We think of virtue signaling as just annoying, but this article shows that the people who virtue signal are out there, putting their goofy ideas into practice, affecting mental health services and even policy in the background.
They will do backflips never to admit that sometimes people know the difference between right and wrong and simply choose to do messed up shit.

Teach men not to rape!
Teach pedos not to pedo!
These people are the living definition of the cognitive miser. They have found an easy answer to a difficult problem, it makes them look more loving, more caring than anyone else, and they will stick with it, even if it means letting criminals have their way with someone else's child.
I used to make fun of people who said that they were willing to make the hard decisions. I thought that was just a way of rationalizing their bastardry. Like, they would fire the CEO who was worried about polluting the ground water in a small town, and hire a guy who didn't give a shit, saying they needed a man for the job who was willing to make the hard decisions.
While there are plenty of people out there like that, there are people like this fool who have the opposite problem. They are so terrified of looking like a bad person or risking any sort of criticism, that they do all sorts of damage simply by choosing to make themselves look good at the expense of people who aren't afraid of plain talk, no matter how bad it makes a person look on the surface.
Cowards they are, one and all, and their moral posturing wreaking havoc.
