Like, those who are milked for laughs, but also constantly are like “Oh no, what did they do now”? without reaching the cosmic horror levels of a horror cow, even if they have done fucked up shit.
For example: Onision, iiluminaughthii, Dalas Review.
I think a horror cow is someone, often a lolcow, whose life becomes more horrifying than funny to watch. Like finding out about Chris Chan and his mom. Or watching in real time as KingCobraJFS’s body and mind succumb to his alcoholism, nicotine addiction, exposure to unventilated spray paint, and consumption of horrifying foodstuffs.
