I don't really see the comparison. Not being a murderer isn't a virtue, it is just normal behavior for 99,9 per cent of the population.

First of all no one declared themselves a virtuous pacifist.

People don't participate in murder and they think others shouldn't either.

People don't participate in wars (which are essentially large scale murder) and they think others shouldn't.

Murder happens anyway. War happens anyway.

Yet if someone says 'war bad' people jump and say 'virtue signaling', but no one does that when people say 'murder bad'.

There's some really weird moral entanglement happening in the minds of people that are so eager to call out virtue signaling.
