In its extended internet-slang sense (beyond the original tabletop/live-action-roleplay meaning): performing an identity, ideology, or lifestyle you don't actually live — someone "LARPing as" a stoic, a minimalist, or a tradwife without genuinely being one.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He posts gym content daily but skips leg day every week, he's LARPing as disciplined."
LORE & ORIGIN
Consolidated as internet slang through the 2020s, borrowing the acronym for Live Action Role Play and applying it metaphorically to anyone performatively acting out an identity for image rather than living it — now a standard way to accuse someone of insincerity or costume-deep commitment to a persona.
