Great people who became lolcows?

Destacado
:thinking:
Don't know if it was anything "great" but Sargon made some pretty solid arguments before he decided he was going to start sucking himself off.
 
Terry A. Davis
Andrew Eldritch
Bing Crosby (well, he was more of a horrorcow)
Jim Cornette
Steve Blum
Hideo Kojima
Rudy Giuliani
Stephen King
 
Curt Schilling. Great baseball player who should be beloved in New England and in the Hall of Fame, instead he's famous for being that guy who blew $100 million of taxpayer money on a failed video game company and got barred from the Hall of Fame because he couldn't stop sperging about politics, muslims, and lynching journalists on twitter.
 
Does Nikola Tesla count? Great guy, he ended up falling in love with a pigeon for some reason. I don't want to say for sure he became a lolcow just because he got fucked over by Edison and I don't know if that was what broke him. Sees kinda unfair to judge the guy when powerful people actively conspired to ruin him by making electricity seem scary to undermine him.

To be fair that videogame was really fucking bad. I thought it looked fun because it seemed like Fable, but more updated. Instead it was a single player MMO, insanely boring.

Harlan Ellison was a great writer, but a bit of an egotist and a lot of batshit crazy

college professor told him that he didn’t have enough talent to be a writer, so for 40 years every time he had a story published, he sent a copy to the professor along with a profanity riddled note

he trademarked his own name

he sent a dead gopher by third class mail to a critic who was negative of his work

he got fired from Disney after less than a day after talking about making a porno flick of the characters while Roy Disney was in earshot

He wrote an entire book that was nothing but him whining about his time as a writer on the failed sci fi show The Starlost

lots of other anecdotes like this. He was a brilliant writer but kind of a lolcow also

Not sure if he was a lolcow or just a colossal bastard.
  1. Got banned from the campus of Texas A&M for calling their Cadet Corps "the next generation of fascists"
  2. Told a fan who sent him adoring fanmail something to the effect of "if you wanted to thank me, you shouldn't have interrupted my work by sending me fanmail"
  3. Groped a woman on stage at some convention
  4. Was a notoriously lawsuit-happy
