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.
the way i see it, if you say larp instead of poser that makes you a poser </3

“makes me mad as someone who has interacted with actual LARPers, like "live action role play" LARPers, some of the most joyous whimsical people you will ever ...”
@BootlegFriend THIS!!! It makes me so mad to see people use LARP in such a negative context, especially when actual LARPers are just pretending to do something fun, like IRL DnD. Poser isn't a slur so we don't need to adjust language to say that someone is being performative without using the word poser
