Throughout the Internet, there are the strange, insane, autistic, dumb, and degenerate people who act in ways that make us laugh at their stupid antics. Often times, once they notice us laughing at them, they get furious and sperg our more! They are often unapologetic of their behavior toward others online and offline, and are rightfully called out for it, for the most part.

And then, there are those who we feel just the slightest of sympathy. They are the kind that while unintentionally funny, have one or two screws loose or are the product of the environment they lived in. There are those who, perhaps, if something in their life was different, they would have been functional people.

Now, keep in mind that all answers are opinions, and doesn’t mean everyone endorses it, so don’t have a cow. With that in mind, which lolcow do you feel a little sorry for as much as you are entertained by them?

For me, it’s definitely Terry A. Davis. The man was very gifted in computers, and had a lot of potential in making an impact in programming. However, his mental illness got the best of him, and he became a rambling madman with no control over his impulses. As his thoughts, actions, and word salad was as funny as ever, I had to marvel at this talented man crippled by schizophrenia.
 
I pity most of the cows I follow closely.

Terry I truly pity for having a genuine gift that was essentially destroyed by a degenerative mental illness.

Spoony I pity because he really did used to make me laugh. Unlike some of the TGWTG crowd I can still go back to his old work and find a lot of it both enthusiastic and informative. It's really sad that he's basically locked himself into a self-defeating loop.

MovieBob and Dobson I pity because they will never know joy, or a woman's touch. They're too focused on being pissed off all the time that they never seem to have any damned fun.

And I pity Chuck Wendig because...no, I don't. He sucks and deserves to feel like shit.
 
Erik Mokracek, easily. He's clearly not all there, mentally he's still in first grade. It's just depressing watching a fully grown man just waste his life away essentially making the same picture over and over again. It's also sad seeing the way some people try to upset him. He's not like most other lolcows where they're unpleasant people so trolling them feels justified. Shitting on Erik is like kicking a puppy.
 
Agreed about Terry, obviously, and I'll add Dr. Katherine Horton, for the same reasons. She went from being an Oxford-educated physicist who worked at CERN to a lunatic raving on the Internet due to the onset of schizophrenia. I took a cursory glance at her thread once and haven't investigated it any further because I come here to laugh and her story is just sad.
 
For me it is not so much specific cows as it is types of cow that I feel for. I pity the ones that never got a leg up in life an just kept on deteriorating in their own already fragile mental health. Sure, they are often complete assholes, but I can't help but feel for them on some level. They're just fucked up and destiny set them up to be fucked up.

On the other hand. The cows who became cows after squandering great success are the ones I enjoy the most. There is just a sick sort of fun in watching someone who had everything going for them crash and burn. People like Cosmo Wright, Sargon of Akkad, Doug Walker and so on.
 
Chris Chan.
Even after his attempts at adjusting to normal life, unsuccessful they may be, he still has stupid A-Logs giving him shit.

The classic tale of our hallowed shed princess, Julie be thy name. She was a bitch and messed up as hell, but girl never had a chance at even baseline normal. I look at some cows like her, think what could have been but for circumstances and just feel really sad for them.
 
Are people the product of their environment or is biology the name of the game?

Chris Chan doesn't have either working in his favor. Chris has regularly been retarded, malicious and suspicious but so far hasn't been evil.

Doing the best with what they've been given and that's all you can ask of someone.

It's odd how a ton of really intelligent people seem to go nuts. The Unabomber was a mathematical genius if you want another example.

Maybe schizophrenia helps with creativity and problem solving, or something to that effect.
 
Aaron McCluske. He was just a harmless extremely autistic guy who made lots of weird videos of his life and he got his shit wrecked by the shittiest and dumbest of weeeeeeens.

I agree with you. The only reason I stick around those threads are because of the slightly more functioning autist alogs who make it sort of funny. But goddamn it's depressing to look at his life.
 
Emily Youcis.

I'm legitimately convinced she had meds and replaced them with vitamins and shit. Now she's a Nazi.
 
Terry A. Davis, but... You know.

Erik Mokracek. Not only because of his mental state, but because his a-logs are the worst. He didn't fuck his life, like Wings or DSP, he is not mean or arrogant, but there are people, who wish him the worst, even death, maybe. They were doing it to him not for laughs or to make him sperg out and have a video for their channels to monetize, no, but because they genuinely hate him.

Andy Warski after the shit that Ching-Cheong has pulled out. Just imagine a harmless retard like Andy getting killed by SWAT, because some malaysian asshole doesn't like him.

Kids, who's parents are attention-whores, like Desmond or Schofields.

Ted Kaczynski turned insane because of brainwashing. I guess that’s why he didn’t get the death penalty.

I wouldn't put Kaczynski in the same category as Davis or Horton. His manifesto, and his other writings and reasoning he provided for his actions, are actually quite lucid and well-reasoned enough to be taken seriously by academia. Obviously he was a violent extremist but he wasn't clearly delusional and illogical.

As for the comment about intelligence and schizophrenia, I think popular misconceptions about it have spread because the people who used to be brilliant before suffering from it make for fascinating stories and get a lot of attention. In reality, there are mixed studies on the subject but the people who were generally fuckups who hadn't accomplished anything even before they lost their minds don't get the same notice.
