While I doubt this is a new concept to anyone that has spent long enough on this website and others similar I have reached a little bit of a conundrum I wanted to share with the fair denizens of this shithole. There is a thread for those staring at the abyss of cowdom and there is a thread for those that seem are incapable of becoming one due to their self-awareness. Hence:
Often you realise that lolcows have objectives but trough their own doing blossom into cowdom (ex. Dobson wanted to be a Disney idea guy, got big in Deviantart and allowed his talents to deteriorate) while no cows are able to ride the attention they receive into a dedicated following even if it is ironic.
In my not expert opinion, a legend such as Terry A. Davis could be considered a proto-no cow because his following usually came from a place of respect and fascination down the line. Not to mention that the advent of social media has made more obvious the difference from consumers and creators. Hence the second principle of the no cow.
With that out of the way I would like to present you my candidates for no cows and invite you to post your own.
1. Tamers12345
But Dr. Muttlema, I hear you say, he has a thread. But, but, he has to be a troll. I can tell you that I don't give a single fuck if he is for real or not because I have been seeing him for a very long time and if there is someone that proves my point is him. For those out of the loop, Tamers12345 is a youtuber that has spent the last nine years uploading AMVs, vlogs and animations of Sonic Underground and he thankfully is just starting to get some attention. Much has been discussed about how he is an obvious troll, since his level of autism is just unbearable, but you just can't fucking produce this kind of content as a joke for almost a decade just because. Tamers' main line of content are his animations that, for the most part, are supposed to be the continuation of Sonic Underground made on MS Paint, GIMP and text-to-speech for the voices. His longest video to date 'Sonic Underground The Movie: Battle with The Boys' last for over an hour and is legit one of the best shit I have ever seen. Over all this time he has managed to get 10k subscribers and many youtubers have made videos on him to capitulate the lore.

A playlist with the lore videos in order. The second movie is coming soon.
A less complete playlist with only the animations.
2. Lazerbot
But Dr. Muttlema, he also has a thread. A thread that is not even a page long. Lazerbot is the writer and main artist of Tails Gets Trolled, a cornerstone of Internet culture and mentioned by anons as "something you owe yourself yo read at least once". A copyright nightmare featuring classic shounen tropes and self-aware Deviantart humor that grows on you the more you read it with one of the most creative powerups on the Neutrals and some good action composition done in MS Paint. Hardly a new sight for any seasoned veteran.

3. I Chose Hampture
The dream of a self professed mad scientist, The Engineer, to create a utopia for hamsters based on Bioshock's Rapture and Columbia (that came later). The project has been going for a whole decade and has seen major improvements, not without its controversies of course.

If a lolcow can be determined as an individual that is unable to commit to their endeavours for consistently getting of their own way, the opposite must be an no cow. A no cow, in my not expert opinion, is someone that exudes autism trough their endeavours but has the drive and commitment to do them and allow them to be appreciated on their own over themselves.

Dobson wanted to be a Disney idea guy, got big in Deviantart and allowed his talents to deteriorate) while no cows are able to ride the attention they receive into a dedicated following even if it is ironic.

What really separates the geniuses from the rest is the little outliers, and in the age of the Internet there is no bigger outlier than autism both as a barrier and a push to do. Regular cows become content with wasting their existence staring at a screen and avoiding reality in many ways. No cows use the tools they have to create something that can outlive them. One of the key things that makes us sapient is wanting to create a legacy and I think the key factor of a no cow is proceeding with that legacy no matter how out there it might be to us mortals.
