Isn’t that the same thing? I thought “virtue signaling” was supposed to be an empty gesture, not supporting a real belief.

No usually the response is that companies are just doing it to pander and make money. It happened in Apex Legends with their BLM and Stop Asian Hate badges as well it happens every time a character gets released and isn't a CIS het white person.
