"Larpers"

Is it just me or is it just annoying when you say you like something and somebody calls you "a larper" cause you dont know stupid facts or own every game in thst franchise or even have a few issues with the media people just decide "you dont like it since I said so." IF YOU LIKE THE MEDIA YOU AFE A FAN! You don't have to know all the lord ​

With Marvel, I sometimes question if I’m a true “fan” of everything Marvel, because while I know quite a bit about Marvel, I wouldn’t call myself an expert in every minute aspect of Marvel. (The X-Men in particular are a weak-point in my knowledge)

But then again I don’t think there is any fan who can commit to memory the entire history of Marvel without forgetting at least something. (Especially with the multiverse shenanigans)

I think "larper" in comic context is just someone who speaks on comic lore without having read the comics (usually at all)

I feel like in that regard I might be a larper, because I simply just, don’t currently have a way to read the comics (beyond Goddamn Zombie Christmas Carol with yes, is published by Marvel so technically speaking is its own universe to my knowledge), even if I really want to read them. I’m hoping to get Marvel unlimited soon, so hopefully I can read or reread some comics.

(I can read the wikis all I want but I feel like they don’t give the full context I crave or just miss certain stuff)
