r/drama: stop calling text-based bullshit "LARPing"

stop calling text-based bullshit "LARPing"

ok listen up you fucking ignorami, "LARP" stands for LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAY.

LIVE.

ACTION.

for you ESL untouchables, this means something you do in REAL LIFE, like with your ACTUAL, MEAT BODY.

"larping" is the high-effort cardboard-and-foam shit you see at retard rallies. with the unloaded weapons, and the stormtrooper masks and pseudomilitary shit, and the signs that say "KILL KILL KILL." RPing by contrast can be done from the security of your mom's basement.

i'm sick and tired of all you fucks misusing such a noble term so EGREGIOUSLY. if i go on twitter and start pretending like I'm organizing some kinda Black Legion so we can purge all the darkies from the states, that's not larping. if I post on reddit about how I'm training for my one-man Rambo war against the LAPD, it's not larping. if I rant for weeks on my facebook about some third crazy thing? not larping!

for fuck's sake man

Keep Yourself Safe....but unironically

1 snallygaster 2017-09-11

This triggers me too

1 ironicshitpostr 2017-09-11

On a scale of "Don't care" to "Cavs suck", how badly does the misuse of LARPing trigger you?

1 snallygaster 2017-09-11

But you are role playing live action, so it's not real live action. Just sayin

stop LARPing as a seriousposter immediately

1 notaspmmer333 2017-09-11

LARPing = autism + privilege. Only white people can be LARPers.

Oh look, and SRSer pissed that we don't take their bogeyman seriously enough.

And what a shock! These days, this Serious-Agenda Post gets upvoted.

1 giroth 2017-09-11

If you think that's how the fine folks at SRS talk you need to spend some more time over there soaking in the culture

1 grungebot5000 2017-09-11

bogeyman

only two problems with this:

this spelling means you're not an American, and therefore irrelevant to a discussion of our glorious language
what the fuck are you talking about? this is completely incoherent

1 Mabans 2017-09-11

We didn't invent the America language it's a dialect of English.

1 grungebot5000 2017-09-11

americans definitely invented american english. Webster dropped the u's on purpose

1 giroth 2017-09-11

Now this is an autistic rant I can get behind
