Which lolcow do you pity? - Name the one you think is unfortunately funny

Bazaine dijo:
I think there's something rather poignant about that whole set of people who have some kind of developmental delay; have completely failed to launch; and who just sit around all day drawing trains in MS Paint or writing Pooh's Adventures scripts, or whatever. I'm thinking mainly of Deviantart people here but I'm sure they have equivalents all over the internet. The fact that like, this is it for them: this tiny circle of repetitive behaviours is their entire life, and often they don't even have the perspective to know how futile of a situation they're in. Or sometimes they do know, and feel bad about it, but just don't have the metal equipment to know how to get better. Your neetbux-dependent incel 'channer at least has no illusions whatsoever that he's a fuckup. Whereas so many of these guys can't comprehend just how impotent they are, and they'll just continue down the same tracks until their parents die or they fall off welfare or whatever.

Seconding this. I genuinely feel bad for a lot of lolcows who do this sort of stuff and are so far gone that trying to get them to stop or intervene in their fantasy worlds would actually be worse than letting them be manchildren. One in particular that comes to mind is Jack Deakin/TheBuzzProductions/HouseofFrancis - he genuinely believed that his Kate Ashby series was going to be award-winning and Augustin Burger was a real restaurant which not only served amazing food, but also where all his favourite cartoon characters went to get a bite. It was pathetic to say the least, but I couldn't help but pity him in the end. Being obsessed with things like Postman Pat and Cbeebies shows is no way to live.
 
I don't really pity anyone that's still alive, but the closest I'd say I come to is Doug Walker, and even then it's just sympathy. He's incompetent and unfunny as all hell, but I definitely feel for his inability to get away from the Nostalgia Critic persona.

I could see he really liked doing Demo Reel, and I know how awful it is for you to fail at your passion, though his attempts of "I can do it better" made me feel worse.
 
Another vote from me for the scizocows. I find them more depressing than funny - what made them lolcows was misfortune rather than bad personalities or poor choices.

Chris is one for me. In many ways, he’s an asshole. But he’s also an untreated autist raised by dogshit parents who thought they could just ignore his obvious problems.

This one might be a bit controversial, but Fire. He has many, many faults and I’m not going to pretend he’s likeable, but he knows, deep down, that trooning out was a colossal mistake. Yet at the same time, he can’t bring himself to admit this to himself, because he hopes that somehow it’ll all work out the way they said it would. It’s the sunk costs fallacy at work.
 
Anna Storelli - an undergraduate from UC Davis. Little did she know that she had a ticking time bomb in her head that was schizophrenia. Her 15 minutes of fame was her being a Youtube laughingstock.

And those "erotic" videos of her dancing naked trying to look sexy to attract someone and failing miserably at it, like some frumpy old housewife trying to save her marriage.

She is doomed.
 
Contrapoints and Doodletones
both are people equally liked and hated and have at times been in drama or misunderstandings
but I still quite like their work,Doodletones got me into making rants and Contrapoints helped me out of a centrist hell I was in a few years ago, some of their videos have helped teach me some things and have taught me how to be more constructive in how I give my opinions in a discussion or debate
I can relate to them in certain aspects, we both like Art, Music but we also are quite self-deprecating, nihilistic,erratic and
I can understand where they're coming from, I know that doesn't excuse their negative actions but I'm not perfect either
 
Anyone with a basically incurable mental handicap. There are people who are just kind of willfully stupid or are Dunning-Kruger exemplified or are possessed of such unwarranted pride in themselves that they're damn well lolworthy but with mentally ill or handicapped types there's a certain amount of sadness there. They're funny at times to be sure, but I think I'd almost rather they be fully functional and not humorous than the opposite. There's plenty of dipshits who have no excuse for their state to laugh at in the world, honestly.
 
Burn Book dijo:
Luna Slater. Either just her mum or both of her parents used to be drug addicts as well, and it's through her mum that she met her pedo heroin addict boyfriend. She doesn't have a winner's personality, but she never had much of a chance.

no pity. She had a chance.

Samantha Bushart, though. She's literally tarded. It's a bad kind of hilarity.

I think Chris has been this insane from the beginning. He's certainly always talked about other dimensions and shit.

I can't really find it in myself to blame Chris for the way he is. Guy is blatantly on the spectrum, but his parents did absolutely nothing to help him cope with his disability or set limits on him. Dude went from being a weird autist sharing his weird Sonichu fantasies to transitioning to Christine. Largely thanks to trolls. What fucking set of parents wouldn't see this shit happening and pull the plug?

It always felt like to me that his parents were just brow-beaten from raising a mentally handicapped child for his entire life and just said fuck it to his weird online escapades. That and Barb is pretty fucked up herself.

I thought the Count Dankula interview with him was superb.
 
I really pity Spoony to be honest.

Guy had infinite potential as an entertainer and he always seemed so enthusiastic doing the things he did, even till 2014. And he wasted all of it. He is really another one of those victims (and i use the term victim losely) where the fame just got too much for him.

On one positive note though, he left Channel Awesome early enough to get out of the trashfire.

which lolcow do you feel a little sorry for as much as you are entertained by them?

Everything I post about Nyk/ContraPoints here is basically a combination raw sashimi bemusement with a tiny small wasabi smear of pity on the side for the burn. I don't want to pity Nyk because he has chosen to do this to himself, he openly stated that his trooning out is a suicide mission, also he's a Youtube millionaire who could easily seek help for his problems but chose not to despite his wealth giving access to the best therapists and psychiatrists in the world, so he's undeserving of pity, but sometimes I can't help but notice how sad he looks. Then I remind myself that he's just a self-hating extreme narcissist and I inevitably have to LMAO again at him being such a ridiculous paradox wasting everyone's time with his stupid "public intellectual" bullshit and mindless self-indulgence.
 
Maybe controversial, but Amberlynn Reid. Like yes she has a shitty personality and surrounds herself with enablers, and yes she's an addict and therefore firmly in the grip of her elaborate self-deceptions...but the consequences of her character flaws are that she's crippled and grotesquely disfigured, and will likely be so for the rest of her life. And now she's looking at middle adulthood, and her health is just going to keep spiraling. Part of me has no pity because I know she brought it on herself to a large degree, but at the same time, does anyone deserve to live like that?
 
I can never bring myself to not feel bad for Chris.

Like yeah, he’s nuts and has done some stupid shit, but the past few years, after seeing how nasty and terrible certain people are on the internet, Chris just reminds me of a small child who doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing. And deep down, all he wanted was to find a romantic partner and to have sex, which I can’t really blame him for.

Wogglebuglover is someone who is at least trying to make something positive of herself, it’s just she does it in an ass-backwards way. Doesn’t help she supposedly got molested at a young age so that probably fucked her up badly.

Edit: Wow, this comment has aged poorly.
