My only comment is that, in my experience, lolcows tend to be adults. The internet is cruel but there isn’t as much consistent amusement found from children. Part of the lolCOW is that the person doesn’t learn or change, and children are the opposite. They’re expected to be weird, too.
lolcows tend not to have irl friends---this is why they're so chronically online. might be interesting if these are 3 separate stories whose paths eventually cross instead. if they had each other to lean on from the start, they'd have an easier time unplugging, and therefore that critical part of the story would fall apart
more people are addressing this; i feel the weight being taken off of my shoulders because despite the other comments about lolcows being mainly adults, I have had sometimes where I could’ve been made fun of online for having trouble with mental problems, where I went almost delusional & said some things that could be taken as silly or weird.
I have also faced bullying due to being autistic as a kid, & I know that there’s people that look at my weird my whole life, but especially as a kid & as a teenager when my problems reached their worst after 2020 after the pandemic when I was stuck inside for about a month basically.
