No one has seen hide nor hair of him in a few years. Rumor has it his rich parents (i.e. the ones who gave him the means to spend his days crying and moaning on Twitter and DeviantART) forced him to stop using the internet by way of threatening to cut off financial support because the drama he's accumulated over the years ended up costing his more successful brother a very lucrative job.
I'm not making anything up. I freely stated that this was just an assumption of mine, so its not my problem if you read "I'm assuming" and think "I choose to believe this and will repeat this assumption."

My bad, people just freely parrot the whole "Dobson caused his brother to lose a job offer due to his online reputation so his parents forbade him from going online" rumor that I thought you were just stating that as fact

>Dobson caused his brother to lose a job offer due to his online reputation
I've seen some truth to that, but I don't save those kind of screencaps.
The assumption is that his brother was going into a high-paying government job (what exactly it was, we don't know) and it required the family to be checked out to make sure they don't have any secrets that could be exploited for classified information/government funding, and whether or not the rest of the family passed or failed, Andrew Dobson is the fricking motherload of exploitable blackmail content, and once his rich parents found out that: (a.)Dobson potentially cost his brother his job and (b.)he's probably way more of a degenerate than they thought he was, they cut off his internet and are most likely forcing him to normalize himself
now whether that's true or not, that's up for debate, as it's just an unsubstantiated rumor, but his brother did at least leave his job back in Sept. 2021, so there's a kernel of truth in there
It’s a stupid rumor. We have high profile politicians that have straight up murdered people themselves as a matter of public knowledge and no one cares. The idea that somebody didn’t get to be a fed because his brother was kicked off twitter is silly.

that's the thing, those guys are high profile, everything in their lives are documented immaculately by the public and the feds, and the ones that you're talking about feel no shame or regret, so they're pretty much blackmail-proof ("Pfft, you caught me fricking a 14 year old rentboy? Post it on Pornhub, I wanna see the metrics, maybe I can segue into adult films.")
Low-profile politicians or security for the senator or even IRS auditors, they don't have the same amount of media leeway or lack of ethics to make it not matter, and Dobson DEFINITELY doesn't have the ability to ignore somebody threatening to besmirch his name, he's too much of a narcissist, he would probably steal government secrets if he was told (which is wildly illegal, even if it's low-level shit,) as long as nobody finds out about his own secret fetish shit
fbfp. the only misunderstanding was thinking he's autistic or whatever and he was being bullied for it, when he really was just a sociopathic narcissist
To be fair, 95% of critique given via normie channels is just shippers trying to get their ship made canon. Usually with the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face.
To be fair, I think his point is that criticisms made about one season of animation can really only be received and processed by the animators by the time a third season is rolling out, which may or may not even happen.
Of course, knowing that this is Dobson, the point he thinks he's making is "don't offer criticism."
Yeah, the kid isn't even saying something like "I didn't like episode 6 so next episode you should do blah blah". He just says he didn't like it, and the animator is basically saying "Too bad, kid! We're already working on season 2 so your criticism is worthless and we reject it!" I also think Dobson is saying you can't criticize any type of media because it's already been made and you can't get it changed so why bother complaining?

Listen homosexuals you want a fair go to the pride parades dressed as a Lubey the clown who likes anal.
Shut the frick up and take a criticism like a man.
He's so autistic that he thinks "I don't like the thing" means "PLEASE FIX IT NOW, THIS INSTANT"; because that's his meaning when he uses the phrase.
The truth is you can criticize whatever you like, and in fact many things hundreds of years old get criticism all the time.
Frick him, let me rest from seeing his name. He can rot.
He's one of those people no one should ever know about.
But it's fun shitting on him, he's one of my art inspirations in the sense that I don't want to be him.
It's only fun if you're some kind of pathetic piece of shit yourself.
No one inspired by the likes of him in any way will ever be more than a waste of space and information.
>It's only fun if you're some kind of pathetic piece of shit yourself. >lolcow followers are as moronic as lolcows themselves
You cracked the code. Not that the code was unknown at this point.
>Brocken clock is right two times blablabla.
Out of curiosity was Dobson ever right about anything?
My greatest take away from what I know of Dobson is that was miraculously never right about literally anything, even a person trying to be wrong all the time would eventually mess up and be right on accident occasionally but Dobson from what I saw defied statistical expectations.
He’s almost right, but for the wrong reasons. Some cartoon fans, especially younger ones, are sometimes under the mistaken impression that their social media posts about a cartoon episode effect the outcome of a nearby future episode, and could do with a reminder that the next season was probably already completed by the time the one they were reacting to aired. The point shouldn’t be “and that’s why criticism is always completely pointless,” but more like “no, the creators didn’t make the ship you hate just to spite you/not make it just to appease you- the decision was already made before you even got to form an opinion, when they had no idea what you would think. You shouldn’t take it personally.”
