do they have a humiliation fetish? Does being marginalized and disliked get them off? Because between the intense rage, reading their own thread, constant stoking of conflict with strangers... it’s like they ENJOY being pathetic at the hands of others and themselves.
Not gonna lie, for a (very brief) period of time, part of me thought Lou was an elaborate troll, as he seems like the perfect embodiment of lolcows that have been discussed in other threads. He's furry, he's unemployed, he's a compulsive liar and is completely incapable about shutting up about politics or gender identity garbage for more than 5 minutes. He's pretty much an autistic Voltron consisting of all the pieces from other lolcows that make people mad on the internet. In fact, he's almost too good, like Jace Connors good.
At first glance, if Lou indeed had some humiliation fetish, he could possibly be seen as a successful troll, because getting a 122-page thread on the Kiwi Farms discussing and analyzing his every move would be giving him exactly the kind of attention/humiliation he wants. However, Lou is not a troll. Trolls care about only two things: Getting a response (of any kind), and the lulz. Real trolls thrive off angry replies, love call-out threads about them, and laugh off any “witty” insult they receive.
Not so with Lou, because he actually cares about the stupid crap he types and the responses (or lack of) that he receives, with him throwing hissy fits if people don’t agree with whatever the topic of the day is. It doesn't matter if it's about some new Trump policy or if it's something as minor as "what pizza topping is best", if there's any differing opinion, he will argue the fuck out of it, almost out of a psychological need to argue with someone.
If he's repeatedly ignored or blocked, he blames everyone but himself and deletes his accounts in anger (with the occasional fake suicide threat), then remakes them while making little to no effort to hide it's him before he's inevitably re-blocked by those same people he was trying to "own" or befriend (I really can't tell half the time in his twitter interactions). He sometimes spams Twitter for as long as 10 hours straight (and there have been longer sessions) to get people to reply to his stupid "witty" comebacks or convince strangers to send him money so he can buy McDonald's.
When all else fails, he tries the old “LOL IT'S ALL KIWIFARMS FAULT I TROLLED YOU ALL BY MAKING YOU TALK ABOUT ME” tactic in order to save face, even if the only person he trolled was himself. All of the anger he causes is purely unintentional, as it's mostly from people shocked that someone this dysfunctional could possibly exist and not see a single problem with his behavior. The really funny part is that, when not raging about inconsequential bullshit online, he acts like nothing around him is ever his fault and he truly believes he's a shining example of a perfect person, doing everything to support his family even though they apparently hate him for being a proud "woman". It would indeed be a tragic life to live if Lou has not proven time and time again that he absolutely deserves his fate and all the animosity around him.
