What is a LARP on Twitter?
If you’re new to LARP, you might be wondering what it means. Well, it stands for Live Action Role-Playing. It’s a type of virtual gaming, but there are other meanings within Twitter terminology. Here are some of them:
Cosplay
You’ve probably heard of LARP before, but what is it? It’s a Live Action Role Playing game, and its participants are batshit insane. These gamers play a game in real life while pretending to be other people, such as characters from popular anime or video games. Many LARPers completely let their characters rule their lives, letting it take over their every move. Read also : Is it Rude Not to Follow Back on Twitter?. Other LARPers even indulge in “in game” sex, believing that everything they do in the game is forgiven. They’re typically not intellectually superior, but they may see you as inferior.
LARPing is a form of pretending, with costumes, props, and settings. While LARPs started out as Renaissance fairs, they’ve now become the new psyops. On YouTube, people are claiming to be Truthers, Christians, Social Justice Warriors, and other people. Other LARPers pretend to be government agents or Crisis Actors. In some cases, these players engage in a social media “LARP war” – a game where the participants pretend to be each other.
Loss of control
While external supports promote the sense of agency among users of social media platforms, internal supports may also be helpful. While internal supports empower users to lock themselves out of an experience, external supports can also promote a sense of agency. In practice, users may experience a mix of both internal and external supports, depending on their needs. Read also : How Do I Make a Picture Fit My Twitter Header?.

These include limiting the amount of time that people are able to spend on the social media platform and making sure they have enough control over their accounts.
Harm to non-LARPers
LARPers are harmless to normal people, except when they hurt them physically. If a LARPer is too deluded to see that a non-LARPer is a potential threat, they may put a “hex” on them, and the person may get beaten up. To see also : Is Twitter Good For Artists?.

The most common mistake made by LARPers on Twitter is to call non-LARPs “plebians.” This is especially harmful if the LARPers themselves are not intellectually superior. LARPers also argue about the game rules, the story, or whether it is better to roleplay among friends and enemies. Some LARPers refer to other LARPers as “plebians,” implying that they don’t understand LARPing and cannot handle the language or culture of the game.
