Can a lolcow be redeemed

God helps those who help themselves.
If someone asks me to help them out, even "save" them, I will probably make an effort to do so. The act of asking for help is very important, because it shows the realization of a problem, swallowing your pride and an act of agency to fix the situation.
Moral busybodies who force themselves in other's lives and try to save them without them wanting to be saved will fail ten times out of ten.

Also, there are so many lolcows here, only a portion of them are actually failures. Some are just weirdos who still have a somewhat successful life.
Don't forget that you don't know these people. You never met them. You can't save someone over the internet, retard.

IIRC wasn't ulillillia a cow turned (relatively) normal? He got over his fear of water and started improving his life right?

Because I'm a giant faggot, I've been following U since his early days of internet fame. And I can't really say he's ever been "a cow" in the sense most people here would use the term. That is to say, U never really had any negative interactions with the online community - he was never bullied, never acted out, etc. He was just a fun, eccentric guy who had a positive attitude and whom everyone liked. (iirc the worst/most controversial thing he was into was Sonic the Hedgehog ryona - but even then, his fetish was pretty lowkey, and he didn't let it define himself in the way a "cow" cow typically does)

Yes, Ulillillia has improved quite a bit, in the sense that Ulillillia has gotten over several issues that have negatively affected his quality of life, and his ability to function as an independent adult has certainly increased over the years. But that's not really anything new, and it's certainly not anything other people have done to him - he hasn't "been saved", but rather, he is now, and has always been (so long as he's been online, at any rate) the sort of person who improves himself.
 
Some can be saved, it all depends on them growing the fuck up, having based parents and learning from their mistakes, From person experience I would have properly have been a woke bastard if not for Step-father toughening me up by calling me nigger as a joke and mother calling out PC fuckery for as long as I can remember. Frankly these kids are too protected and some hardship does wonders for people, but in the end of the day it's up to those retards to fix their own retardation or remain lolcows for the rest of their lives.

Best way to fix it is to learn to laugh at yourself when you make a fuck up and don't take it personal.

The only example I know is SammyClassicSonicFan, who was infamous with his "YOU FRICKIN FRICKS!" talk and Sonic fanboy levels that rivaled CWC's. But unlike Chris, he moved on with his life. He even made fun of his past self at some point.

Sometimes cows fizzle out. I was glad for Connor Bible when he stopped posting here. As far as I know he never finished Redesigning Eva or whatever his story is called

That guy was so young at the time I am not surprised he matured out of that phase. Unfortunately he was the unlucky one who’s preteen internet sperging became well known but at least he can reference it in humor.

I could've sworn I'd heard somewhere that he was trying to parody the Sonic fandumb's proclivity for autistic screeching whenever Sega doesn't make a game exactly how they want it.

Chris is the essence of a tragic character who was fucked even way before he had a chance of a normal life. His disabilities while severe, where nothing compared to his parents neglecting his awful behavior and their own as well. If he had different parents, he probably wouldn't been a lowcow, but then again, who knows. He could've still been a lowcow in the end, but probably less worse.

If you could meet Chris before the unclit, before the sagas, before Julie, and before everything. What would you say to him? Could you even say anything to him that would have helped? Was he doomed, and if so, at what point was he doomed? Was he doomed the moment Bob and Chris' Mom (forgot name) laid eyes one another at the karaoke bar or whatever it was and fucked, old as they were? When they switched Chris' schools so he wouldn't have to attend sped? And even now, with at least two-thirds of his life spent, is there still some infinitesimal chance, some hope, that if the stars aligned in the right way, Chris could come back to reality?

I think that this probes at one of reasons Chris' story is so compelling. One recurring theme, asked to christorians throughout its course, was whether or not someone could change, or whether we're all doomed to the trajectory we're thrown into this world at, consigned by our environment and neurophysiology. That's some pretty deep shit for a forum of sperg-stalkers. Maybe children should browse the farms in school, instead of reading Shakespeare.

Poor bastard was buggered the moment he was born in a country with a shitty record for dealing with mental illness in folks, buggered by being born in an era where you gave them the same teaching, if any, as a normal person and expected to match up and move on up like the rest. If anything, he's a great example of why you can't expect them to match equals with regular/normal folk, best thing to do is give them their tard bucks, let them slide into their blissful unaware background and just hope to god they don't breed.
 
Can Chris be saved? Not without professional intervention, which will never happen because he is an adult and would have to agree to it. His beliefs now resemble a doomsday cult, and giving them up would mean losing his only coping mechanisms. Even well before this, his life was doomed to be fucked due to a combination of his autism and the "parenting approach" taken by Borb.
Can other lolcows be saved? Depends on the cow. If they are young, they may grow out of it. Otherwise, they can choose to leave the internet instead of sliding further into their echo chamber and continuing their cycle of being mad at the internet.
 
Autism like Chris has can't be fixed or saved. There's good reason why autism is one of the mental conditions where getting NEETbux is a near guarantee, and mental health field quickly gives up on you once you get your bux. Which again is why I say the best that most lolcows can be saved, is that they end up getting offline, becoming a hermit as much as possible, and end up being ignored.

It seems there's 3 fates of a lolcow:

1) prison or otherwise put in an institution
2) early death
3) they stop being a lolcow
