I don’t really believe in virtue signaling. It’s something the rightwing made up to say they’re offended without having to say they’re offended.
I do however believe in the practicalities of politics… And yes, sometimes a company is going to have a gay pride month logo everywhere but Saudi Arabia, but that’s a Nationalist problem of culture, not something progressives are causing.
…yet apparently progressives are to blame for most virtue signaling?

No. Like so many things, it’s a real thing that right wing people twist into something it isn’t to fit their narrative or to excuse their own vices.
An example of virtue signaling would be to for example arbitrarily avoid using words that start with an n to showcase how virtuous you are.
An example of the right wing definition of virtue signaling is just…doing anything virtuous. Like when someone is legitimately doing or saying the right things for the right reasons, right wing troglodytes will call THAT virtue signaling.
Examples of real things are usually specific and real instances of those things actually occuring, I notice neither of your examples are (obe is the fiction comedy sketch, the other is just a general description you’ve written).
So I’m going to continue to doubt the existence of “virtue signaling”.
You want a genuine real world example? I’ll give you two.
Remember in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea? Actress AnnaLynne McCord reacted via a textbook virtue signaling poem about being Putin’s mom.
More recently, Nancy Pelosi reacted to all American women losing their constitutional right to bodily autonomy by reciting another poem that did not help anyone and then singing about how beautiful the country is on some stairs with the Washington Voices of Virtue (vote for us) Choir.

And I’m going to cease pretending that you’re receptive to reason and let you be pigheaded at someone else in stead. Have the day you deserve.
Or maybe you just couldn’t come up with a genuine real world example of virtue signaling.
See, that’s the thing about examples they provide substance capable of usurping reason. They’re a way of saying “see for yourself”.
But I get it, you’re frustrating and lashing out, that’s okay. Everyone’s got emotions, and politics is a frustrating topic.
Difficult to do comedy on in an age of saturation (and an election year to boot).
Have a good day.

And now having a go at Pelosi! You couldn’t be more blatant, turf herder.
🤥🥱
And when called out for spreading the AstroTurf, they run away crying about how unreasonable those calling it out are…
ding ding ding ding, that is correct.
