when people use larp instead of poser it really grinds my gears. like if you don't like using poser just say performative. it worked for the whole performative male thing. i understand how it probably started getting used, assuming it started with "oh he's live action roleplaying as a metalhead" but i don't know.
Lol. Poser is much nicer word to say and hear. It means exactly what it implies: someone is "posing" as something else. (pretending to be something they're not)
Larping sounds disgusting. :S
It's usually used for bootlickers. Kinda like glazing.
But "larping" sounds like either a very messy way of eating/licking or reminds me of grease. 😭
Let's just keep using the word poser. It's cleaner.
If anyone has a problem with being called a poser, well... it's not that hard to ignore that.
