if a core tenet of cowishness is the inability to accept advice/criticism yet a cow does exactly that, is cow a rectifiable state of being?
I think there are terminal cows and there are chronic cows.
“Terminal”
adjective
1. of, forming, or situated at the end or extremity of something.
2. A cow with no chance of being reformed, 100% recidivism in cow behavior. Possibly linked to untreatable or treatment-resistant Cluster B personality disorders.
Examples include Kevin Gibes, Chris-Chan, Chantal Sarault, and Tess Holliday.
“Chronic”
adjective
1. (of a problem) long-lasting and difficult to eradicate.
2. A cow that, with intervention from loved ones or scrutiny from the internet, may improve behavior and reduce cowishness over time. Recidivism is likely but not certain. Can progress to terminal classification eventually with lack of intervention or treatment. Possible causes include untreated (but treatable) mental illness, indoctrination by online or in-person echo chamber, or uncontrolled fetishes.
Examples include mode_view, Bekah from the deathfat social media thread, and others I’m too lazy to suss out.
I don’t know if CammieDoxGirl or whatever is chronic or terminal, although my suspicion is terminal. The asspats he craves are coming from KF now, so he’s modified his behavior to be in a better position to gain some users’ approval. Unless he posted “I’m seeking treatment and going offline forever. I apologize for the way my actions have harmed women. I apologize to my children for prioritizing the narcissistic pursuit of my fetish above their care and wellbeing. I am ashamed of myself,” I won’t consider him reformed.
