[THE LARPERS]
★ PEOPLE WHO PRETEND
You know who you are.
Talking about a game you've never played.
"Oh yeah, I LOVE that anime"
But you've never watched a single episode.
You know the character's name?
Can you name 3 episodes?
No? Then shut up.
★ THE TIKTOK LARPER PROBLEM
Monster is a great example.
Johan is my favorite villain!
But you can't name 3 things he did.
The tiktok larperization of media
makes me physically ill.
Stop pretending. It's embarrassing.
★ "I PLAYED THAT GAME"
Sure you did.
How far did you get?
What was your favorite part?
Oh, you watched it on YouTube?
That's not the same thing.
Experience the media yourself.
Don't just hop on the trend.
★ JUST GROW UP
Actually enjoy the media you're
talking about.
Play the games. Watch the shows.
Read the books.
Then we can talk.
Until then? You're just noise.
[GENUINE FANS ONLY]
If you've experienced it, you're welcome.
If you haven't? Don't fake it.
It's obvious when you do.
