Lolgurment
A portmanteau of “lolcow” (an internet target of sustained mockery) and “argument.” It describes a particularly toxic form of online debate where the goal is not to exchange ideas or even to win through attrition, but to treat the opponent as a lolcow—someone to be ridiculed, farmed for outrage, and publicly humiliated. In a lolgurment, the attacker’s primary weapon is contempt: they respond with laughing emojis, screenshots, and call‑out posts designed to make the opponent look absurd. Any substantive point is ignored or twisted into further “proof” of the opponent’s foolishness. Lolgurment transforms debate into a spectacle, where the audience is invited to laugh at the target rather than evaluate arguments.
Example: “He didn’t engage with her data; he just posted clown emojis and called her a lolcow. The thread became a lolgurment—mockery masquerading as debate.”
