Lolcow KingCobraJFS / Josh Saunders - Amateur musician, YouTube Streamer, wandmaker, and self-proclaimed "sexy goth badboy". Perpetually circling the drain.

[anliteralidiot]

What scares me is the idea that an entire generation of viewers has only understood "lolcows" as internet dunk tanks. Some contemptible thing gets propped up so people can insult it and pay money for a chance to get them riled up. I can't get into the majority of people being recommended to me because the whole premise is that they're vile and the internet needs to punish them.

It sucks, and you're right to be worried. It reminds me of the late 2000s, early 2010s when Encyclopedia Dramatica was at its peak, and everyone was just a dick all the time.

People see "Lolcow Live" with Boogie and Wings, and they see them (and chrischan) as the epitome of the word, so they assume everyone with that label has to be the same. Wings being weird about child marriage (I don't know a lot about Wings), and Boogie for...a lot (cancer, mostly). The entire Geno Samuel series has people convinced they know Chris's story, but they have entirely preconceived notions on what the kiwifarms does (the evil harassing site...that doesn't allow harassing).

Every example is just someone who does bad things. Does Cobes have a bad thing? Sure, Puff wasn't great pet ownership, but that's the worst thing he's done in my opinion, and he regrets it! And the fuckin alogs and weens and troles piss me off, because they can't accept that he feels remorse for it!

Back in my day, a lolcow was just someone who occasionally freaked out, who maybe got a little bit trolled (and I mean work went in to the trolling, not a drive-by message saying Josh burnt the bacon), and otherwise produced amusing content. And I'm worried those days are over. I'm worried these new-age lolcow fans will find someone as harmless as Ulillillia, and ruin them for no other reason than amusement.

Sorry for rambling, it's just something I've also noticed, and it PISSES ME OFF!

T&B, my doodt. The boy is doing the best he can everyday.



Trust. And Believe.

When people try to morally grandstand about Cobes it's obvious that they're reaching. He wasn't a great pet owner, he cheated on Stephanie, he says mean things about trannies sometimes. Really, that's it? That justifies torturing this fucking guy? Cobes is a really entertaining guy when he's being his normal weird self and people moralizing about him are just sadists looking to inflict pain on someone they view is a deserving target.

It really is concerning. There's a whole generation of vigilantes, ready to strike as long as they are able to find something objectionable about their victims.

I think there are a few reasons why we got here:

1. Anti-bullying initiatives have been well-intentioned but completely ineffective from the start. What these A-logs/weens are doing is certainly bullying, but they believe it is justified because of...
2. The rise of vigilante justice in general. TV programs such as To Catch a Predator show Chris Hansen roping in offenders with minimal involvement of the authorities, making them think such a thing is normal. And to make things worse...
3. These kids' formative years were that weird time when people wondered: "Maybe we should just defund police departments so that they are even less effective." Seeing that led them to trust the authorities even less, the first step in taking the law (or even their perceived rules of how everyone should behave) into their own hands.

It's messed up, and I'm afraid it'll get worse before it gets any better.

I can only imagine what the other people in the therapy waiting room think seeing him there

It would be enough to "scare them straight" so to speak. You know how pretty much every other millennial girl takes pride in going to therapy and wearing her diagnoses like they're badges of honor? Imagine her seeing this caveman in the waiting room muttering nonsense to himself. I'd like to think that she'll quickly come to the realization that THIS is the sort of person who needs therapy and that she's actually perfectly normal.

The rise of vigilante justice in general. TV programs such as To Catch a Predator show Chris Hansen roping in offenders with minimal involvement of the authorities, making them think such a thing is normal.

To be fair, that stopped being a Dateline segment in like 2008. What really made shit bad was the COVID-era DIY chomo catching that took off because of Twitch et al. We had YouTube in the decade or more prior, and people weren’t becoming their own vigilantes.

I argue that the rise in influencer culture and “monitorization” marked a shift in the Internet being a fun place to find weird shit to a place where the worst people in the world sought out attention and asspats from other degenerates. People want their own two seconds in the spotlight and individuals of a certain type have delusions of becoming a “content creator.”

When YouTube was just “you can upload your own videos,” the weirdness was more authentic and random. It’s how we got things like Chocolate Rain, Double Rainbow, and early Cobes.

@anliteralidiot, the fact that wherever WoT goes theres already a crowd of people screaming, shoving their phones in his face repeating phrases that they know will trigger him and make him hurt himself is absolutely terrifying. I know he broadcasts where he is going to go, but people actively search each other out and plan entire flashmobs, purely for their amusement.

And what's WoT even done? Be drunk? Be a loud weirdo? Dude's practically tortured, because he can't help but share how he feels, his location, everything!

What really made shit bad was the COVID-era

That's it. That's all there really is. Covid basically just shoved internet at these bored kids, because they couldn't go to school, where their phone access would be limited, and they would have normal interactions with their peers. Instead, they got in discords with unknown-aged people, and never learned anything. Their new, free, entertainment was fucking with people like Daniel Larson and WoT, but now Larson is MiA, and WoT is older news, so they're looking for more...

