You can tell a poser imitating a kind hearted person from a kind hearted person, since a poser wont pose as kindhearted without also adding something about themselves being badass to their claim of being kindhearted.
The poser would pose as kindhearted when he/she wanted acceptance from the kindhearted folks, and as an asshole when he/she wanted acceptance from assholes.

Get the Posermug. 
Someone who starts claiming to be tough around the edges at some point as an adult, though it's not who he/she is or was as a kid.
The poser kept posing as somebody with a rough edge, even though giving intel (or counter intel) to teacher's and authority figures, and other shit that he/she did as a spy kid was closer to his/her own definition of smooth, always evading trouble for himself/herself while getting everyone else in trouble. Really, the poser's rough edge image was created as a defense to keep people from messing with him/her like they did when he/she was a kid.

Get the Posermug. Guy that thinks he's Leonardo Di Caprio at the bar- TIA, right my brew.
Bartender- No, not TIA, TIO. This is Omaha, I know because I am one of two black guys here. This is not Africa my man. I will not be a poser with you.

"Screw you Poser."
"Screw you asshole. It's spelled Poseur."

Get the Posermug. Someone who dresses Goth, but doesn't pay enough attention to Goth lyrics to understand that to be Goth is to listen to the music, and also to rebel against the mainstream. If you see someone in a Bauhaus shirt, but they are talking like this: "bruh for real. Bro what. Bro says. Bro this, bro that. That's lit. That's fire ", it's a good chance they are a poser.
"Bro, broooooo bro." Bro- a term used by normal people, that is rejected by alternative subcultures. Slang denotes a poser Goth.
