This is just a lazy buzzword you can use to shut down other peoples opinions without having to actually engage with them.

It's just "virtue signalling", it's just "PC gone mad", it's just "cancel culture", they're just "crazy SJWs". Notice how none of these things actually have any substance, they're just a way to dismiss someone else and walk away feeling like you've won a pointless argument.

Post something substantial or don't post at all.

It can be used that way, but it isn't just that. You could say the same about the word "racist", "TERF", or "transphobe".

I notice substance to these claims all the time (as well as non-substantial ones).

People to whom these words accurately apply have a stake as dismissing them though.

It is a way to dismiss someone. Doesn't make it unsubstantial. It's akin to saying "he just wants attention."