Dobson however, who likes to parrot ideas without understanding them, seems to be missing the point entirely. I think he is instead trying to justify a point he’s made in the past about his own art, about how criticizing any one of his own individual works is pointless because they’re already completed, and he’s not going to go and redo them. I remember he reacted that exact way to a comment on a Steven Universe fancomic he once made. He comes off almost as incapable of understanding the concept of learning from one’s mistakes and using criticism to improve himself in the future.
>He’s almost right >change 90% of the argument to save it. >makes massive implications on what the audience wants when the complain >target one specific part of the audience
and even your argument is quite frail due to Sonic 1 and the new Rugrats massive changes to be honest
I don't the Sonic 1 situation is the same. For Sonic 1 all they did was change the model. The script stayed the same, the effects stayed the same, the actors stayed the same, the story stayed the same, etc. That's a whole lot different from rewriting a whole episode.
When people complain about a show, not only do they wish for it to be corrected in future episodes(Best example being the sonic movie. Just because something is "in production" doesn't mean it can't be improved upon reception from previous releases) but also future shows will know that "people stopped paying attention after season1 of that show because of these issues here"
Also that "9-12 months" is bullshit in the first place. A LOT of time during these months is spend on stuff like planning and rights issues, not on the actual production time.
>Was Dobson misunderstood?
No. He was just wrong. Criticism can always be used regardless of it coming late. I'm not really sure what the point of this comic is. If criticism comes late, don't bother? What if a cartoon is still making the same mistake it made nine to twelve months ago? Still don't bother because episode 6 was a long time ago?
he doesn't look very angry or moronic tho. yeah he's bald but it doesn't look like one of those leave her alone type caricatures. at worst he looks too old to be reading comics on the internet
I think Dobson was trying to say people should be aware of his struggles as a creator and not hold him accountable for lashing out or perhaps to cease mocking him entirely. Batching and blame-throwing as usual.
Or something wrong. Considering he wrote "critical comment" but he's reacting like he's getting hate comments. Maybe he is just a thin skinned little b***h if he's reacting to that over what even he considers to e criticism.
>Oh no I deliberately posted my mediocre work on a public internet portal that literally asks people to comment on it and now I am being FORCED to see peoples' honest opinions of my subpar content. How could this be happening to me?
Why do we all hate Dobson again? expansion isn't that bad of a fetish, tons of people made bad webcomics and his sjw views aren't too out of the ordinary. The worst thing you can say is the way he present these things are a bit cringe, but since when had that been a crime?
Here's my one complaint: In the first comic, he looks older than the second comic. Is this him being hypocritical or just aging and out growing shitty habits?
Yeah, so that computer comic isn't hypocrisy. Its the kind of life development we should want to see in people. There's better examples of Dobson's hypocrisy though.
He also didn't draw it right; the image shows it's offering him to send an invite to the bully, not bully sending him one. Dobby can't even draw his "revenge" fantasies properly.
He does, but you also have to understand his particular breed of autism. He is ALWAYS the victim. No matter what the interaction, he is wronged somehow.
https://i.imgur.com/hBJmBSE.jpg
Was Dobson misunderstood?
People are critical of TV shows? This offends him as an artisté, because he understands how The Industry works.
People criticize him, there's 0% chance they're being constructive, there's 0% chance he can learn anything, it's just people being mean to him.
[...]
[...]
He sends something completely inappropriate to someone mourning her dead father? People on the internet are being mean to him when he was just trying to bring a smile to her face by posting a funny meme that people took out of context.
Etc. His every human interaction is a source of misery, because he interprets everything as a personal attack, and he makes it worse for himself by being a c**t about it.
Probably but here is a kicker of a thought. Consider how he portrays the bullies. Are these really your typical high school bullies or were these other nerds or outcasts who just got tired of him pushing his views on everyone at an early age.
He has a child's mindset to this day. He always sees himself not only as right but the pure point of being factual. Even when you point out why he is wrong he not only refuses to understand why, but he believes you are just showing more reason why you are wrong. I am certain he probably had a chat about video games with other kids and demanded they stop calling her Princess Peach and got the reality check but with no awareness of why it is a reality.

He thinks a comic shop owner was being mean to him because they didn't have an 80s manga. He thinks game store employees were being mean to him because he went in there when the sign said they were closed and asked if they had video games when they were playing D&D. He probably wasn't even bullied, they just didn't kiss the ground he walked on and he got his feefees hurt.
Yeah, so that computer comic isn't hypocrisy. Its the kind of life development we should want to see in people. There's better examples of Dobson's hypocrisy though.
>Why do we all hate Dobson again?
His three biggest crimes were:
1.selling himself as puritanical, defending women against sexism yet was doing his inflation-lesbian-murder-porn.
2. Zelda Williams
3. blogging about spending the holidays at his then girlfriends house and being pissy that they were israeli and he felt cheated out of Christmas, even though they took the time and effort to put some Christmas decor up jut for him.
