The closest definition I can find is anything that deviates from, or has no strong foundation, in your own lived experience. Is this true? If so, does this predetermine people like me to be libtards? Take, for example, my upbringing that was very much deracinated and irreligious (though culturally Christian in the vaguest sense) as a white upper middle class American. I have almost no family outside of my dad and mom, with no IRL community beyond my interpersonal relationships, and throughout my teenage and young adult years I've consistently identified as far right, spending most of my time in Tradcath/Ortho circles online, flirting with Neopaganism on occasion. Meanwhile, most of the girls I've dated/hooked up with (and I'm only interested in other whites), who are also somewhat poorer than me, come from these very large clan-like families and regularly go to church, even if they are self-professed leftists. Does this, by definition, make them infinitely more conservative than I ever will be? This is not meant to veer off topic, but to provide an anecdotal example since I still do not know what "LARP" is supposed to mean. What makes these parasocial identities online less valid than more traditional personal ones, especially in the modern post-internet age?

It's a serious topic and the only threads that would've died are religion flamewar/haploautist/med vs nord slop.

Yes it is live action roleplay, when brown people pretend to be german catholics in order to be taken seriously here, they are live action roleplaying a german catholic instead of honestly debating. You can replace larping with "pretending to be" and it would carry the same load, but larp is a funny word so here we are.

I sometimes LARP as an Indian or Mexican to troll, something easy to make fun of (not on here), but I see it most often being used to denigrate someone's stated beliefs. This is why I gave an anecdote to help better illustrate my question.

Aight, I get it. I think your situation boils down to accusing your opponent of arguing dishonestly (you are merely larping for argument's sake and not a true solipsist or some shit).

>>17966395
I see. That's a fair definition.

Playing video games is a lived experience, watching tv/movies is a lived experience, even "larping" would be a "lived experience". "LARPing" means physically pretending in real life around other people to be something you aren't like a wizard or an astronaut as part of a game, the term exists to differentiate "roleplaying" as in playing tabletop roleplaying games from physically simulated roleplaying games that are acted out in real life, things the term doesn't refer to include playing video games, mental fantasies, watching tv/movies, having political beliefs. The term "larping" gets used as an insult to refer to people who engage with anything fictional whatsoever, including things like reading books, playing video games, watching tv/movies, literally mentally fantasizing about anything in your mind, this isn't what the term actually means obviously, and using it in this way lacks credibility and makes the person using it sound like a spiteful retard, the more credible way that "larping" gets used as an insult is to refer to anything performative, whether that be religious ceremonies or political demonstrations, especially when people use old or dated symbols, or when there might be a genuine lack of belief in the literality of religious narratives, or when there's a disconnect between the performative ceremonies and adherence to religious doctrines.

NTA but you're wrong. It does mean "live action roll playing", and that's how it is used here. You're the only person who doesn't understand.

Your family was molded to be the Nuclear family. This was good for the state (so they thought) because you need immediate family so as not to drain the state but any more family than that is dangerous for the state because you can rely on them instead of the state. They traded your family a bit of economic prosperity for this. Meanwhile the lower class people you're talking about kept thier extended families and are a bit more left because they are poorer and more communal. The women are more left wing because they are women. But more stable and open to long term relationships because of thier family and religion. Nothing out of the ordinary.

It's Live Action Role-Playing, you damn frogposter. Now go back to your little Neopagan online groups.
