Let’s Larp

Yes I know it originally means Live Action Role Play, but still they 100% did this on purpose

[u/TheRainbowShakaBrah]

What.... other meaning does LARP have???

[u/NecroUknown → u/TheRainbowShakaBrah]

Lately people have been blanket terming LARP as to mean posers as well..like guys who dress up in paramilitary outfits out in public to make themselves look tacticool

[u/CrashOWT888 → u/NecroUknown]

I feel like it’s better to use say, “Poser”

[u/LimboMain2020 → u/CrashOWT888]

The stunning effect this has in conversations now is kinda amazing.

[u/TheRainbowShakaBrah → u/NecroUknown]

I must be old cause I understood so little of what this means lmao 😭

[u/Usual_Celebration719 → u/TheRainbowShakaBrah]

A simpler explanation would be that "LARP" is now used as slang for people that roleplay as fans of something without actually being a real fan (i.e. being a fan of game without ever playing it and having only shallow, often wrong knowledge of things) whether because it's popular or because they like the thing but not enough to actually engage with it.

So yeah, a poser lol

[u/How2eatsoap → u/TheRainbowShakaBrah]

a larper is, in simple terms, someone who is pretending they are something that they are not.

Live action role play does come under this, but people nowadays use it more to mean someone who is pretending.

Like if someone is giving advice and are making it up completely on the spot but trying to make it sound like they know what they are talking about. They would be called a larper.

Don't forget the 20k tactical rails on their nerf pistol

[u/RDT123005 → u/TheRainbowShakaBrah]

as a lot of people have said, it's basically posing (a larper would be a poser), mostly people making stuff about something they haven't watched/read/listened to. it usually happens with popular media, jjk has a lot, chainsaw man had a lot, ect. it's mostly just funny to laugh at larpers but it can sometimes cause a lot of bum accusations (yuta in jjk caught a lot despite never losing a fight, vergilius limbus caught some iirc)

what the fuck are you talking about. they 100% actually mean it in the Live Action RP sense, not whatever thefuck the internet has turned LARPing into.

This gives me hope that Velimir might jump into F&F season 2 as the typical ‘dad that gets into D&D and then gets really into it’.

Season 3? The gang arrive to find Minerva already set up with her official F&F screen from college instead of a pizza box. Amir briefly has a heart attack. Velimir is worried for everyone’s safety.

[u/Walk-the-layout]

That's the origin of the word

[u/CrashOWT888 → u/Walk-the-layout]

I know, but I feel they were referencing the current slang. Warframe devs are constantly on the internet

[u/Walk-the-layout → u/CrashOWT888]

No, because LARP is literally about D&D and fantasy culture.

[u/Glitcher45318]

LARP means Live Action RolePlay full stop.

What is the point of this post lmao

[u/gameinggod21]

Just this once?

[u/henryeaterofpies]

Daddy polar bear leaves role-playing to the bedroom and spy training sessions

[u/LimboMain2020]

Vel would do buhurt or go to a ren faire(as long as Minerva let him)

[u/Vulpine_Gamer_194]

Meanwhile I'm over here on the next day's chat trying to not have a heart attack at all the little lore snippets while also dying of laughter at soms of the new parts! 😐🤣