She made a Twitter post about how much she missed her dad and how it's been hard dealing with his death. Dobson responds with a post of Female Thor saying "Calm thine breasts", which pisses a LOT of people off, Zelda included. Dobson later posts "I told Zelda Williams to calm her breasts, and people didn't like that. I'm sorry you all found it so offensive.", then later admits he didn't understand why everyone was so mad at him and assumed it was just trolls being trolls.
>1.selling himself as puritanical, defending women against sexism yet was doing his inflation-lesbian-murder-porn.
Probably going to regret this but I'm going to defend him here: Dobson wasn’t doing inflation snuff porn while he was moralgayging. It’s hard to find exact dates now but IIRC, he stopped posting as CattyN somewhere around 2006 and started posting as the blue bear (which is when he started doubling down on the moralgay bullshit) in 2013. In between those two eras was mostly him being boring and giving shitty art advice. So he wasn’t exactly being a hypocrite for that.
The hate started long ago on deviantart and only 33 year old boomers like me remember what that was about. As far as the newbies are concerned it's because he's an SJW and called orange man bad.
Honestly, if Dobson wasn't an egomaniac SJW butthole and had a more likable personality, he could've been well liked and much more famous. The stuff he does in his artwork is what 90 percent of Twitter artists do today anyway and they are well liked for the most part.
Even though Dobson had a habit of tracing, I really like his art, and some of his stuff is legitimately funny. The issue is that he's a lot like Mr Enter where he's too arrogant to be likeable even when he makes content that's pretty good. Rarely.
An early lolcow from the mid-2000's. He's a relic from the DeviantArt days where it was far more about commenting and sharing art than what it is now. Dobson was one of the earliest popular artists on the platform where he positioned himself as a "professional cartoonist" and often made comics to give "advice" to his followers.
His advice and critiques were criticized by actual industry professionals for being poor, and in response he threw hissy fits on DA. This, of course, attracted more and more criticism until his career was basically destroyed and he became a laughing stock. Eventually he came out that he traced worked, he had poor craftsmanship, and drew fetish art.
He unsuccessfully limped from making webcomics to patreon back to webcomics only to stop posting all together.
This is an old comic, but it's my first time seeing it, so I'm justified in responding seriously, despite this being a bait thread.
There is good reason for people to give their feedback on episodes as they air despite it being "a year past development", and that's if the crew is currently working on something that reuses elements from that episode which drew criticism.
Take a look at Gravity Falls and its most reviled episode: Roadside Attraction. People hated this episode for it being Mabel at her most hypocritical. She's always been boy crazy this whole time, but it's Dipper who's in the wrong for just getting girls' numbers on the road and not returning Candy's affections? Ludicrous.
Now, this episode aired in 2015, and the trivia section mentions many of the titular Roadside Attractions were inspired by tourist traps the GF crew visited during the Summer of 2013, the earliest possible point for this episode to have been written.
In APRIL of 2013, several months prior to the Mystery Tour, the episode Boyz Crazy aired, wherein Mabel is struggling with the decision to keep or release a Boy Band back into the wild. There are many moments where her indecision is portrayed as having pros and cons on both sides, despite it being obvious that keeping the band for herself would be extremely selfish. Speaking of, this is not the first time she puts herself ahead of others, just look at Summerween, Little Dipper, or The Time Traveler's Pig. These episodes were well received at the time because they were good, but also because there was the expectation (at least subconsciously) of her growing out of this behavior as the summer went on. For every 20 people who loved Mabel, there had to be at least 3 who wanted her to mellow out, or in rare cases see her head on a pike. These dissenting opinions did end up having an impact on the crew, wherein they doubled down and called the audience idiots for demanding otherwise.
In the end, Dobson is wrong on 3 counts
(cont)
Firstly, because he's Dobson (duh).
Secondly, because this shows that feedback can be given in a timely manner despite the disconnect between airing and production.
And Last, because not only can it impact development, it DOES. Just not always positively, but I suppose that's more up to the showrunners' attitudes regarding their fanbase.
Why have there been so many Dobson threads recently? Not that I mind, As an unironic former fan of his I think he genuinely an interesting person to discuss but it wasn't that long ago threads about him were instantly deleted and now there seems to be one almost every day.
I can only guess his absensse is making his hatefollowers go through withdraw so they are making more threads either in the hopes of getting some new juicy info on him or beating the dead horse that is his older works again and again
I can only guess his absensse is making his hatefollowers go through withdraw so they are making more threads either in the hopes of getting some new juicy info on him or beating the dead horse that is his older works again and again
I've genuinely grown to hate Dobson threads because they give the false impression that he's resurfaced. It's just the same fricking thread about nothing. Nothing's fricking happened and nothing's fricking changed. I don't understand what there is to talk about that's not just repeating the same points.
