An internet user (usually on tumblr, discord, or reddit) who makes convoluted claims that a group, event, or idea is morally wrong in order to make themselves seem morally right. Most of the times, their methods involve claiming that something completely innocent and irrelevant is bigoted in some elaborate way. They are common in fandom spaces.
"I've been getting so much hate for writing characters X and Y as romantic in my fanfiction because some virtue shark had to accuse me of "perpetuating the belief" that male and female characters can't be friends. That's not even something I said!

Get the Virtue Sharkmug. someone who draws their line in the sand over politically incorrect words; someone who has that liberal arts degree confidence when it comes to dismissing people because they don't fit their schema of a decent human being; you make one joke based on someones erratic behavior and then they use it as a platform or to rant about gender equality, wage gap, or other politics; ultimately the biggest ass sniffer rat that uses social justice and other important issues to inflate their own ego
virtue nazi: hating gays is evil, silencing women is wrong, women deserve more money, at least on equal footing to a mans, black lives matter, and that's why amber heard is innocent because johnny depp was trying to silence her and cover up abuse
me: you don't even have the story straight, are you amber or johnny? quit being such a virtue nazi
virtue nazi: omg i can't even be friends with you because you're supporting abuse and you hate women
me: ???????

Get the virtue simpingmug. A person, usually a white woman, who presents themselves as ultra liberal on social media, self-identifies as a vegan, leftist, feminist (loves labels), usually has lots of tattoos as it is part of their curated woke / progressive / punk-rock identity (costume). These people are very active on IG and are constantly posting and reposting virtue signals to compensate for not knowing who they are or what they stand for, living for affirmations from like-minded friends.
These people are so thirsty for that dopamine rush of a ‘view’ or ‘like’ that they rarely check sources and vet what they’re actually posting, and often repost things that aren’t factual, or in-line with progressive ideology. But do not dare call them out on it. These people will challenge authorities, governments, the police, via Instagram, but if you challenge THEM to be better, they will get flustered, break down, name call, and un-follow you. Mind you, these people are only "activists" online. They almost never participate in real life direct action.
These people tend to pursue careers as social workers or therapists, and are very public about it — also part of their woke ensemble to "do good in the world (because I'm a good person and I need you to know that)". The truth is that they are insecure and immature people who are grasping for identity. They are usually privileged in that they are white and receive financial support from their parents, well past their 20's and 30's.
