Meta LARP
noun
When someone performs a belief, identity, or expertise while openly acknowledging that it’s performative, and uses that acknowledgment as insulation from critique instead of engaging or committing.
Not the same as meta irony:
Meta LARP is about avoiding commitment or accountability by leaning on the shared awareness between the one writing it and the one reading it.
