Quoted By:
I think people make the conquistador LARP into a race thing, which it is to a certain extent, but I think it's more a product of the tradcath LARP. As christianity is on the decline in the west, and is beginning to lose its monopoly on spirituality, tradcath LARPers get very anxious and cling to fantasies like jacked crusaders and conquistadors savagely destroying pagans and infidels.
Everybody nowadays does these gay power fantasy LARPS where they own their ideological opponents. Nazis make memes where SS officers gas jews. Jews go to political protests and hold up signs saying that they're ethnically replacing all the nazis. Commies make shitty games where the main character is a smart talking queer tranny who sticks it to the hilariously corrupt and ineffective right wing authoritarian leadership.
