It's at least not obvious from the article that taking your LARPing a little far is harmful, and if it's not harmful and gives them something they need then let them have it.

It's not LARP at that point.

LARP is playing/acting a character.

Some of these people have a legitimate belief that they are what they say they are - just like some transsexual people strongly feel that they are not of the right gender (which can be explained with hormones and is perfectly normal), these people legitimately believe that, deep inside, they are a bright pink fox, or a deep blue wolf, or a highlighter yellow bird that talks and can use it's feathers as fingers, or even sealife.
