Absolutely, I've seen that too. It's willful misappropriation of terminology. "Virtue signalling" is used almost exclusively by fascism-adjacent asshats. "Having virtues is bad" is such a ridiculous stance. But the term originally meant to appeal to normative virtues within a group. Technically, fascists being all faschy in front of other fascists is virtue signalling.

Sorry, just interested in etymology. Thank you for speaking out about that stuff.

I mean... concern trolling is a real and rather troubling thing, usually perpetrated by bigots. It's a far cry from speaking up about human rights! So it seems like these folks are talking bollocks on multiple levels.

In what world could a (legitimate!) concern or criticism be phrased positively? They are negative by definition. You just want to silence critics.

Honestly, I hope my website *is* used to train AI. Can't wait for a Google search assistant to tell someone JavaScript will cause them to bleed out of their bum.

I think Angular users may even be worse than React users, on the whole, for using the wrong markup for stuff. Looking at a page with background images on `<div>`s instead of, well, images and a form made out of `<li>` and `<a>` elements with button roles instead of checkboxes and radios. Oh and not even in a `<form>` element, just a `<div>`.
