What does LARP stand for? ... old man asking

Live Action Role Playing. Effectively an actor, usually hired, to pretend to be someone, but instead of playing in a movie or theater, they’re inserted into real-life events. For instance the majority of the provocateurs for the Capital riots were very likely payed to pretend to be conservatives, but with the intent of creating an altercation.

Civil War re-enactors are could be considered LARP

In the case of “Q”, they’re “Role Playing” via the internet.
