I mean. Yes and no. These people are clearly of a certain..."breed".
They are "the crazies" so to speak. The only thing you can "save" is them going further into madness, meaning; you take away their internet fame or voice being known by large amounts of people. They will still be whackjobs, however they will be functional whackjobs. Though for some of them this would likely do nothing at all to change anything.
 
Lolcows may not be able to be "saved", per se, but there are ones, like David Foxfire/David Gonterman who at least have enough pattern recognition ability that they eventually stop acting like complete retards online and lay low.

Side note, but Gonterman's doing pretty well lately and, dare I say, actually pleasant to interact with.
 
Depends.

If you are talking about DSP, then no.
About Wings, no.
Any others, i dont know.
 
Depends on how stupid they are. Some cows are worse then others, and can be helped. Most of the time though? Nope.

Chris is the essence of a tragic character who was fucked even way before he had a chance of a normal life. His disabilities while severe, where nothing compared to his parents neglecting his awful behavior and their own as well. If he had different parents, he probably wouldn't been a lowcow, but then again, who knows. He could've still been a lowcow in the end, but probably less worse.

Yeah, he'd always be a bit weird but he could've been functional and at least wouldn't be a lolcow if he had half-way decent parents that taught him responsibility and how to deal with adversity in life.
 
Being a lolcow is a choice. These people want attention and online infamy. It stimulates the massive ego that basically all of them have. Chris Chan, Wingsofredemption, DarkSydePhil, Low Tier God, YandereDev, and SpoonyOne all claim constantly that "The fuckin Trollz" are ruining their lives and that they're nothing but evil, sick, cyberbullies. They bitch and moan about them nonstop and belly ache about how they'd be soo much happier without the trolls "ruining everything" for them.

It's a fake victim mindset really. They claim that they want the trolls to stop, yet they constantly make fools out of themselves, and they put no effort to change themselves because they KNOW deep down they'd be nothing without them, so they CONSTANTLY give them attention. Continuing the cycle endlessly for more views, clicks, money, and attention.

Occasionally certain lolcows, (for example Sammyclassicsonicfan and Mariotehplumber) turn out to be trolls, or at the very least turn their lives around and stop acting like fucking retards. Others get arrested and basically yanked from the internet for their abhorrent behavior (like Nick Bate). You could also argue that some mass shooters are "failed lolcows" in the case of people like @FuckYou and Randy Stair. Both those dudes are definitely lolcow material, they just never really reached that point and instead they chimped out.

Generally speaking, if a lolcow is aged 18ish or older, there really is no hope for them to ever be a "Normal" person or live a normal healthy life. They'll always be fucked in some aspect. These people are everywhere: Gang Members, Drug Addicts, Incels, Pedophiles, Radical Militants and Terrorists, only difference is they (usually) don't engage in stupid internet fame shit.

TLDR: Lolcows are to point and laugh at, nothing more, you cannot change them.
 
Most lolcows are genetic mistakes that have compounded their problems and are laughed at for others' enjoyment. These lolcows will never end up being a respected member of society, or any of that just-world fallacy nonsense. They exist to be laughed at, and then that treatment leads to further irrational behavior, the circle of lolcowism.

At best, these lolcows can end up being forgotten about by the people laughing at them. But, is it better to be boring with nobody paying attention to you, or embrace that some people at least care about you enough to laugh at your misfortune?

Then there's some lolcows like Spoony that got their status due to fucking up so much that they wasted glorious opportunities in life that we wish could have had. Obviously, these people have chances.
 
In general no. Their lifestyle/family/friends helped them into cowdom.

I agree partially. Even if Bob had somehow managed to prevent 14 BLC from turning into a hoarder's paradise, Chris's naivety and gullible nature would've still made him a lolcow. Just not so much of one that he'd have forums and an entire wiki set up to document his every action.
 
Whenever someone brings this up, I just recall Samuel Thomas A.K.A Sammy Classic Sonic fan.

That kid had all this signs and markings of being a lolcow; autism, loved sonic, posted his cringy shit on the Internet. By all accounts it seemed like he was predestined to have a thread here, but then jis parents stepped in and banned him from the Internet for six months, and even after that they limited his Internet access. I'm not sure what else happened behind the scenes, but what I do know it, as of today, Samuel is a fairly well adjusted adult who's currently attending college and shows promise of actually making something of himself. He's not even a social outcast, from what little he posts online now, it seems like he has a fair number of friends, the guy looks normal, fairly well adjusted, and happy too. All this because his parents stepped in at a crucial point in his life and made him get off the Internet for a bit.

I've said this before, but I consider Sammy to be "the good ending" that Chris could have gotten if someone helped him when he need it, and I think that could apply to many lolcows on here. I haven't been here as long as most and haven't visited every thread on the board, but from what I've seen many lolcows have a unifying factor in that, at some point in their past, their life on the Internet became more real/ important to them then their life off it (that's part of the reason why I think society has gotten so stupid lately, but that's another argument). I fully believe that, once a person makes the Internet take priority over the actual, physical world, then all that separated them from being a lolcow is time and exposure. Of course there are some exceptions, but I do believe taking the Internet too seriously is one of the leading "causes" of people devling into cow'dom, especially now-a-days.

To put it short and sweet; I believe many lolcows could be saved if they quit the Internet and anything related to their life on the Internet for a while and go outside.
 
Yes. And you should lead the way by devoting your time and energy to save one.
 
Certainly. Jesus died for everyone, including lolcows.

The problem is not can cows be saved, but will cows be saved. Many cows live without knowledge of God or salvation, having been raised in a godless, Luciferian society. Whether it is possible for people who do not know God to be saved, or for people who only know God tangentially, through history books and hostile stories written by atheists that they heard in their childhood, I can't say. Certainly, I suspect that many of them (troon cows and journalists especially) will not be, but for their sake I hope I'm wrong.

He was poked at by goons before they realized he was actually pretty cool and began tucking tail like the hypocritical faggots they are. Nothing has really influenced Nick beyond his own influences, as he developed (relatively) effective coping strategies very early on. Contrast with Christina, who was spoiled from the start, and went on to form a worldview of desperate entitlement to the point of believing (s)he was owed nothing short of fortune, fame, and of course a girlfriend, simply for existing. CWC's entire life is a cautionary tale in how not to cope. On the other hand, Nick actually taught himself useful skills, and despite being a rather useless person himself, had used what he learned to an impressive degree. He is a true worldcrafter and visionary. His cognitive abilities are beyond those of mere mortals, as his genuine passion for knowledge has allowed him to understand his interests from an earnest and genuine vantage point. Christina, however, does not and will probably never have the basic humility required to learn from their mistakes and therefore foster a mindset in which actual learning is possible.
