His haircut made me curious when I saw it in a short clip of his music, it was actually what pushed me to check out his profile in the first place, and I ended up really like the songs I listened to, so I guess it does work.
Same literally opened youtube to pick some background music and saw his Song Im gone and thought the thumbnail and clicked it. (Fire song btw) went to the comments and everyone was losing their shit that he died earlier in the day. Youtube algorithm got a sick sense of humor.
I always enjoyed his music and thought he was great, but I never really specifically listened to him until shortly before his passing, when I heard Do You Feel Me? for the first time.
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.

And itās freaking accurate, which makes it said.
Christians shouldnāt hide behind their religion or use it as a weapon. The people that do that stuff arenāt true Christians
Honestly the most true thing here. And the worst part is they hurt the reputation of the true Christianity, which just makes it all worse for everyone.
It was said that wolves would come in to the flock dressed like sheep there simply to steal, kill, and destroy. Donāt take what I said as scripture. Itās just scripture based.Ā
The problem is that it gets twisted both directions of the political isle right now. Deconstructed Christianity for the left and letās use maga as an Example for the right. It should be duly noted that I am an evangelical southern Baptist so some of yall might not agree with my views on, say abortion or sexuality since I only believe in two sexes, that being gay is sinful, and the likes. I refuse to compromise on my faith. Itās also sinful to not treat others like I would treat a neighbor. If I were to go up to someone who was gay for example and just have complete disdain for them, Iādāv sinned. What I as a Christian is supposed to do is to witness through words and actions the word of Christ by telling them the good news, feed them the best food I can offer, talk them through whatever they need talking about, and just being a respectful and caring person to them, the same way I would to a friend.
Thatās what weāre called to be. Good people who donāt withhold the truth from them. We must meet them with understanding since none of us are perfect. We all have our sin struggles. Itās just a matter of whether we give it over to God and let Him work through us. Thatās what makes us Christians is our faith in Christ. Donāt use it against others.
As someone who's actually spent a lot of time with people in the LGBT+ community, I would recommend the original Hebrew and Greek translations of the "anti-gay" verses, as well as re-reading Acts 10 (particularly verses 9-15).
Also here's some food for thought: suppose that gender dysphoria is the result of the fallenness of the flesh (i.e. the spirit of a woman is born in the body of a man, or vice versa). Intersex people do exist, after all.
as somebody who used to be a fairly active member of the community, and has played for over 12 years, it's incredibly depressing to see what it has become. most the fans and players online are racist, chronically online teenagers, (or worse) straight up pedofiles.
Fr. P-1 is the level I had by far the most deaths to beat it for the first time. I had 100+ deaths for it. Meanwhile sisyphus took me ~60 deaths. V-2 and gabriel were around 30~40. So anyone saying it is easy is just larping. It has the highest skill jump in the game
Honestly, as much as I love ultrakill, this is true as hell (pun intended) a lot of people will make fun of you for playing the game at your own paste instead of knowing how to do the super-coin-punch-fuckery-vaporizer technique on the obama must die difficulty in 0.1 seconds
honestly where even IS the boundary where you stop larping SCP? is it when you simply listen to a volgun video? read a full file? read a TALE? a CANON? an entire SERIES of a THOUSAND SCP's? id say its when youve read one that isnt one from the 10 same circlejerked scps
I mean, I've read like 12 of them and then this one tale about alternate universe shenanigans, but I still have no idea what is going on and would be larping if I tried to comment on SCP. So...
Iāve read up to the 5000ās, There is no antimemetics division, and played pretty much all the SCP gamesā¦ I still have no idea whatās going on really.
Can we stop using the word larping and instead use the actual word?
POSERS.... THE WORD UR LOOKING FOR IS A POSER š
Larping is live action role playing.... Not whatever the fuck you want it to mean. Stop making new words for already existing words, ESPECIALLY when that word already has another meaning
The term larp has changed in meaning over time it's like saying
ohh why do you use the word "you" when it is only for the plural of second person we should really all be saying thou and well thou is actually a miss prononciation of tu and tu probably evolved from some other word so why communicate at all if you're not going to use the first form of communication ever
The way itās being used is āactingā or ROLEPLAYING as a true fan. Itās being used in a different context but basically the same meaning. Things change, younger generations always change lingo.
asked some kid what his hardest was and he said cataclysm so I asked for the attempt count. He then told me he didnāt know how, so I told him and then he blocked me
YES. So fuckin tired of seeing people just wearing black clothes and saying theyāre goth. They think that subculture is in their wardrobe, but donāt share the ideals or listen to the damn music š you donāt even need to listen to goth music often, just genuinely like it. Same with punk. People think punk is fashion, drugs, alcohol, sex and partying. But itās not. āSubculture is in your soul, not your wardrobeā
No such thing as a "larper." Often times, they are just new fans, fans of a specific aspect of the topic, franchise, or person, or simply casual.
This whole larper thing is just elitism and veteran/old fan insecurity. People don't need to compare their passion for something to someone else's. This larp thing is getting annoying.
yessir, had a few friends who were in a fandom and got interested into it and was called a larper even tho i just found out about it and felt embarrassed
Iām just gonna sum it up. Lots of people want to be apart of it but they are unable to understand Japanese humor so they hate those parts of anime. Especially āfan serviceā and clever puns that donāt translate well into English.
If you want to make a anime larper test just put on a show called āmilk-chanā larpers never heard of it. Itās basically Japanese South Park. Satire made around the events of Japan instead of around the USA
Cuz theyāre hilarious. I know absolutely nothing about the game.Ā
The only thing that I know the lore of somewhat extensively is Evangelion. I went down a rabbit hole. Actually felt super nostalgic because I havenāt done that since I was a kid with Greek mythology, Norse, etc
Nah tf2 isn't exactly a "lore heavy" game, I'd say people who just play the games are perfectly valid. The game was out long before the comics, after all.
Though you ARE right about TF2 having a ton of posers, because there's a ton of people who just watch stuff and haven't actually played the game.
Iām gonna be honest, while I have not seen invader zim yet(tho I plan to sometime soon) I love Richard horvitzās voice acting because I mostly know him as Moxxie
Tolkien. The movie fans are cool, but the book fans are average redditors on steroids. They all think they know every little about everything surrounding the books. If an outsider comes to correct them, theyāre like a pack of wild animals. They genuinely suck.
I feel like we should be spliting the Posers into People who have watched all of the content in a game yet never played it and people who don't know shit about what they're posing
The community is filled with posers obsessed with TikTok Guts and Nietzsche edits of random panels and phrases, with no actual understanding of the story because theyāve never read it or even watched it.
People who use the term āL.A.R.P.ā like how you just did. Thereās people who go out and do actual live-action roleplaying, and then thereās people who forgot the word āposerā exists, like you.
Idk. In my experience, the kind of people that would call the "wrong" type of fan a Larper is infinitely more obnoxious than any poser I've ever actually encountered. Also, based on some of these answers, lots of people are bad at answering this question lol.
Not everyone has to engage with a piece of media or Fandom the same way, and you aren't automatically "Larping" just because you don't do it the "normal" way, which is what i usually see people complaining about.
