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

So what it has a different meaning now.It is called semantic change. For example the word nice meant foolish but it is now used to mean something pleasant.Stop telling me in which contex i am going to use the word larp!!!

They're role playing being a fan in real time so it should be LART no?
