And why is this an issue? She enjoys negative attention, and will never improve as a person or find happiness as long as she seeks it. We provide negative attention, because she's a shitty person who should be laughed at. Far as I can tell, there's nothing at stake on our end. She needs to be denied it if she's going to improve, yes, but I'm uncertain of when lolcow rehab became our responsibility. Bear in mind that regardless of whether or not she enjoys it, it ultimately feeds a self-destructive impulse in her. I'm not sure that qualifies as playing into her hand.
I mean, hell, IDCP loves her victim narrative too, but that's not going to stop my laughing at her.
I think this is something of a central problem with regards to the Tumblr forum in general, and it's partially the fault of the Vade thread setting the tone.
Threads here quickly devolve from laughing at the lolcow to being just another Tumblr-style callout, with Tumblr refugees piling in to attain some sort of justice and seeking to shame the cow in question for being "problematic" when that's really not what this board is about. Despite being told again and again not to powerlevel people can't help but share their life stories on how the cow's behavior somehow devalues their whole lives and how much what the cow does gets to them. If the cow is the one hurting your feelings, something is very, very wrong.
One takes a whole lot more power away from these people when they make fun of their hypocrisy and desperate attempts at damage control than they ever could by moping and crying about how horrible they are. Yes, with Vade the rabbit hole got a lot more dire as more information was found, but at the end of the day, most Tumblr cows are spoiled white girls acting like toddlers, and such is the case here again. No amount of bitching them out on the internet or trying to shame them is going to fix them, so ridicule them accordingly.
