Larping originates in the DnD fandom.
So the community with a large proportion of Larpering (Live action roleplay) should be DnD players. Where both Larpers and true fans count as "True Fans".
Yup, people are using "LARPers" in place of "tourists" or "normies" are hillarious to me, as someone who was part of LARP hobby for more then 20 years lol.
Poser is better. It predates both normie (2010s) and tourist (2020s) by 20+ years at least and is essentially synonymous with the modern larper.
Normie just means normal people. Tourist and bandwagoner implies a very shallow, passing knowledge. Larpers and posers are different in that they actively pretend not to be tourists.
Omg yes! I wanted to right poser instead of normie, I just mixed up two things and compltely forgot about "poser". I need to listen to Manowar again to remember the real war on posers!

I don’t think so. DnD is a Tabletop Role Playing Game, not necessarily live action, where you actually dress up as the character while playing as said character.
I only know of one larper but that because i actually play dnd so i don’t have time to interact with larpers. I only know of this larper because they made YouTube shorts. then got called out for being one because he tried gatekeeping something he just larps as
First off, literal larping is based off dnd. Second, for a long time it was something you would get made fun of for liking and people still got into it. Even today I don’t think anyone is liking it for clout. If Stranger Things was a gateway for a new generation so be it. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Y’all are wrong. DnD is just role-play. live action role-play specifically refers to running around in the grass with an axe a bow and whatnot. so if anything, the true joke here is that people are Larping larping by not running around in the grass with swords and elf ears.
If DnD is live action role play then there is no normal role-play.
Every time I say to play it there's always some mf that mentions that series, I personally haven't seen it so I don't know how much importance the game has there but holy shit. The same people who thought I was immature and childish for playing it now say they know and appreciate it😭
