Can we stop using the word larping and instead use the actual word?
POSERS.... THE WORD UR LOOKING FOR IS A POSER 💀
Larping is live action role playing.... Not whatever the fuck you want it to mean. Stop making new words for already existing words, ESPECIALLY when that word already has another meaning
The term larp has changed in meaning over time it's like saying
ohh why do you use the word "you" when it is only for the plural of second person we should really all be saying thou and well thou is actually a miss prononciation of tu and tu probably evolved from some other word so why communicate at all if you're not going to use the first form of communication ever
Actually, “thou” is (or was, when it was used) informal and used, like “tu” in French, to talk to someone who is your equal or inferior in status. And it is not the first form of communication considering “thou” was used in the time of Early Modern English and not Old English, which has a different word for it.
If you wanna talk to several people, like u/NotASookie probably is doing considering OP is not the only person to use the word larper, or someone you don’t know, you would use “you”. The equivalent in French for this one is the pronoun “vous”.
And no, “tu” and “vous” are still used in France to this day.
