Lolcow is a term used to describe individuals who showcase unusual and detrimental behavior to their own selves and/or the community they inhabit.

Lolcows tend to have cults of personality surrounding them, where instead of worshiping the person, the cult members seem to worship the idea of making fun of the lolcow.

Etymology

People who are considered lolcows have existed since the dawn of the internet and may be confined to small secluded communities or gain popularity among the broader internet. The term itself has been popularised by sites like KiwiFarms and Encyclopedia Dramatica, who document information on these individuals. The name refers to the idea of an individual who can be "milked for laughs", which emphasizes how many of these people are unintentionally funny for their antics, albeit depending on the individual, a lolcow might cause clitty leakage and outrage onto onlookers.

Famous reddit quote that explains why there are lolcows in the Soysphere.

On the Soysphere

With a community as vast and diverse as the Soysphere, it was clear that a few lolcows would eventually make their presence known. However with how eccentric the Soysphere and its overall focus on irony and humor, the line is blurry between who is a considered lolcow and who isn't, often depending on personal opinion of each user. Often times, to be universally considered part of the kekcattle, one needs to display traits that are disliked by everyone, such as going against sharty culture or trying to force troonslop. Namefags make up the majority of the lolcows in the 'sphere, specially on SoyBooru, but even the most controversial users like Warrior-Z have some supporters. Jannies are also considered to all be lolcows. To cement the status as a true cow, one needs to convince others that it's he/she is not trying to bait, which is difficult feat by itself.

The only person related to the Soysphere who may truly be considered a lolcow is Lee Goldson, however, since his antics began and finished even before the sharty was founded, this consideration may be, at best, dubious.

Gegbull

Gegbull is a Soysphere exclusive term to refer to lolcows. It was coined a way to differentiate the sharty from other communities and bring the vocabulary closer to soy culture, evidenced by incorporating the term geg which was already used to replace kek. Replacing the "cow" in the name with "bull" is merely a form of oppositefagging, albeit most lolcows are already males either way. The new lingo defeats the purpose of the original term since unlike cows, bulls cannot be milked, but it lead some to make various jokes related to cum in the place of milk. Gegbvll is also often written with the v in place of the u since this already a common trope in soyspeak, such as in trvthnvke.

Milked Dry

THIS PERSON IS AS LIVELY AS A DOORKNOB OR THE KUZZY They have been milked dry and are no longer funny or interesting or are no longer a gegbull.

A lolcow is considered to be "milked dry" when they are no longer funny and can no longer be milked for lulz. This can happen for a number of reasons:

• They kept doing the same thing until it got old.
• They realized that they could solve all of their problems by just turning off the damn computer
• They kept using the internet but they decided to start being normal
• Someone else did something way more embarrassing and all of the lolcow's followers flocked to the new cow
• They got arrested for having 'P on their hard drive and they can't be milked from jail.

You'd think a lolcow would be relieved to no longer be one, but they often miss the attention and try to find a new bit.
