it's because rather than larp as something greater, the orientals lowered themselves by larping as romans.
they had a rich tapestry of larps to choose from, all of which are among the most prestigious. the cretans, the ageans, the hellenes, the lydians. etc.
instead they chose to larp as latin tribals, some literally who barbarians from a completely different end of the world. this isn't the basis of anything interesting, it's fucking embarrassing self-deprecation. it's borderline cuckoldry. i must close the history book, i can't stand this much cringe.
