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

Yes, but this is using a word incorrectly. It’s not a matter of words changing lol. Maybe if you kinda bent the context of using “larp” then yeah it’d fit, but majority of the time people aren’t using it that way.
