can passion for a cause be misinterpreted to be anger?
Of course, it depends on the circumstances

can righteous anger be misconstrued?
Yes, it depends on the circumstances

May or may not be, depending on circumstances.

You are reducing human communication, something complex and nuanced, to a binary question without context. Not sure what kind of validation you are looking for, but whatever comes of this thread, it is not going to be particularly valid. Context is always critical
