At what point is it impossible for lolcows to redeem themselves?

[IAmNotAlpharius]

At what point in life is it too late for lolcows to have a redemption arc? Or are they always doomed? I feel like when they’re elderly like Tommy it’s definitely too late. Old dogs and new tricks and all that.

It's never too late to stop digging yourself a deeper hole, but depending how far you dug determines how long it would take to get out as well as what handicaps you face while attempting to surface

The second they do anything heinously illegal like molesting children, murder, etc.

Before that it's possible for a lolcow to redeem themselves. The thing though, is that 99.9998% of lolcows are narcissists who believe that they're fine and it's the rest of the world that's wrong. Most of the few lolcows who have redeemed themselves have only done so after disappearing from the internet for long periods of time and seeing shrinks and shit. Most lolcows will never do this because this is their life and as much as they hate being a laughing stock they're addicted to the attention and the internet itself.

HRT is usually jumping the edge of the clip.

I think they turn the corner when it becomes pathetic instead of funny. Cosmo and Spoony are good examples of that.

Being more of a lolcow has this kind of same behavior as being fatter that is, like how much harder it is to lose weight being fatter, being more of a lolcow makes you lose much more credibility making it harder for you to redeem yourself.

There's three clauses. First clause is you start doing blatantly illegal shit like dogfucking/molesting kids. Second clause is you stop listening to other people and hermit up, like Spoony or DSPig. Third clause is HRT. Any combination of those three are sure killers.

I'd add someone in his 30s who has at least half a decade of cow escapades. Yeah-yeah, it's never late to change, but let's be honest, at that age personality is already formed and everything after that does not count as developing in the right way, but trying to patch up what's been fucked up. And if the fucked up part prevails, there is no way this person is going to change. That's why many relatively "normal" cows don't seem to get what they are doing wrong.

Back in the Encyclopedia Dramatica days I felt when you had more than two people editing your page constantly it meant you're there for good. There were so many cows that were only famous in niche groups like retro video game reviewers or video game speed runners. That and the ones that go full tranny don't have a single chance at normalcy.
