'Running a train' is when a series of individuals fucks the same person in succession (if doing so simultaneously, that's a gangbang). LARP = Live Action Role-Playing but the term is being used here to mean 'staged thing in general' which is not standard usage and pretty weird. Some fellas in robes playing Star Wars with sticks as lightsabers would be a more accurate example of LARP. Renn faires also if people keep in-character.
LARP has taken on a new meaning in younger generations where it means that someone is just doing something in a way that's performative i.e. they're being a poser
Which is arguably the opposite of the old meaning (since the people LARPing tend to be dead serious about it, and usually not doing it for clout or what have you). But language is a fluid thing, very interesting.
LARPing started to be used for the guys dressed in Tacticool who thought they were being dead serious but everyone else acknowledged they were huge posers and not the badasses they percieved themselves to be. From there, usage really expanded.
Nobody casually pushes their breasts up with this much heavy makeup. Having known a fair number of goth girls: there's definitely a difference between casual gothing and dialing up the thirst trap to maximum. If we're being generous, these ladies are going all out to leave a first impression; if we're being realistic, this is softcore porn.
I don't know the source, but it honestly would be hilariously wholesome if it wasn't just a throwaway joke, and she segued that into an excuse to geek out about her collection of model trains.
It's 100% that. Most of their content is just videos with them throwing themselves at guys while the guys talk about how awful it is. The whole schtick is just to get people to comment on it, which spreads the video around.
I wonder if the guys are also in on the whole thing. Like they signed up knowing it is dumb/just for social media engagement. I guess this is better than actually doing dumb shit to people in public without their consent
Oh it's absolutely scripted on both ends. If nothing else, imagine some random guy being approached on the street by a 10/10 goth girl with cleavage down to her belly button and the guy responding like he's bored or annoyed by it.
They are. There was a thread on Reddit that was posting the people's social media accounts (mainly for people looking for the porn that the women were posting) and basically everyone on that show is already dating someone else or already married.
My guy, the dudes are in on the bit too. They aren't there thinking they will get to date any of these women - they're there to make a video for engagement.
It's not obvious that her post was in direct response to his video, it seems like it was someone else asking. But even then she seemed to acknowledge that it wasn't a universally lauded model train, but clarified that it was special to her for particular reasons. She may not disagree that it was valid to call it "mid". I think most collectors have a piece that they know is nothing special in general but has extra value to them. I certainly do
I looked through the post and she commented a bunch talking about her collection and why this specific train is so special to her. Its one of the most wholesome things I've seen in a whole Cheered me up a bit today
It's definitely a safe bet most of the time. Whether you should invest the energy to investigate further or not just depends on the stakes at hand. If you're trying to hire or date a person you need to at least read the back cover blurb, flip around a little inside, read some reviews if possible. If you just making a snap decision about interaction on the subway, judge by the cover.

What is larp and is there some kind of word play regarding "running trains" that I dont get?
ElbowDeepInAGoblin
'Running a train' is when a series of individuals fucks the same person in succession (if doing so simultaneously, that's a gangbang). LARP = Live Action Role-Playing but the term is being used here to mean 'staged thing in general' which is not standard usage and pretty weird. Some fellas in robes playing Star Wars with sticks as lightsabers would be a more accurate example of LARP. Renn faires also if people keep in-character.
