such as a rich person wearing ribbons to events, while giving no money or time to anything associated with the ribbons they appear to care about. Just a photo opportunity. Woke in simple terms means that person's desired end result is to be offended by anything or everything, and is always looking for ways to be offended. Maybe not a text book definition, but that is what they are. They say they are woke, because they are so caring about that situation, that they are offended or hurt by it somehow. To someone that will say woke isn't a thing, well about 35% to 40% of the USA is proud to identify as woke.
