The amount of virtue signalling going on to turn this article into some kind of moral issue is just wild

Petty virtue signalling is very much a curse of social media, even modern discourse.

It is at its worst when used to pile-on a speaker or post for uttering some perceived slight, or daring to suggest an unpopular idea or political view. It is bad for open discourse, even open society, and needs to stop.
