LARP
Short for Live Action Role Playing. Originally used to describe cosplayers who role-play as their character in a real life setting, the term can also be used to describe someone who takes on a fictional identity online. It’s roleplaying, but rather than roleplaying as a character in a fictional setting with other characters, you are roleplaying as a character in a real setting with real humans who assume you are also a real human, hence role-playing in real-time or “live action ”. The term originated on imageboards but has now become commonplace among communities with a high concentration of attention seeking children such as Discord and Instagram. Many larpers will catfish and some may even use voice changers in Discord Vc to more accurately portray their character. The vast majority of larpers take on ridiculous identities for the sake of trolling and angering the masses, while some others do it to garner attention and clout
