The other side of the coin to virtue signalling; rather than angling for praise by performatively proclaiming their support for certain causes, vice signalling involves attempting to show off their good person credentials by performatively approving of harm or other bad things that have befallen others.
Like virtue signalling, vice signalling is a largely tribal act; a way for the speaker to associate themselves with certain other groups, causes or ideals. Also like virtue signalling, vice signalling is a means of doing this without actually showing any follow-through or doing anything tangible for the cause it apparently supports; much like adding a filter to your Facebook profile to support Group X doesn't actually accomplish anything, tweeting your support for violence against Group Y serves to gain edgy clout without actually taking any meaningful action. Finally and also like virtue signalling, it is not so much the morals behind it as the smug and performative nature of vice signalling that make it irritating: a reasonable person might for instance agree that at times, the use of force has been necessary to stop people from committing terrible acts, but when someone makes a great deal of effort to be seen revelling in physical harm done to someone else however necessary it may have been, it ceases to be about the morals and becomes instead an exercise of preachy autofellatio.

Steve never fails to post on Reddit about how great it is every time some celebrity he doesn't like dies. A classic case of vice signalling.

a guy or gurl who is so tight there pussy or ass..or mouth, reminds you of a vice grip. they also might have the qualities of a nice, smooth person, who is really laid back all the time, they remind you of the season autumn, or fall.
patton: lastnight i had my fingers in a girl, and she was so tight, she was defiantly an autumn vice.
frankie: dude, your so lucky. the other night i had anal with mike and his ass was an autumn vice.
