Manipulative people work hard on being superficially charming. Making people think they are nice and trustworthy is the first step to manipulation. When someone seems too good to be true, it usually is because they are too good to be true.
Back in my competitive smash bros days there were so many cliques like this, bizarre ass community. Lots of people superficially loved them but the minute you start to actually get to know them the manipulation and narcissism became immediately clear. That community fosters so much dogshit tbh
