        If they are referring to the Shields those people were carrying I really don't see how they connected the dots

        Reading the article it's not as bad as the headline would insinuate, but most people don't read the article. Just threw me off.

        Indeed. The article is locked behind a paywall for most readers.

        From what I have seen they edited the article pretty fast. They just left the clickbait title.

        It's a really odd the framing It's kinda like blaming a dodge challenger for Charlottesville

        Good grief, considering the article's actual contents could you have maybe picked a more responsible title?

        We work hard to dispel misconceptions about #larp because it literally saves lives and you publish blatant ignorance for clickbait. Gross.

        To people exploring and learning about history in their classrooms. Larping has about as much to do with Neo Nazis as football does.

        This is irresponsible clickbait. The article makes a clear distinction between LARPers and Neo-Nazis. No reason for such a headline

        "LARPers are Nazis! (but not really)" That's some irresponsible, unprofessional bullshit that never should've been approved by an editor.

        WSJ lets try for some more responsible headlines that better frame the article and don't associate a massive sub-culture with neo-nazis

        Role playing Monty Python and the Holy Grail is something I can get behind.
