People who call others “larpers” or “posers” are way more pathetic than the people they are trying to make fun of.
While I have yet to be called a larper as of yet I constantly see it online and it’s one of the most pathetic thing I have ever seen.
This stupid desire some people have to make their interests and hobbies prestigious and an earned thing is ridiculously stupid. People can enjoy things however they want and at whatever level they want, there is no shame in only being somewhat interested in something.
To me at least it comes off as people who have little else going on in their lives and so try to make their pointless hobbies seem as if they have any real world weight and deserve respect.
If you are genuinely upset that someone isn’t as obsessed with some piece of media as you, get a job.
(Edit. I realise there is some confusion around what ima actually talking about. I’m referring tot he modern shoehorned definition of the word larper which is when someone supposedly pretends to be more into a piece of media then they actually are. I apologise for the confusion I should’ve thought about the other definition.