>y-you're young! and you're quoting modern relevant things! Don't do that you should be old and obsessed with shit that doesn't matter anymore like me!
even "late" critique is still useful as it gives the authors a chance to learn from their past in the next work.
Your critique of ep #6 of season 1 comes when the staff is already working on season 2 episode #8?
It means they will learn from it and avoid to fall in the same errors starting from that episode.
But if you don't give any critique, they will keep repeating the same error forever.
dobson is just moronic, doesn't matter if he's misunderstood or not, his little water brain has come to the conclusion that all criticism is bad, a notion that is often in other narcissistic, dipshit hack writers that don't handle criticism well and turn their work into a means to punish the audience for rejecting him, even though he is the only person wallowing in that misery
Same here Anon. I poke fun at him every now and then but I pretend he’s anything more than goober in terms of how heinous he is. I just think he spoke his mind way more than he should have before he ever did any research on anything.
I had this exact scenario happen in elementary school and I acted like a homosexual. A grade earlier a girl chased me around the playground trying to kiss me because she liked me so much and I made her cry instead. god over 20 something years later and it still hurts to remember /blogposting homosexualry off
I went into full on cooties mode once in middle school and shrieked “Ew! No!” when somebody asked what I’d say if they liked me. I didn’t even have anything personal against them, I was just surprised and assumed they must be making fun of me.
In elementary school, this is appropriate behavior.

In middle school, you should have instantly killed your self right there. No, god should have struck you down where you stood.
It's not a matter of what you deserve or not, it's a matter of how much you call attention to yourself. He wouldn't get HALF the shit he did if he just kept his fat trap shut.
A lot of people get diagnosed later in life so it makes sense.
Controversial opinion here, but I actually didn’t like him that much, and wasn’t strongly affected by his death one way or the other.
But he was Zelda’s father, ffs.
personally i found his free association humor kind of hacky and he's an oscar baiter, but yeah dobson is lucky he hasn't done something straight up illegal with his lack of impulse control
>dobson is lucky he hasn't done something straight up illegal with his lack of impulse control
He’s lucky that his rally cry to assassinate the president wasn’t taken seriously by anyone. Some of the shit he’s said actually could have gotten him into legal trouble, if anyone cared enough about him.
You know there is a middle ground between listening to your fans opinions and following your own vision, you are writting for both yourself and your fans after all.
Not really, even if they are making season 2 they can apply it on season 3, or they can change things that they are doing in season 2, it's not like the mistake is always something big. We can understand but there's no need to act like it's impossible to change something that is not even released
Anon... He's clearly just describing what is happening in the image. It would've made more sense if he used greentext but that's still pretty autistic of you.
>dobson makes a comic about a creep at a con ogling a Power Girl cosplayer and trying to get creepshots of her, coming to her rescue and beating him up >typical beta fantasy shit, nothing special >power girl cosplayer posts her pics from a con, taken by her photog boyfriend >you can see Dobson ogling her in the background
My favorite Dobson thing
He's right, the only thing you can impact as a viewer is, ultimately, whether the show stays on at all, mostly through spending money and possibly empowering a reboot once the IP has gone completely dry.
And why would it anyway? The comic is right, the useful feedback is what's available and appropriate during development, no Batman-Joe fan can help by talking about directorship or pacing. They need line work for the key framers, color feedback for the colorers, production feedback for the outsource managers, shop advice for the storyboarders, none of which can really be given based on the final product, you have to be there and looking over the shoulders at the time.
This seems like a fairly good message for three panels, it's incomplete but not inaccurate.
No, the scenes from the original trailer were likely the only scenes that were completely finished and it's much easier to rework ONE character design while still keeping the same poses he had in the trailer than what people want in tv shows which is to completely rework scripts, scenes, animations, among other things which in the end is just a completely different plot than what you started out with
does he think anytime someone criticizes anything, they're expecting some sort of live action sonic shit where the studio's like "uhhhh frick it we've gotta do it all over"? doesn't he realize people can just go "eeeh i didn't like it" and move on?
also funny how he's really trying his damnest not to draw that kid like an ugly moron. only leaving in the "i am silly" crossed eyes.
>does he think anytime someone criticizes anything, they're expecting some sort of live action sonic shit where the studio's like "uhhhh frick it we've gotta do it all over"? doesn't he realize people can just go "eeeh i didn't like it" and move on?
Friendly reminder that Jeffrey Katzenberg didn't know shit about animation when he became top dog on Disney and demanded the Black Cualdron to be changed thinking it was as easy as re shooting scenes in live action.
The last panel he posted did seem like it was the conclusion to an arc, so I think there may be a possibility he didn’t make more. But it also seems like an odd thing to lie about. I really doubt he had finished the entire comic before he started posting, though.
The same thing every comics and cartoons creator thinks when they make this kind of character, "I can score multiple woke points at once and then I'll be immune to criticism!"
