there's a surprising number of "lolcows" like faye king or CWC which are actually basically collaborative writing projects involving one person donating pictures of themselves while other folks assist in generating content for it. i'm fairly certain the "tails got trolled" guy and i collaborated on one of these in the not too distant past.

edit- fetlife was a hotbed for these, especially the more outre ones. if you ever saw an account which had a few nonspecific photos of a shlumpy looking person accompanied by walls of text about being like the anime tulpa to a horses' pulsating rear end in a top hat, that was one of ours.

One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

Wait, CWC is fake? That’s one I thought was legit.

A low key saga is the CineD poster who went to New Orleans to gently caress some chick but she ended up loving some other dude and he got locked inside a crackhouse and couldn’t get out. I’m pretty sure there was an E/N thread from this poster then they just disappeared.

CWC is a real and very sad person but the internet people who are constantly tormenting her are also extraordinarily sad. for the last many years they've got some kind of hosed up dynamic going on where people will harass CWC very badly by pretending to be her friend, and then some of them become her frenemy, and the only social contact she really gets is from the dozen odd weirdos in the toxic little anti-fan club who can't leave her alone

The real lolcows were the terminally online men and women who wasted the best years of their life laughing at fake pony cum jars we made along the way.

Fred Knudsen did a Down the Rabbit Hole on CWC that I think is pretty fair, or as possibly fair as you could be with one of these eccentrics. At one point he calls Christory something a thing of "distant fascination", which is a good way of putting this video.

Hasn't that been the case since the beginning pretty much? I thought the big assholes have mostly gotten bored of CWC but that was how they obtained a lot of the pictures and TMI knowledge.

i'm not a CWC expert or anything but my sense is that over the last decade it's gone from collecting CWC's online posts/videos to calling her to provoke more posts and videos, to setting up honeypots, to directly interacting with her on a daily basis while she begs her stalkers for money and sells off her personal stuff to then to try to make rent

I'm pretty sure that was a separate thing from what I recall. There was a poster back in like maybe 2013 that had to reference the devil in all of their posts, but I can't remember who it was.

Uli always made me smile, because for all his problems he generally seemed quite cheerful. He was perfectly happy to just sit on the floor and eat his degreased pizza before knocking out an hour long video about how the scrolling worked in a 25 year old Sonic game, or describing every single stall in the background of the fairground level of his weird game. He didn't sit there wallowing, and didn't turn into a hate-filled creep who blamed everything on the women who wouldn't have sex with him and how that was all because the last Ghostbusters movie had women in it.

uli is a gentle creature and the universal online benevolence and goodwill toward him is one of the miracles of our time. honestly cwc deserves the same treatment, she never really did anything unpleasant that couldn't be explained by autism and difficult personal circumstances; just made a cute bad webcomic and got angry at trolls, neither of which justify becoming the victim of an actual years-long gang stalking campaign

While I totally agree that the stalking and harassment were terrible, didn’t cwc draw some pictures of themself basically raping a friend of theirs and post them? And I’m fairly certain there was an assault on a game store owner and some other fairly questionable behavior. I really might be mixing up stories here, but I’m pretty sure cwc wasn’t a completely innocent bystander to their own personal saga.

your honour i submit the defendant should be sentenced to a decade of gaslighting, abuse, and stalking because at some point during it she will become argumentative and abusive toward a store employee in a manner that is totally atypical for autistic people especially under stress.
