In Poland, there is a LARP group @4thofJulyLarp that roleplays as contemporary Americans. They just come together and show off their most American-ish outfits and act out various scenarios that they imagine would happen in the USA. It’s brilliant. Real Americans, please let us know in the comments if they got it right!
Not enough red meat and hot dogs being grilled. Not enough food in general. Watermelons. Hamburgers/cheeseburgers. Steaks. Corn on the cob. Just all the things we grill out.
Not enough diversity.
Also, as former EMS, DEFINITELY not enough “firework injuries”, ie. blown off arms & fingers.
I mean, this is a good, funny jab at (specifically) TRUMPublican America, but we, as a whole, do have actual nice clothes and usually have nice shirts made for the ENTIRE family who show up for the grilling out and festivities.
**THE FOLLOWING is an important, educational “Just FYI” sidebar:
—>BBQ is a food, NOT an activity. BBQ is smoked or grilled food with (everyone’s special secret recipe) BBQ sauce or dry rub. Then you eat the smoked BBQ, but you CAN’T “go to a BBQ” or “have a BBQ”. You CAN eat some BBQ and go get BBQ.
So I live in one of the poorest areas of the nation (Eastern Kentucky) and I’d have to look in some pretty sketch areas to find anything close to, and as white as this. Even on the “firework injury” EMS runs, people weren’t THIS redneck. And now that this “look” is somehow, actually a “look” and “in-style”, clothes like this cost a bloody fortune. So this is closer to what you’d find in Atherton, Beverly Hills, Cupertino, Scarsdale, Fashion District, Hells Kitchen, and ESPECIALLY a place like Cherry Hills Village, not rural, normal America.
And where’re the mullets?
Oh, and, biker “gangs” are welcome anywhere. They were always welcome in my gas station, and market. Typically you kinda want them on your good side and banning them because they’re wearing their colors, isn’t a good way to get and keep them on your good side. They do a TON of charity work in Kentucky. Currently there’s at least the different biker clubs working to help the flood victims in the ENTIRE counties we lost that were under water. I know Hells Angels are helping recover bodies, with clean-up and rebuilding.
From where exactly do y’all get your inspiration?
Go Trump! MAGA <3
lol I agree, go Trump!
What about fat people? Where are the AR15s ? Where are MAGA hats? Beer bottles and Beards?
Contrary to what one “experts” wrote, we do go to bbqs and have a bbq. We also eat bbq. Not enough color of skin here…the USA mixed like no other country on earth. We generally do not use the aluminium trays when grilling and there’s always more beef than pork.
This is mostly very very well done. The boxing gloves hung on a line are totally wrong; yes, violence + sports + flag is a thing but it’s not expressed this way. The woman with the purple hair in addition to being gorgeous has totally capured the 1980-1982 style of dress which is hard to nail down because it was a transitional state (imo). One thing they need more of are tshirts that threaten violence ie “I have a daughter and I also have a gun” “Kill your local pedophile” “If I lead, follow. If I run, kill me. If I die, avenge me”. Really well done cosplay; I’d like to visit join in and be an American imitating Poles imitating Americans.
Close, but everyone in these photos looks healthy and has clear unblemished skin. Consider the lack of good medical care in the USA. You would see a lot more evidence on their skin and faces of poor health, alcoholism, drug addiction, and missing teeth, and poor choices like facial tattoos.
This is definitely white america.
This is the ignorant, white supremacist, misogynistic, fascist, and rapist culture that a small majority (ignorant maga and qanon supporters) that sadly make the headlines. The beliefs they hold are the stupidest conspiracy fallacies on the planet, and they do not represent the majority of Americans. They are a treasonous and dangerous minority that wants to suppress women’s rights, lgbtq+ rights, and minority rights. It is sad that other countries view Americans this way and it makes me ashamed to be a part of a country where a vocal minority are preaching white nationalism and turning this country backwards. For those commenting that you love trump, you are a disgrace, an abomination, and guilty of insurrection ideology, rape culture, and fascism.
@[Maga is anti-American] Agreed. We need to represent woke liberal idiots, for representation. Only once we have both sides can we fully represent the full spectrum of America!
All the Karen’s and Kyles in the comments sayin they ain’t Muricuh Larping accurately enough is so American.
