I don't play video games so can somebody explain exactly what a "live action role player (LARP)" is?

I don't know what is meant by that. That term just makes no sense to me whatsover.

“Live Action Role Play. A LARPer is someone pretending to be something they’re really not.

In the 70’s and 80’s LARPs were people dressing up like dungeons and dragons for Renaissance Fair. Since the dawn of YouTube and social media, LARPs are the new psyops. People LARP on YouTube as Truthers, Christians, Social Justice Warriors, and civilians.”

In the Qanon sense, the LARP is said to be pretending to be somebodies within POTUS circle. As a LARP, they are not somebodies within POTUS circle.

In Qanon world, critics such as the author of the NBC article mash remarks from followers with remarks from Q, and attribute every nutty thought expressed to "Q." It would be like attributing every remark in this thread to me.

Quite an interesting phenomenon though. Quite durable. Like any other controversial set of material, a mix of reliable fact and reliable fiction! Up to the reader to sort it out.

I don’t play them either. I understand it refers to people assuming roles in online games such as Dungeons and Dragons (only more up to date). Basically, it’s some pimply kid sitting in mom’s basement playing games.
