Nice Things About Lolcows -

[TheMightyMonarch]

So I kinda stole this from the ADF sub board. Basically in here, we try to be as optimistic and idealistic about every lolcow that isn't ADF (because he already has his own thread). I'll start.

Nick Bate has made me pay attention to the hygiene of my teeth more.
I'll admit that when I feel really shitty, most lolcows make me feel better about my own life and the choices I'd made so far.

What "artists" like Andrew Dobson, CWC, and the people featured on the dA Horrors topic have shown me is that I really got to start drawing more.

 

[House Of Reeves]

Enter and those mentioned in the angry critics has given me some helpful insight into what not to do in terms of reviewing things online.

 

[Silvana]

TranLord has shown me the importance of not prefacing all my statements by saying I like the idea of fucking dogs.

*ducks to avoid the hail of rotten vegetables*

I've learned that it's important to be confident in one's own abilities. TJ Church is resolute in his belief that he's a good linguist. While he's clearly wrong, I have to admire his determination in spite of him being at odds with the Farms, LitErotica, and reality.

I think many Christorians would see CWC's antics as a cautionary tale of why one should let their childhood and grudges go.
In fact, that seems to be a common sentiment.

It can be disturbing for me to look back on things I did or said (particularly if there was no immediate regret or shame) that in way some stack-up with OPL.

Except most of us are capable of learning and can catch ourselves out if we lapse. Chris was not bad as a barometer pre-op.

Phil has lots of knowledge about road signs, public transit systems and street maps. That's his only positive aspects.

Gonterman taught me the value of self-awareness and personal reflection. He did this, ironically, by backsliding.
Golden Knight taught me how you can almost come close to improving yourself, and ultimately fuck it all up - a critical lesson in hubris.
Dobson taught me why it's critical to never allow yourself to rot. No one wants to be Dobson.
Chris taught me why it's important to let go of old grudges and seek a better way.

 

[OtterParty]

Mr Enter taught me that he isn't a lolcow

 

[Centipede]

The fact that Chris is still alive after thirty years suggests that the world isn't as harsh as we think it is.

 

[cypocraphy]

I learned more about autism thanks to Chris.

Well some lolcows are merely just a bit weird, they're not all Sick Nicks and PKs or even Dobsons.

Of course, that doesn't really apply to horrorcows so...

 

[Abethedemon]

Lolcows are not afraid to express themselves. They are free spirits in action.

 

[Zvantastika]

From what I've seen, lolcows have an insane (literally) perseverance which means they are really dedicated, that's something that not everybody has and I consider it like a good trait in a person.

If only they focus that perseverance in something actually good instead of crazy ideas or antics, they would be admirable in a good way.

 

[Da Pickle Monsta]

The folks featured on KiwiFarms serve as a daily reminder of the importance of getting a good education, taking care of your body, keeping outspoken opinions to yourself and keeping your embarrassing things off the internet.

 

[chimpburgers]

Some lolcows like Mr. Burgers, UncleSamPatriot, and Half-Dude seem to be decent people IRL but just have done some out of the norm things online or made up a whole overexaggerated persona online like ArchieLuxury has. There are even some cows that have been capable of change, though those have been largely the minority of the ones covered on the site.

Kengle motivates me to learn other skills so I don't end up being a low skilled bookkeeper like him one day. He's what happens when you wait too late in life to try to learn new things so I want to make the best of my time now before I get older.

DSP and Dobson and their tardraging on Twitter really remind me of why I'm not on those social networking sites as much anymore.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

Iconoclast shows us what can happen if you obsess too much over the past - especially in holding onto old grudges.

 

[Remilia]

They help with self esteem. I mean, whenever you feel like the worse person ever, just remind yourself "Nick Bates exists"

 

[Stoned Age]

Mr. Enter really helps you control anger. Because when you get really angry at something, just remember "Atleast you aren't wanting to hurt people because they made a bad episode of a kids show"

When Jace started going really downhill it pushed me to start standing up to my schizo buddy about the stuff he imagines. It's strained our friendship but he's finally started getting some help.
