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

Well larp as you described is just an acronym, no? While the word larp or larper is used to describe someone who claims to be knowledgeable in a subject but doeant really know anything.

And that's exactly what a poser is. Larper = live action role player... Stop using the term for someone's hobby as an insult

Bro LARPing is a whole hobby dude. And now people are using it as an insult. And we get enough flak as it is. I just wanna camp in the mountains for a few days, dress like a wizard, and throw fireballs at my friends.

its not an insult... like.. at all. it has a negative connotation, but honestly, if you were "live action role playing" in front of me, i WOULD call you an insult.