Exactly, but that exact lack of awareness is why he felt justified in posting his stuff on the internet in the first place. He thought, "Everyone in my life is just mean to me. All my opinions and art should be online, where everyone will love them because I'm right and everyone else is wrong!"
You have to understand, Dobson is not just a narcissist, he is an AUTISTIC narcissist. He wants praise and admiration from people he honestly and truly does not and can never understand, and when he does not get that praise and instead receives backlash he is quite literally incapable of seeing it as anything other than an attack on him personally. It would almost be pitiful, if he wasn't such a waste of oxygen.
That anon wasn't defending Dobson, he's just outlining Dobson's logic in why sending Zelda Williams "Calm Thine breasts" in response to her mourning her dad was appropriate and why HE'S the victim and not just an butthole
>misunderstood
I mean kind of, in a way, yes. Because he's plainly autistic but doesn't realize it, so he can't imagine you not feeling the same way as him about utterly weird bullshit like his fixation on Link's hair or inflation porn
> is a massive reddit beta?
We're talking about an inflation fetishist, Anon. Why would I care that some other guy is a reddit beta? I unironically care more that the Captchas are now 6 characters instead of 5.
Did SU episdoes really take 9-12 months? From the little I've seen of it (webms posted here) there is nothing that looks like it needed to take so long per episoe.
Probably the standard 4-8 week production per episode in the US, then 6-9 months getting animated. All of this happens concurrently and there are usually a few episodes in active production at any given time.
>Animation can't be criticized because it takes a long time >unlike other forms of entertainment which clearly only happen days before they air
This is fricking dumb even by Dobson standards.
Maybe at one point. But somewhere along in his life the guy plugged his ears and stopped listening. Once that happened, he effectively ceased to learn and his conclusions were rightly scrutinized.
Haha, I forgot about the whole "my art teacher bullied me because he HATED CARTOONS" thing.
I think the funniest thing about Dobson is that he legitimately could have achieved the level of success that everyone around him achieved if he didn't have his gigantic ego to prevent him from burning bridges and actually improving his art. Like, the Zelda Williams fiasco actually destroyed what little clout he had left at that point, and if he had properly apologized he could have salvaged his cartooning "career", but instead he passive-aggressived his way onto an unofficial industry blacklist.
I mean, the fact that he gave up the moment Disney closed their 2D division after Treasure Planet bombed probably did him no favors. Plus he's a major antisocial autist, so even if he DID get a job in industry out of college, he'd be practically unhireable
You think lolcows could earn more goodwill by doing stuff like this? I think so, but the first prerequisite would be for them to accept that they're the joke in this case, and I don't think they can.
Essentially, isn't that Nostalgia Critic's thing? Would he qualify as a lolcow? I know he's done some awful reviews, done terrible things beyond that, and is essentially a laughingstock online, yet people rarely give him shit directly for some reason.
I think because he's kept his personal views of things generally out of sight, and also because he's fricking stupid when it comes to most things. Like how he made a joke in that one old TMNT review that Splinter sounded like he "smoked a carton of malboros every day" and his audience called him out that the joke was in poor taste because the actor had recently died of lung cancer, and Doug took that to mean "I can't make jokes about this guy or people will b***h at me"
Yeah that was a simple case of "dude too soon." and yet he somehow made everyone else to be unreasonable. It was probably a simple mistake and apologizing in that case wouldn't have been a show of weakness.
No, he was an butthole.
FIPPTYBIBBITY
>was
what happened to him? Died? Disapeared from internet?
No one has seen hide nor hair of him in a few years. Rumor has it his rich parents (i.e. the ones who gave him the means to spend his days crying and moaning on Twitter and DeviantART) forced him to stop using the internet by way of threatening to cut off financial support because the drama he's accumulated over the years ended up costing his more successful brother a very lucrative job.
>costing his more successful brother a very lucrative job.
How?
By being a homosexual online, so other homosexuals wanted to frick with his family? That's what I'm assuming.
This is unproven and should not be paraded around as fact. Seriously, we don't need to make up rumors in order to dunk on Dobson
I'm not making anything up. I freely stated that this was just an assumption of mine, so its not my problem if you read "I'm assuming" and think "I choose to believe this and will repeat this assumption."
My bad, people just freely parrot the whole "Dobson caused his brother to lose a job offer due to his online reputation so his parents forbade him from going online" rumor that I thought you were just stating that as fact
>Dobson caused his brother to lose a job offer due to his online reputation
I've seen some truth to that, but I don't save those kind of screencaps.
