You know “larping” used to not really matter on the internet back in the day. You’d see people on internet forums or YouTube comments with anime profiles, and when people would ask what its from, and theyd respond with, “idk just think looks cool” that was usually the end of it
LARP is one of very few hobbies where almost every single person who does it is doing it solely out of genuine love of the game, it is fundamentally a hobby which requires you to set aside your awkwardness and insecurities to play pretend and have fun with your friends
Not sure how I feel about people throwing around the term “larpers” like this. The humble LARPer just wants to go to the parking lot of a shut-down Kmart to put on robe and wizard hat and cast LIGHTNING BOLT, not this. The term “poser” already exists and is more fitting.
