I find Cobes endearing. He's latched onto this goth-rocker-badboy-warlock-party-animal persona made up of lots of clichéd tropes but deep down he's a harmless, autistic nerd. I get a little disappointed at him... even a bit of sadness when he goes really self-destructive and makes a pig of himself. I'm past the point of frustration in that regard.
Slate me however you want but I think he actually is kind of a rockstar; the fake persona coupled with widespread infamy (albeit for unintended reasons) and substance abuse topped off with outsider art, some of which deserves to be preserved alongside Wesley Willis and The Shaggs. It might not be winning to us but in a weird way Cobes is famous and a celebrity, again, for the wrong reasons.
Rockstars also have a defined image. Take Lemmy and Ozzy as examples. Cobra's look might be entirely derivative (and retarded) but he has undeniably cultivated his own "look" which springs to mind whenever you hear his name.
I'm rooting for him but I don't keep my hopes high. It is what it is, toobz.
EDIT: also that time when he was in a group stream with Cyraxx and straight away announced he didn't want to talk to a sick pedo was gold
