A deliberate state of operating where someone goes all-in on optimizing camera angles, lighting, and poses to present the most deceptively flattering version of themselves online. Often used self-deprecatingly or as a call-out when someone is clearly posing with maximum strategic intent.
Someone who consistently deceives others about their physical appearance by posting only carefully chosen angles, lighting setups, and poses that create a misleading impression.

The detectable vibe given off by someone who is clearly putting excessive effort into controlling how they appear — obsessively positioning themselves for photos, always finding the flattering side, or nervously avoiding candid shots. Can be used as mild shade or affectionate teasing.

anglefraud means: A self-portrait photograph taken from a favourable angle in order to conceal or mitigate a perceived negative physical characteristic.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing.
