Because not being able to let little things go and take criticism is an aesthetics choice. ]itsautism said:

But I have odd traits and I'm not an internet lolcow. You become a LoLcow usually when you upload things online, without thinking first, and repeating the same mistakes, no matter how many people call you out. If your a lolcow, it is not societies fault, is it everyone's fault that Chris drinks semen and farts on cakes?

* Infantilism: Acting like a small child well into adulthood.
* Being very deluded about the processes at work in the world, having no clue about how reality works. E.g. Chris's assumption that Sonichu has the potential to become a hit franchise as well as his obsession with a gigantic conspiracy against him. ADF's notion that (s)he is a communist ideologue on par with Marx or Engels. Gloria Tesch's belief she's a literary prodigy.
* A grandiose sense of self importance, surrealistically overestimating one's own abilities - similar to a child who declares himself king of a toy city he's built, but now the toy city is one's entire life.
* Creepy sexual behavior based on lack of socialization and entitlement issues.
* Flat-out stupidity, low mental capacity, inability and/or unwillingness to learn.

A deep-rooted fear of being anything other than super-speshul and yooneek.

[*]Need For Attention Lolcows have a desire for attention that they attempt to gain through some outlet on the Internet. Whether it's ranting about the evils of homosexuality on Deviantart, or advertising their long-standing virginity on YouTube or jumping on a forum to make some tall claim of beating up a bunch of black kids, Lolcows all have a need for the limelight that they think they'll get on the Internet.
[*]Egotism Be it the product of an enabling up bringing, a disorder, or some combination thereof, the lolcow's head is pumped up with arrogance and USI. Even though they may be fond of saying that they're "not perfect", their behavior is always antithetical to this. A lolcow can't handle any indication that they could do some wrong and when met with any sort of criticism, they will either ignore it, tactlessly dismiss it, or completely flip their shit over it, which leads to...
[*]Willingness to respond to provocateurs This is probably the most important, as a lolcow that doesn't consistently produce lulz isn't a lolcow at all, just someone that said or did something stupid on the Internet once. Once the trolling has begun, the lolcow will either fail to realize that they're being baited for their comically stupid reactions, or they will simply be unable to resist the urge to lash out at antagonists. In either event, the lolcow must take the bait again. And again. And again.
[*]Below average intelligence Probably goes without saying, but someone that repeatedly falls for trolling has to be at least kind of dumb, which causes the next component..
[*]Ignorance The lolcow will have at least one opinion or belief that they are adamant, yet remarkably ill-informed about. ("Asperger's has nothing to do with autism!" "Homosexuals are pedophiles!" "I identify as Asian!" etc.)

Unwillingness to learn from their fuckups.
Getting bitch tits when they don't get their way.
Some try to act pathetic in a ploy for pity.
Victim complex.
Raging butthurt.
Attention whoring.

A general lack of shame. Lolcows are shameless subhumans.
Also, the uncanny ability to never, ever think before opening their mouths or hitting "send".
This combined with low intelligence is what constitutes a lolcow.

Auti- oh wait, it's been done.
In my opinion (this is what I've seen):
-Low self esteem that is hidden by a superiority complex
-Accidentally or intentionally doxing themselves (
)
-Autism (it's a given, though not required)
-Constant overreaction to anything (criticism, hate, hell even compliments)
-Victim complex
-Unwarranted self importance
-Having an account wherein they can communicate with "fans" (dA, Twitter, YouTube) and end up getting trolled through it
-Some sort of thing they're insanely proud of (Sonichu in example) and they won't shut the fuck up about it
-Parents who coddle too much (this relates to above, especially with Chris)
-Taking the internet too seriously
I dunno, there's a lot more. It's just that there's so many things that cause a lolcow. I honestly thing that parents who coddle too much is a huge contributing factor though.
