According2Sam #135 'LARPS'

LARPing is not a new phenomenon, but the term LARP is relatively new. LARP was included with another 370 words that were just added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary to update and modernize our vocabulary. The word LARP is an acronym that means Live Action Role Play. It simply means to dress and play make believe. Again, there is nothing new about dressing up and playing make believe, but the phenomenon has become so widespread that it has not only been given a name, the name has now become a part of our vocabulary. There are many different types of LARPS. Some like to dress up as vikings and make believe they are fighting a viking war. Some like to dress up as soldiers from the Civil War and reenact the battles. Some even dress as elves and goblins, and pretend they are in a fictional middle-earth. It's all fun and games for the LARPS, but no one takes LARPing as seriously as the Social Justice LARPS. These are the people who pretend to be activists for justice, but in actuality they couldn't careless about real justice. How can you recognize Social Justice LARPS, and why are there so many of them in our society today? Join the conversation and get answers to this question and more on According2Sam episode #135.
