optics

Usually, in a mainstream or social media context, jargon to describe the way in which an event or process will be perceived. Often used with other political jargon - notably virtual signalling, where the "signal" is intended to generate a specific and ideally positive public association ("good optics").

Shell Exec (1): "We've just made £8 billion in profits from selling super-priced oil, and the northern hemisphere is heating up like crazy. We need to soften the optics. How about we chuck a few million quid at those desperate muppets at British Cycling?! Worth a shot?"
Shell Exec (2): "Blatant virtue signalling - you never fail Hank - I think that could be the most transparent bit of greenwashing in history! But those lycra boys will never buy it..."
British Cycling official: "wow, thanks, guys; we always knew the oil industry was really nice."
