Borrowing from Stolen Valour, Stolen Virtue is the behaviour of falsely celebrating yourself as a hero of the culture wars.

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

virtue nazi: omg i can't even be friends with you because you're supporting abuse and you hate women
me: ???????
