A lolcow is a person who has attracted an internet following for being weird (typically due to a mental disability) in public. What then makes them a lolcow is that they haven't developed proper self awareness or a detachment between their public persona and private life, and some group of people has decided to gather around them more to "see what weird shit they'll do next" than to be genuine fans of whatever work they do or content they produce.
What isn't a Lolcow? Chuck Tingle. He's almost definitely a weirdo in real life too, but there's a clear separation between the real person and the character, and he's aware he's performing a bit. The same could be said for most "WoWeEeEewee!"-screaming vocal stim ticktockers who gather a following for acting like they are mentally challenged but who most are doing it purposefully because that's the sort of content that sells well, for some reason.
Ngl, I hate fan of both these things. lol
Incredible sentence
