Favorite Lolcow traits?

Blind idiotic rage amuses me.

I've noticed that almost all of the certain people discussed on this site seem to be Americans. Chris is from VA, Nick Bate is from PA, Tom Preston is from somewhere in the USA, TGK is also from somewhere in the USA (I think), A-Log is from NY, etc. Even in the rest of the English speaking world (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, etc) there doesn't seem to be very many.

I'm not implying anything here, as every country has its' share of interesting people. I guess the ones with internet access in the USA tend to be more outspoken and drama causing?

I say it's a coincidence that a lot of them happen to live in the U.S.

Its because of how widespread internet access is in the US combined with our somewhat brazen and outspoken personalities that make it so easy for lolcows to develop

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I don't know if favourite is the word, but something I find weirdly fascinating is the need to share their fetishes. I could understand if we were talking about people on an anonymous forum or something, but these are people who make their identities very public and in some cases, aspire to become famous.

Worse are the ones who not only want you to know about their fetish, but will post crude pornography - "erotic" stories, badly-drawn hentai or photos of themselves engaging in whatever bizarre deviance they've decided we all want to see. As if there are mllions of people who have been yearning to watch a fat guy in pantyhose wanking onto a plushie of Goofy or something.

I don't get why there's this need to make it so public. I don't think I could tell you any of my friends' secret fetishes, yet I could probably reel off the kinks of a dozen lolcows off the top of my head.

I also note how it seems that pretty much every one of them really likes to post pics of themselves online, oblivious to any unkempt or odd looks they may have.

 

[CasualWhimsicott]

I really like the crazy antics they do. Like there was a lolcow who took a picture of her snatch and sent it to an ED Admin hoping to get them to take it down, I think. I forgot who it was but that was surreal and amazing to read about.

 

[The_Hissing_Vigilant]

The self-entitled attitudes. How one can have had so much smoke blown out of thier own butt and into their face.
How the smoke screen can keep on going. How their reality is built like a card tower. All you need to do is close/open a door and the draft will blow it all away making them rage.

It's funny on the Internet but up close and personal it can be stressful and very upsetting. Very high maitenecnce. It's not fun being guilt-tripped by a hypocrite. It drives you crazy and makes you tard rage as well....but your not aloud to tard rage and make card tower realities. Not around a snowflake boyfriend. Not around a poltically correct commie. Nope.

 

[John Titor]

Another trait I noticed is how a whole bunch of them like to use licensed characters as their soapboxes. We all know Sonic has a stance on stem cell research.

 

[Enriku]

Thinking their IPs have actual value and are potential franchises

 

[Abethedemon]

To me, reacting immaturely to criticism makes them a lolcow whether they know it or not.

 

[ASoulMan]

Does rampant textwalling count as a trait?

 

[Afinepickle]

For me, it's the sheer bizarreness or the insistence upon repeating behaviors that have consistently been shown to do nothing but make their situation and status of being a Lolcow worse. That sheer refusal, and in some cases outright inability, to comprehend how/why they were Lolcows that really fascinates me. I like trying to unravel what makes people with bizarre behaviors or blatantly logic-defying patterns of action tick.

 

[Adamska]

Them hoisting themselves with their own petard. I love it when a lolcow metaphorically screws themselves over.

 

[Papaya23]

I like the ones that create content. I'm actually really sad about the end of the Sonichu comics/Captain's Log videos/galpal chats. There was a phase where I watched through what must have been a couple hundred Monnie Riot videos. It's an interesting window into the way they live and think.

It's also nice seeing people act like they have no sense of what they look like to other people. I'm not unattractive but I hate pictures of myself/unflattering reflections/webcams and have such anxiety about leaving the house without looking okay, doing my hair etc. OPL just throws on a sports bra and draws a cartoon on his dick and he's camera-ready. Monnie Riot slurps some creamer into her jowls mid-poop and posts it straight to YouTube. Even vaincows like Kai and Pixy just somersault through some foundation and waltz into Ulta/Hastings looking a mess. Their confidence baffles me.

 

[EI 873]

I'd like to add "saying stupid shit while extremely convinced of their own intelligence" to the list, citing some evidence from our own boards even. I was impressed.

 

[Sean Harris]

The whole sitcom-esq quality to their antics and the way they react. Jace Conners is a perfect example of this.

Plus the fact they sometimes make you feel better about your own crappy life, partially due to how hilarious and (often) terrible they are as people.

 

[Lucky Wildcard]

I'll just do it in a list:

Arrogance
Stubbornness
Having karma come back to bite them in the ass
Failing to back up their words when called out
Some of the unintentional things they say or do. It can be pure comedy gold in a "Did s/he say that?" sort of way.

 

[Frank Rizzo]

For me, my favorite trait is how they always feel that every bad thing that happens in their life is due to trolls. As if there's some big conspiracy against them going on "in secret" that is handled by trolls (Ex: Clyde Cash).

 

[HU 096]

Definitely the trait where they have all the time in the world to bullshit online, but only whine and complain about why they aren't improving in order to get ass-kissers.

I suppose this would tie into the trait of not accepting criticism; they prefer to just stay in their comfort zone.
