Quick post. Stop using the term "LARP" to describe someone faking online. Doing this is retarded and I'll explain why.
There is already a term for this. RP. the "RP" in "LARP" stands for role-play and it's already a thing people do online. Calling infiltrators who pretend to be incels or fakecels who pretend to do shit "RPers" or "RP'rs" or something like that would be much more appropriate.
Why is using "LARP" online retarded? Because the "LA" in "LARP" stands for live action. LIVE ACTION. As in, distinctly NOT ONLINE. The whole fucking reason there's a specific term "LARP" is to distinguish those who are role-playing online from those who are actually outside in the real world acting out a fantasy.
This is what teen girls did to "literally" all over again. Stop using a word for its exact opposite meaning, for the love of fucking god.
