A lot of people here, and the original article, don't seem to realize what people that use "LARPing" mean when they say it. It's a disparaging term used to describe when somebody isn't going to actually pursue or follow through on something. Somebody with a bunch of tactical gear that's constantly running shooting drills and talking about joining a war in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, but never actually does, is "LARPing". Somebody that acts like they're getting lots of money and women when they're not, is "LARPing". There's no connection with actual LARPing other than it being the butt of the joke, and anybody saying it about themselves is basically just saying they're a bullshitter trying to pass themselves off as doing something or preparing to do something they never will, which isn't a criminal defense.
