That is not really what that phrase means though. That phrase refers to people whose neutral facial expression makes them look like someone unfriendly when the person behind it is not. In Vance's case this is not true, his inside is just as ugly as his outside.

No, the phrase doesn't have anything to do with being misleading or not. It just means they look like a shitty, bitchy person on the outside. It may or may not be accurate. It definitely sometimes is not.

"Misleading" does not need to be purposeful.

What you just described is like the textbook definition of "unintentionally misleading."

They didn't say it was purposeful or not, just that it isn't always misleading... Sometimes someone can have RBF and actually be exactly like they look

He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
