Who was your first LOLcow?

[Tragi-Chan]

I'd read about a few beforehand on ED, but Chris was the first I really followed.

My first lolcow was CWC, but once he stopped regularly doing funny things I started following Jace.

Ahuviya Harel for me. I remember it like it was yesterday

i thought it was chris but actually the first lolcow i actively followed and loved to see him get pissed, was the host, the man that we call Ghost of true capitalist radio, but i did hear about chris first in like what '08? '09? i was watching a playthrough of terminator 2 for NES and he offhandedly mentioned the fiasco i had no idea who he was but avoided him or attempted to like the plague then some guy i knew mentioned chris to me months later(and earlier) and i shrugged it off then in '10 or '11 Ghost getting messed with by bronies happened, i ate it up, found the cwcki as i got interested in chris in early '13 i forgot how actually and now i follow under commander Jace Connors of Deagle Nation

If I remember correctly, it was MysticArc on YouTube. I think I mentioned that he and I got into a shitfest over how animation and perspective works, culminating in him saying that I was "Worse than Hitler". Just like A-Log.

Andrew Schlafly and his Conservapedia project. In fact, his Conservative Bible Project is the main reason I became a Diest.

I used to love watching Kent Hovind's stuff, if that counts

I'd forgotten all about him. His videos were a lot of fun. Equally entertaining were his fanboys, who tried to adopt his smug, condescending, down-home approach but would quickly degenerate into rage (and some very un-Christian sentiments) when their points were refuted. They operated on a "bullshit baffles brains" approach whereby they'd keep asking questions until they found one you couldn't answer, whereupon they'd yell, "You don't know? Ha! That means my entire argument is correct, even the bits you've refuted! Victory!"

In fact, I learnt a hell of a lot about a lot of scientific topics thanks to those guys, purely because I wanted to have enough answers to their questions to provoke them into fundie-rage.

I had to watch Kent Hovind's stuff in school because I went to a Christian school, so you can guess at the quality of the biology education I got

So Hovind is really my first lolcow, although back then I thought he was brilliant.

holy shit, really? I discovered it via Youtube when I was about 17 or so, and I couldn't believe it existed. I voraciously gorged myself on all 10+ hours of his seminars, couldn't get enough. But that's all part of why I loved his stuff: his ongoing crusade to get his message spread across the US and the fact that it actually seemed to take in certain parts of the country.

His debates were really boring and annoying though. The man is totally inept at adapting (irony..) his arguments and engage in dynamic debate, preferring to read from his Powerpoint slides instead.

So Hovind is really my first lolcow, although back then I thought he was brilliant.

I think, in a funny way, I found/find him brilliant too. No doubt he's a great speaker. He has a huge personality and it seems to come naturally to him, that swaggering about onstage that he does. I didn't fully appreciate his showmanship til I saw what a failure his son, Eric, was at replicating it.

I find myself occasionally disappointed by Kent, wishing he didn't embarrass himself so much at times. But most times I can celebrate him for being him.

 

[Grand Number of Pounds]

True, I was going to write about how Eric doesn't have the personality of his father and I couldn't wait until Kent gets out of jail on tax charges and gets to do more seminars.

We have a creationist lolcow thread, but it hasn't been used for some time.

I'm not sure if he counts as a lolcow, but I remember MasterKnightDH always inserted some variation of this in all of his video descriptions:

...the Hyphy Movement, the San Francisco Bay Area residents who prove that it doesn't deserve to be called the "Yay Area", the shallow girls who would say "wanna suck my pee" just to mock me, and the Oakland rioter.

 

[GRANDnumberofMULTIPLES]

I had read about the FF7 house and many LJ dramas over the years. I followed the Kevin Havens/Dollfucker mess when it was on SA and THAT was a fucking riot.

But CWC was my first long-term experience. So many glorious years.

CopperCab before I found out he was a troll.

 

[HarryHowler]

In terms of online LOLcows at least, my first was a guy named Darkstar, who was active in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek community. For the most part his shit was pretty standard-issue except for being ridiculously verbose, but he seemed to go completely fucking insane for a few months in 2005, firstly lecturing a guy about how he obviously didn't understand a particular episode of Enterprise - despite the guy in question having actually written the episode - and then getting involved in a flame war with a bunch of Trek novel writers over the show's canon policy.

 

[Roger Rabbit]

Sony-mae/KessieLou comes to mind.

 

[John Titor]

I think it was Snapesnogger. First lolcow to interact with was some guy named Neomorphasis.

 

[Rin]

I don't know if MsScribe is what one would call a classic lolcow, more of a sockpuppet master than anything. But this expose is one of the finest pieces of internet detective work that I've seen, and was what inspired my interest in the genre. (Note that you have to use the archived versions if you want to read it, as JournalFen is currently down.)

 

[DirkBloodStormKing]

My first lolcows were CWC, Guptill89(the dude who made the Top 10 Hottest Sonic Female Characters video), Thomas Brown (author of The Prayer Warriors), jo bel (author of jO Bekke @ HUgwRts), VaporeonChan/Sailor Pluto (former friend from FF.Net/Deviantart that I realize is a major lolcow that I am considering making a thread on), LadyALT69, Britishgirl2012, and JiminyCricketFan007 (girl who ships herself with Jiminy Cricket and claims to have a duaghter with him). And that is not including any of the cows I first saw on tumblr.

It was either Snapesnogger or David Gonterman, both of which convinced me to get my head out of my ass as an artist.

I know I read about lolcows before them but they were very minor and barely a blip on the radar.

I think it was Snapesnogger. First lolcow to interact with was some guy named Neomorphasis.

Snapesnogger actually got her shit together and grew up from what I know. I know that her art actually improved from what I have seen over the years.

Huh, the thread didn't show any indication that I posted already. Oh well.

Yeah, I saw. It seems she has abandoned the idea of going big with her naga characters.
