0:01 [groaning] >> He's really getting his ass beat. He's He's always been a useless chud. A chud, you say? Roly, these two niggers larp on Zelig. Larp on Zelig. Ah, larpers. This is a great video subject. Why do people larp? There are a lot of facets to the psychology of larpers. Why do they do it? What gets them to do it? What's the gratification they get from larping pieces of media? The chronically online definition of larping is basically pretending you like a game or an anime or whatever, but you
0:49 never actually got through it. You never sat down and played the fucking game. You never watched a hundred fucking episodes of Bleach. You never did any of that. You just like the feeling of being a fan without actually being a fan. In the real world, larping is actually an acronym and it means live action role playing. Basically, you know those people they pretend to be medieval knights and they like fucking fight each other on the horses. I probably have a clip on screen showing it. That's what larping is in real life. They pretend to be medieval knights without actually killing each other or fucking living in poverty and shit. But, they're actually doing something. In this case, they're
1:35 actually doing an activity. Larpers on the internet aren't doing anything at all. Imagine one of your friends. He says, "Oh, I like reading books." But, you know he's full of shit. He doesn't read anything. You're going to call him out on that. Well, it's the same for people who say they're fans of fucking video games, but they don't play any fucking games. For example, Resident Evil 9 just came out and oh my god, Leon Kennedy. Oh, I've seen the TikTok edits of this. Oh, I want to I want to be a Resident Evil fan now. Oh, but I don't want to play a video game. I don't want to sit through a fucking game and play. Oh, I know. I'm going to watch an iceberg video and watch a let's play. And now I'm going to change my profile
2:21 picture on all my social medias to Leon Kennedy. Wow, so now I can have conversations about it with other people online. And that's what these people do it for. It's just online. It's only on the internet you'll find this kind of person. You're not going to see some guy at your school with a fucking Black Souls pencil case. But, you will however see a true wearing a digital circus backpack. And the only thing those people are larping is their gender. There he is, the king of the larps. And get the fuck out of my store. The main personality trait of any larp is that they're lazy. They love their dopamine. Oh, their Instagram reels, their TikToks. Oh, they love frying
3:08 their brains on that shit. And sometimes they'll come across an edit or a meme of some niche piece of media with a lot of views. And that's going to get them interested. Oh man, what's this Danganronpa shit all about? All these people are talking to each other about Danganronpa. I want to talk to them about this, too. So, then they're going to go watch a couple video essays on YouTube, have them in the background while they're scrolling, and boom, they're a Danganronpa fan now. That's all it takes nowadays. And it's always for some bullshit like, "I'm not really interested in the gameplay, but the characters are so cool." Well, then you don't fucking like it. Simple as that. It's a fucking video game. It's meant to be played. And it's not just games. I
3:53 imagine by the time this video is released the first few episodes of Steel Ball Run have come out and I guarantee a lot of people are watching it without having even seen the previous six parts. And these larps aren't doing this because they just happen to be fucking mesmerized by all the trailers and promotional uh shit for the new part that's coming out. No, it's not that. It's because other people gas up Steel Ball Run so fucking much. It's the highest rated manga of all time or I think the second highest rated. Berserk is number one. And it's the best part in all of JoJo. And these people, these posers, they want to do that, too. They want to say it's the highest rated ever.
4:40 They want to know why. So, they don't care about JoJo's. They just care about the popular part of JoJo's. And a fun fact, I got into JoJo's because I thought Hermes was hot. But, when I got to part six, I ended up liking Foo Fighters more. All this shit goes way back to the whole anime tourist stuff from a couple years ago. But, at least those people actually watched their fucking slop. Nowadays, you can't even get a nigger to sit through a 20 episode show. And if by some miracle they actually do give it a chance, but then they end up not liking it, well there's a possibility for them to still fucking larp it because they want to be included in social circles and shit.
5:28 Uh, Made in Abyss is too boring. I think I'm going to drop it. But, my online friends like it. Uh, well I need validation. Shit. What do I do? I know. I'm going to larp it. I'm going to go on Pinterest and get an image of Michael. >> T, this is not okay what you're doing. You did not watch Made in Abyss. You can't just be dropping images and shit. >> What's the problem, Michael? Everybody else does it. >> No, Trevor. It's wrong. You look like a fucking poser. >> Now, fuck you, Michael. Let people enjoy things how they want. Besides, I watched a video essay. I'm practically a fan now. >> You miserable larp. Franklin, what do you have to say about this? Shit. My
6:15 favorite show is on. Welcome to is this a larp or not. Watching Steel Ball Run before any other part, is it a larp or not? Larp. Jacking off to Lady Devil May Cry without having played any Devil May Cry, larp. Saying Fear and Hunger and Black Souls would be better without rape, a larp. Downloading on Zelig Aryan edits and never watching the show, another larp. It's only 20 fucking minutes. Boom. You are a larp. You are a larp. But, at the end of the day, we really do need to take accountability. We all have a little bit of larp inside of all of us. When we were all kids, you know, we had our
7:01 iPads and shit. We all watched let's plays and we didn't have the games. A lot of times I watched a let's play and I didn't actually have the game, but I still considered myself I still thought I liked the game even though I never actually fucking touched it. But, that's the thing. As a kid, when you're a kid, you don't really have the autonomy to pick whatever you want, to play whatever you want. You only have whatever your parents get you. When you get older, that excuse goes away. And all larps are fucking 22-year-olds on Reddit and Twitter who pretend all of them cry and whine about, "Oh, I don't have access to this game. I can't play it." But, there's fucking emulation first of all. You can emulate the whole
7:47 PS1, PS2, PS3 catalog and even PS4 emulations on its way. So, there's no excuse for that. And if it's about the game being too expensive and oh, not everyone has the money, then I think now's not the time to be worrying about a video game. Now's the time to worry about getting money, my friend. Spending all your time making excuses on social media to people who don't even fucking know you, who don't even give a shit about you, is not the best way to be spending your time if you're low on money. But, that's just me. I don't think this video is going to change the mind of any poser. You know, they're just going to keep on larping. You know the website Letterboxd for like movies to make reviews and shit. There's actually a gaming version called Backlogged. And the website added an
8:34 option to if you want to log the game, you can specify that you just watched it and it still counts. That's insane. That's like saying, "Oh yeah, I read a book." But, all you did was just read the fucking summary on the back. I actually even saw a promotional poster from Netflix for JoJo's part seven where they say that it's okay if you didn't watch the other parts, you can just watch this one. These companies, man, they're encouraging the larp. They're creating more and more goyim by the day. So, congratulations if you watched the whole video, you are a true edge kino enjoyer. So, like and subscribe. It would motivate me to make more shit like this and God bless.