The assumption is that his brother was going into a high-paying government job (what exactly it was, we don't know) and it required the family to be checked out to make sure they don't have any secrets that could be exploited for classified information/government funding, and whether or not the rest of the family passed or failed, Andrew Dobson is the fricking motherload of exploitable blackmail content, and once his rich parents found out that: (a.)Dobson potentially cost his brother his job and (b.)he's probably way more of a degenerate than they thought he was, they cut off his internet and are most likely forcing him to normalize himself
now whether that's true or not, that's up for debate, as it's just an unsubstantiated rumor, but his brother did at least leave his job back in Sept. 2021, so there's a kernel of truth in there
It’s a stupid rumor. We have high profile politicians that have straight up murdered people themselves as a matter of public knowledge and no one cares. The idea that somebody didn’t get to be a fed because his brother was kicked off twitter is silly.
that's the thing, those guys are high profile, everything in their lives are documented immaculately by the public and the feds, and the ones that you're talking about feel no shame or regret, so they're pretty much blackmail-proof ("Pfft, you caught me fricking a 14 year old rentboy? Post it on Pornhub, I wanna see the metrics, maybe I can segue into adult films.")
Low-profile politicians or security for the senator or even IRS auditors, they don't have the same amount of media leeway or lack of ethics to make it not matter, and Dobson DEFINITELY doesn't have the ability to ignore somebody threatening to besmirch his name, he's too much of a narcissist, he would probably steal government secrets if he was told (which is wildly illegal, even if it's low-level shit,) as long as nobody finds out about his own secret fetish shit
fbfp. the only misunderstanding was thinking he's autistic or whatever and he was being bullied for it, when he really was just a sociopathic narcissist
>you can't criticize something that was made a while ago
What's the point of this exactly?
weirdly these type of people do nothing but judge the past. kind of a hypocritical point to make. I guess gay cartoons are exempt from this criticism
To be fair, 95% of critique given via normie channels is just shippers trying to get their ship made canon. Usually with the subtlety of a sledgehammer to the face.
To be fair, I think his point is that criticisms made about one season of animation can really only be received and processed by the animators by the time a third season is rolling out, which may or may not even happen.
Of course, knowing that this is Dobson, the point he thinks he's making is "don't offer criticism."
Yeah, the kid isn't even saying something like "I didn't like episode 6 so next episode you should do blah blah". He just says he didn't like it, and the animator is basically saying "Too bad, kid! We're already working on season 2 so your criticism is worthless and we reject it!" I also think Dobson is saying you can't criticize any type of media because it's already been made and you can't get it changed so why bother complaining?
Listen homosexuals you want a fair go to the pride parades dressed as a Lubey the clown who likes anal.
Shut the frick up and take a criticism like a man.
He's so autistic that he thinks "I don't like the thing" means "PLEASE FIX IT NOW, THIS INSTANT"; because that's his meaning when he uses the phrase.
The truth is you can criticize whatever you like, and in fact many things hundreds of years old get criticism all the time.
To piss off incels
That kid watching TV is clearly stoned and yet far too young to smoke. I blame the parents.
Its time we let dobson rest, he's probably working as a grocery bagger somewhere
Frick him, let me rest from seeing his name. He can rot.
He's one of those people no one should ever know about.

>lolcow followers are as moronic as lolcows themselves
You cracked the code. Not that the code was unknown at this point.
Sure, I'll give him some credit for staying true to his word on leaving the internet.
It cost his brother a job apparently.
No. He belongs to us.
I thought he finally got a job at Disney.
There's no reason to make threads about this piece of dogshit.
He deserves to be scrubbed from existence and you homosexuals are immortalizing him.
But it's fun shitting on him, he's one of my art inspirations in the sense that I don't want to be him.
The thing is there's not much to learn other than "don't be a sped online" from him.
He's kinda stopped though. it's kicking a dead horse.
And its been well over a year since he stopped too, so the horse has decomposed into a skeleton at this point.
i think he just has autism
Brocken clock is right two times blablabla. He is still a lazy hypocrite self entitled ashhole
>Brocken clock is right two times blablabla.
Out of curiosity was Dobson ever right about anything?
My greatest take away from what I know of Dobson is that was miraculously never right about literally anything, even a person trying to be wrong all the time would eventually mess up and be right on accident occasionally but Dobson from what I saw defied statistical expectations.
How is he right? No one thinks you can go back in time and remake the episode.
He’s almost right, but for the wrong reasons. Some cartoon fans, especially younger ones, are sometimes under the mistaken impression that their social media posts about a cartoon episode effect the outcome of a nearby future episode, and could do with a reminder that the next season was probably already completed by the time the one they were reacting to aired. The point shouldn’t be “and that’s why criticism is always completely pointless,” but more like “no, the creators didn’t make the ship you hate just to spite you/not make it just to appease you- the decision was already made before you even got to form an opinion, when they had no idea what you would think. You shouldn’t take it personally.”
Dobson however, who likes to parrot ideas without understanding them, seems to be missing the point entirely. I think he is instead trying to justify a point he’s made in the past about his own art, about how criticizing any one of his own individual works is pointless because they’re already completed, and he’s not going to go and redo them. I remember he reacted that exact way to a comment on a Steven Universe fancomic he once made. He comes off almost as incapable of understanding the concept of learning from one’s mistakes and using criticism to improve himself in the future.
