/cow/ - Lolcows (Three Years on 8chan!)

As an active poster who eventually had (actually still has since nothing ever dies apparently lmao) his own thread here, it's the natural consequence of drama. If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. People here are obsessed with dirt and gossip, and if they smell blood, they'll jump on it.

Also, trollshielding. I'd imagine a lot of /cow/boys aren't terribly attractive or socially successful, so going after actual lolcows makes them feel better about themselves and gives them a perceived immunity.

When you make a thread like this.

I have too much self control to be a cow, nice projecting though.

>>233600

When you start to make holy than thou comments, and don't realize you are or could be just as bad as cows like Wheaton, Dobson, Chris Chan, or Timbox. That is what separates a troll from a cow.

Look at Inkdude from the Dobson thread. He was sperging all over the place with one faggy shit post after another.

Calling it now, OP is a lolcow.

>>233600

When you start being emotionaly involved

And making threads like this

>>233745

Define emotionally involved. You can't blame someone for getting pissed off at Dobson or even Nick Bate because they're really horrible people even out of the Internet.

>>233828

There's a difference between "wow what a piece of shit" and full-on "REEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Once I become a overweight autistic tranny or start masturbating with my shit to prove my innocence then I'll have become what I once mocked.

>>233853

See, it's that kind of thinking that led to A-Log being trolled as hard as he did. You basically just said, "At least I'm not Chris-chan/Nick Bate," No one is going to be as bad as Nick Bate, but it's easy to be like Chris if you are interested in people like him. There's a crossover between here and /r9k/ and /pol/ for a reason and that reason is that we're all anti-social weirdos. And any anti-social weirdo can go lolcow if they take the Internet seriously.

>>233647

That is what annoys me the most. Is even they get like that and then they expect their group to trollshield them.

>>233837

There's a difference between a healthy REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and a FUCK THIS FUCKING FAGGOT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KILL THIS MOTHERFUCKOAJCFOPKEWJFPOKEWJFPOWJKE;AFKKLEKLEFKLKLKLJJLKL;KKKKKKKKK

>>233600

Its when you use a cow for your own purposes to advance yourself and to act like an SJW telling the cow they are mocking that theyre HYPOCRITES and WRONG instead of laughing at the cow. What makes it even worse is when there is trollshielding groups like SOK that try to undermine everyone else monopolizing and talking shit about everyone that is not them. But then cry foul when they are called out on their bullshit. Trolls dont care about their image or try to profit off someone else. That is what differentiates a troll and a cow.

I always believe there are lolcows lurking amongst those that go after lolcows that try to bandwagon and fool everyone but over time their true colors begin to show and they become the thing they are making fun of and the differences are almost hard to tell that they look the exact same.

I suppose a part of it is that sometimes people and asspies go beyond watching lolcows for entertainment, and end up becoming obsessed with them. Kiwifarms comes to mind, mostly because of their "interest" in Chris-Chan.

>>233600

Not really, I never sperged out, specially not with my IRL name. When in meatspace I'm quite forgettable, and if I get any attention its not for being a fucking trainwreck

You can be a loser and not be a cow, and a cow can become somewhat successful but will still be a cow and when the gravytrain stops it will only get spergier than before, see spoony as an example.

Most people are completely unremarkable and that includes being cow material.

If you have just a tiny amount of self-awareness you are not a cow.

Lolcows are people who share way too much information about themselves on the internet, then get mad and super defensive when people use this against them.

>>234057

Nigger is not my fault those fuckers stole that shit and are using it now

>>234006

>Lolcows are people who share way too much information about themselves on the internet

That is most of the people on the internet these days anon

>>234076

Most have the sense to sugarcoat the information and keep embarrassing stuff in secret.

Not everyone is as honest as Chris-Chan, or as forthcoming about molesting hamsters as Jahans.

>>234437

>Anyone who treats themselves as some sort of gunslinger of the internet's wild west who shoots down all comers, they are this person.

This explains a lot about SJWs. And /pol/. And Helldump.

When you decide that people being unpleasant on the internet are basically supervillains, you go downhill FAST unless you grow out of it.

>>234090

Yes they do, but as twitter shitstorms show even the most seasoned celeb can fuck up and do lolcow-tier stuff

IMHO you already show "too much" when you blog your life away and upload pics full of metadata that can be used to locate you

>>234437

>Anyone who treats themselves as some sort of gunslinger of the internet's wild west who shoots down all comers, they are this person.

So weev then?

>>234501

>blog your life away and upload pics full of metadata that can be used to locate you

I never really understood why people are compelled to do this.

I am especially confused when these people fear their online privacy.

>>234516

My theory is that a lot of these normalfags simply didn't use the internet before besides browsing and email.That combined with internet points from the gamification aspect of social networks combined with peer pressure to share everything basically overrided all existing inhibitions.

>>234501

I was actually wondering about weev recently, I know he went full aut-right but wasn't sure if he could be cow material yet.

>>234516

The more I post the more attention I get

The more things I talk about the more I can post

The more I post the more attention I get

The more photos I take the more I can post

The more I post the more attention I get

The more posts I make the more people follow me

The more people who follow me the more attention I get

Seeing a pattern yet? It's a self fulfilling prophecy.

>this political board that has politics I don't like is a lolcow

>>>/leftypol/

Breaking anonymity helps a lot with it. It's so easy to not put a bunch of shit online that all connects to each other and goes back to you, which is an important thing a cow needs to have to be a cow, and avoiding doing that is so simple, you need to be a special kind of retard to do it and then mock someone publicly to the point you get enough attention that people start making fun of you.

>>234437

Man, crossing the line is not easy at all.

>>279974

Tell us the lad's name, will ya?

>>297918

I know his name, it's Joshua Moon.

>>297923

That gay looking asian soyboy is Joshua Moon?

>At what point do you become the very kinda cow you mock?

When you become an autistic retard who overreacts to mean words on the internet