And they're not even original. Every new cow is the next ChrisChan, every cow has fuckin pedo allegations, and nothing can ever be funny. You can't be lighthearted about a lolcow like Cyraxx, because he's a pedophile!!! He's an abuser!!!
...he's a delusional little goblin that fried two Xboxes, believes he can play any piece of music by ear, never tuned his guitar ever, and believes he is owed millions from a man who's totally not dead. But you can't laugh. He's evil. It ain't funny.

I just wanna hear Cobes be a weird guy, and tell us about his weird ideas and beliefs and shit.

Same. The couch Chris saga was peak Cobes IMO. The stupid Demon fight and building resentment towards Chris who wouldn't clean while Cobra was out actually working. It was what streaming should be.

Reddit was the worst. I remember when the Israel shit popped off how many people on there were seething. I had to login and ask one of them why they care what some spice head in bum-fuck Wymoning believes about some conflict half a world away and got downvoted into oblivion. Imagine hating Kingcobrajfs because he isn't waving Hasan's swastika sword around.

Really, that's it? That justifies torturing this fucking guy? Cobes is a really entertaining guy when he's being his normal weird self and people moralizing about him are just sadists looking to inflict pain on someone they view is a deserving target.

Let's not forget that Cobes is the world's most unreliable narrator. The story about cheating on Stephanie is probably cope. People get mad that a literal retard thought he could carry a lizard around like a parrot and it ran off. He proclaims himself a troon ally but sometimes commits the most heinous crime of wrongthink trying to keep their bullshit narratives coherent in his bogbrain.

It really chaps my ass how much content we've been cucked out of (let alone the negative effect they've had on the boy) because these pathetic faggots can't just let the boy entertain us. These a-log retards need to get bullied off the internet or something.

Also, as far as the enshittification of the internet, I think you can actually trace it to the fallout of the Occupy Wallstreet movement getting cucked by the commies and their new progressive ideology rising to the forefront. The purity tests and virtual struggle sessions led to the rise of virtue signaling all over social media and the rest of the internet. Reddit turned into a hive of faggotry and crushed all dissent to the new order. Gamergate was a watershed for this new type of behavior on the internet. Anyone who opposes the Narrative has free reign to attack any opposition for good boy points and updoots.

Take people used to this type of behavior and point them at someone like Cobes. Oh, he said something that goes against the grain of the approved troon narrative? Obviously, he deserves death, and they can all sit in their little hugbox on Facebook or whatever and updoot each other.

 

[cobra fucker]

These a-log retards need to get bullied off the internet or something.

The only way he'll ever win is to be successful (comfortable). He's so close with his wands and streams. If he manages to replace his alcohol addiction with marijuana, he could live a happy little life. Of course he has to live in one of the worst states for marijuana. Someone needs to tow his ass to Colorado.

And yeah, his cheating story has always sounded completely made up.

 

[ASeabear8952]

And then there’s the Nova a-logs which are a whole other realm…

The thumbnail makes it look like our boy has no teeth lmao

Looks? He doesn't really have upper front teeth any more

I think Walt was nice to him but I think more or less, he was an excuse to perv on LN.

I might be in the minority here, but even with the weird sex doll dismemberment, I think Cobes is pretty harmless.

Not sure how many autists you've been exposed to, but they literally cannot grasp social norms or cues. Like, there is some disconnect in his head that makes it impossible for Cobes to realize that he cannot associate with people close to LN without it being weird at this point. Clint has also said Josh is very literal - Cobes probably thinks that if he just doesn't talk about her, to her, or say her name on his videos that it checks all the "I am not a creep" boxes and he's safe.

If I were the women in these situations and I didn't have any desire to watch his videos and dissect how he thinks, I'd probably be concerned for my safety. But as a casual Cobra enjoyer and internet doctor who is clearly capable of analyzing autistic behavior, I think he genuinely cares about these people and wouldn't hurt them.

I can only imagine what the other people in the therapy waiting room think seeing him there

"That goth dude smells good"

Jokes aside, "Yea, that guy needs to be here. My life in Casper WY sucks, but at least I am not him!" is probably pretty close.

Ok cool cobras, I'm on a road trip, and car rules is that driver gets control of the speakers. So, I used this opportunity to force my husband to listen to Snake Bones 12: Favorite Moments

And he enjoyed it.
Which one do I force him to hear tomorrow?

Cobraisms for sure. Have fun @anliteralidiot and Mr. Idiot.

Good question, they're all gold, but some are more visual than others. Perhaps Corbraisms, or Cobra's Rage and Shame?

My wife has never had any interest in Cobes or any cow for that matter. I did get her to watch cobraisms one time and she’ll still throw a Trust and Believe Dood my way. TWU