>He’s almost right
>change 90% of the argument to save it.
>makes massive implications on what the audience wants when the complain
>target one specific part of the audience
and even your argument is quite frail due to Sonic 1 and the new Rugrats massive changes to be honest
Sonic's massive changes were because CG artists are treated like scum lower than insects
I don't the Sonic 1 situation is the same. For Sonic 1 all they did was change the model. The script stayed the same, the effects stayed the same, the actors stayed the same, the story stayed the same, etc. That's a whole lot different from rewriting a whole episode.
He isn't even right here.
When people complain about a show, not only do they wish for it to be corrected in future episodes(Best example being the sonic movie. Just because something is "in production" doesn't mean it can't be improved upon reception from previous releases) but also future shows will know that "people stopped paying attention after season1 of that show because of these issues here"
Also that "9-12 months" is bullshit in the first place. A LOT of time during these months is spend on stuff like planning and rights issues, not on the actual production time.
Nine to twelve months? Really? Last time I checked it was six months, but that might explain why modern cartoons are released so ridiculously slowly
>Was Dobson misunderstood?
No. He was just wrong. Criticism can always be used regardless of it coming late. I'm not really sure what the point of this comic is. If criticism comes late, don't bother? What if a cartoon is still making the same mistake it made nine to twelve months ago? Still don't bother because episode 6 was a long time ago?
I don't get it? Is the guy at the end supposed to be in the wrong or being hypocritical somehow?
>Is the guy at the end supposed to be in the wrong or being hypocritical somehow?
yes. don't you get it? he's drawn like an angry balding fat moron so he's wrong.
he doesn't look very angry or moronic tho. yeah he's bald but it doesn't look like one of those leave her alone type caricatures. at worst he looks too old to be reading comics on the internet
I think Dobson was trying to say people should be aware of his struggles as a creator and not hold him accountable for lashing out or perhaps to cease mocking him entirely. Batching and blame-throwing as usual.
if you're getting four thousand critiques, you must be doing something right gathering up that much attention
Or something wrong. Considering he wrote "critical comment" but he's reacting like he's getting hate comments. Maybe he is just a thin skinned little b***h if he's reacting to that over what even he considers to e criticism.
true, also i assumed he meant critiques of his work and not him as a person.
Dobson is a masochist so every negative critique just makes his tiny pecker harder.
Get it, because his critics are all fat and bald and have bad computers, not like him!
>and have bad computers, not like him!
i'm reminded of the time he recorded himself playing vanilla skyrim and it ran at 20 fps or something
>5'6
>Dobson is shorter than my little sister
this explains a lot actually
His head is physically closer to his ass, so its easier for him to be a shithead.
>sister
Post pics.
Cory and Psychicpebbles
IMO, the fat guy needs to erase some of the chin on his sona and make him a bit rounder, then it'd be fine.
I forgot Dobson was an appletard
>Oh no I deliberately posted my mediocre work on a public internet portal that literally asks people to comment on it and now I am being FORCED to see peoples' honest opinions of my subpar content. How could this be happening to me?
DULL is a good one.
Why do we all hate Dobson again? expansion isn't that bad of a fetish, tons of people made bad webcomics and his sjw views aren't too out of the ordinary. The worst thing you can say is the way he present these things are a bit cringe, but since when had that been a crime?
he's on the spectrum and a lolcow. its probably good he disappeared and has tard handlers now.
He's a giant hypocrite, in addition to being too full of himself to ever admit he's wrong about anything.
Here's my one complaint: In the first comic, he looks older than the second comic. Is this him being hypocritical or just aging and out growing shitty habits?
The second comic is about him in school / college. Bearded Dobson is him after school.
Yeah, so that computer comic isn't hypocrisy. Its the kind of life development we should want to see in people. There's better examples of Dobson's hypocrisy though.
He also didn't draw it right; the image shows it's offering him to send an invite to the bully, not bully sending him one. Dobby can't even draw his "revenge" fantasies properly.
This comic right here is the reason he hates Blond Link so much.
>Send Request
It gets me every time.
I never noticed that
Do you think he carries his school trauma with him to this day? That would hurt a lot, if that's the case I feel sorry for him, it must hurt a lot.
He does, but you also have to understand his particular breed of autism. He is ALWAYS the victim. No matter what the interaction, he is wronged somehow.
People are critical of TV shows? This offends him as an artisté, because he understands how The Industry works.
People criticize him, there's 0% chance they're being constructive, there's 0% chance he can learn anything, it's just people being mean to him.
He sends something completely inappropriate to someone mourning her dead father? People on the internet are being mean to him when he was just trying to bring a smile to her face by posting a funny meme that people took out of context.
Etc. His every human interaction is a source of misery, because he interprets everything as a personal attack, and he makes it worse for himself by being a c**t about it.
Probably but here is a kicker of a thought. Consider how he portrays the bullies. Are these really your typical high school bullies or were these other nerds or outcasts who just got tired of him pushing his views on everyone at an early age.
