LARP or LARPing (Live Action Role Playing) originally was an insult that referred to those who liked to put on Medieval costumers and pretend sword fight at Recess. In modern Internet speak, calling someone a LARPer is a way of insulting someone and whatever position they hold. If you call someone a LARPer, you’re saying that they don’t actually care or know about whatever they’re talking about, and are only talking about it to pretend or “role play” as someone who would care. It’s just another way of saying that someone or something shouldn’t be taken seriously at all.
