What is the defining trait that makes a lolcow a lolcow?

[Deleted member 291]

If I dont like them

If they make me MATI, and then I post a thread to turn /b/ or KF or OF or lolcow.farm or your mom into my personal army to destroy them because they gave me prickly-wicklies online

If they're pretentious, narcissistic and highly mocked by others. Also if they're degenerate (e.g. kid diddler, dogfucker, etc) and have been notorious in certain communities.

Delusion - I think the defining trait is that they view the world completely differently from others.

What do you guys think?

They spend too much time on the interwebs and lose any semblance of what makes up normal human interaction.

That's what leads to every other lolcowish trait they may have such as oversharing or autistic behavior.
The only exception to this is scitzocows.

a lolcow is someone who is almost always retarded but doesnt acknowledge or want to acknowlege that and when pointed out would starting crying and throwing fits to which we can milk them more and more for laughs, hence the term 'lolcow'

kiwifarms, ironically a site meant to make fun of lolcows, are also ran by lolcows and they've used the term too liberally to the point where we need a recap on what the term meant...

anybody else is either an unlikeable but normal person, a shitposter, or a retard that doesnt give a fuck...

No offence but kiwifarms is a lolcow itself.

Caring about being a lolcow. If someone does something cowish, then doesn't overreact when made fun of and just continues to otherwise act like a sensible person, they're probably not a lolcow. This isn't the only criterion, but it's an important one.

If they consistently act like a cow, I'd say it doesn't matter whether they react to being made fun of. The cows who take their cow status in stride are some of my favorites, though.

I draw the line at so-called "skitzcows". If it is something beyond their voluntary control such as Alzheimers or Schizophrenia that cannot be managed, you can't really call them lolcows.

I mean you can call them a lolcow, but unless you're the second coming of Terry A. Davis (may he rest in power), it's more likely that the schizophrenia is going to be sad and not funny. And even in Terry's case, the schizophrenia still makes it sad, he just happened to say some really funny shit.

The problem with "lolcows" is that most of them were never funny nor interesting to begin with. I mean, take Amberlynn Reid for example. What, exactly, is funny about her? She's just a dime-a-dozen fat asshole. You can find those pretty much anywhere. Same for Chantal. Same for Luna. Same even for DSP - who, like CWC, had his milk, if any existed, dry up years ago. If anything is a lolcow nowadays, it's a sports franchise like the Jets (NFL) or Oilers (NHL), and UrinatingTree has that covered. Most so called "lolcows" on KF are only "lolcows" because punching down makes losers feel better about themselves. Otherwise, why do so many people on KF feel the need to blogpost about their mediocre life stories. Oh, , you know better than Chantal about some mundane bullshit! Whoop dee fucking doo.

Terry is basically Josh with actual charisma and aptitude for his field of work, but unlike Josh when he too an hero's, he's actually missed.

I guess for me it might be where they are more like a freakshow/sideshow for a true lolcow. As in, where you can get entertainment from them as a sort of outcast that doesn't fit in, but also feel sympathy for how they became/end up. CWC and Terry were funny through what they said and how they acted, but there was something that was also saddening about them to act as a balance or counter, such as Terry's schizophrenia and Chris's autism and how easily fooled he could be. If there's one that's missing, there's nothing more to look at. If there is, it's for petty shit at best and a-logging at worst.