He has a child's mindset to this day. He always sees himself not only as right but the pure point of being factual. Even when you point out why he is wrong he not only refuses to understand why, but he believes you are just showing more reason why you are wrong. I am certain he probably had a chat about video games with other kids and demanded they stop calling her Princess Peach and got the reality check but with no awareness of why it is a reality.
He thinks a comic shop owner was being mean to him because they didn't have an 80s manga. He thinks game store employees were being mean to him because he went in there when the sign said they were closed and asked if they had video games when they were playing D&D. He probably wasn't even bullied, they just didn't kiss the ground he walked on and he got his feefees hurt.
Bruh thats funny but it also makes the whole thing even more sad
I doubt he stopped eating McDonald's entirely.

>"Hey, do you...... do you have Dragon Ball AF GRABADO DESDE POLONIA?"
>Why do we all hate Dobson again?
His three biggest crimes were:
1.selling himself as puritanical, defending women against sexism yet was doing his inflation-lesbian-murder-porn.
2. Zelda Williams
3. blogging about spending the holidays at his then girlfriends house and being pissy that they were israeli and he felt cheated out of Christmas, even though they took the time and effort to put some Christmas decor up jut for him.
4. Just overall hypocrisy.
>2. Zelda Williams
what happened?
She made a Twitter post about how much she missed her dad and how it's been hard dealing with his death. Dobson responds with a post of Female Thor saying "Calm thine breasts", which pisses a LOT of people off, Zelda included. Dobson later posts "I told Zelda Williams to calm her breasts, and people didn't like that. I'm sorry you all found it so offensive.", then later admits he didn't understand why everyone was so mad at him and assumed it was just trolls being trolls.
>1.selling himself as puritanical, defending women against sexism yet was doing his inflation-lesbian-murder-porn.
Probably going to regret this but I'm going to defend him here: Dobson wasn’t doing inflation snuff porn while he was moralgayging. It’s hard to find exact dates now but IIRC, he stopped posting as CattyN somewhere around 2006 and started posting as the blue bear (which is when he started doubling down on the moralgay bullshit) in 2013. In between those two eras was mostly him being boring and giving shitty art advice. So he wasn’t exactly being a hypocrite for that.
>Why do we all hate Dobson again?
The hate started long ago on deviantart and only 33 year old boomers like me remember what that was about. As far as the newbies are concerned it's because he's an SJW and called orange man bad.
>Gamer gate
Stupid graph, that was almost entirely the Fappening.
He acted like a textbook narcissist who held unpopular opinions and faulty beliefs. That is a recipe for social rejection.
>roastie btfo
How is this supposed to make me hate him? he sounds like /ourguy/ to me
Is that an actual panel
No, Dobson made it just to respond to Robin William's daughter
I think this was when Marvel intentionally crashed their company into a wall. Not really sure why they'd do that.
Honestly, if Dobson wasn't an egomaniac SJW butthole and had a more likable personality, he could've been well liked and much more famous. The stuff he does in his artwork is what 90 percent of Twitter artists do today anyway and they are well liked for the most part.
Even though Dobson had a habit of tracing, I really like his art, and some of his stuff is legitimately funny. The issue is that he's a lot like Mr Enter where he's too arrogant to be likeable even when he makes content that's pretty good. Rarely.
>Mr Enter
>he makes content that's pretty good.
When?
Technocracy was pretty good. Makes me think that's the content he should be making.
Not anon but his videos where he talks about things he likes are far better than his videos where he b***hes about shit.
Dobson is just excusing his butthole opinions and ways. Basically saying "frick you, your opinions don't matter so shut up."
Who the frick is dobson? Is this a boomer thing?
lurk moar homosexual
he's a lolcow, sort of like chris-chan, but with less insanity and more petty terminally online bullshit
An early lolcow from the mid-2000's. He's a relic from the DeviantArt days where it was far more about commenting and sharing art than what it is now. Dobson was one of the earliest popular artists on the platform where he positioned himself as a "professional cartoonist" and often made comics to give "advice" to his followers.
His advice and critiques were criticized by actual industry professionals for being poor, and in response he threw hissy fits on DA. This, of course, attracted more and more criticism until his career was basically destroyed and he became a laughing stock. Eventually he came out that he traced worked, he had poor craftsmanship, and drew fetish art.
He unsuccessfully limped from making webcomics to patreon back to webcomics only to stop posting all together.
Or to put it another way:
This is an old comic, but it's my first time seeing it, so I'm justified in responding seriously, despite this being a bait thread.
There is good reason for people to give their feedback on episodes as they air despite it being "a year past development", and that's if the crew is currently working on something that reuses elements from that episode which drew criticism.
Take a look at Gravity Falls and its most reviled episode: Roadside Attraction. People hated this episode for it being Mabel at her most hypocritical. She's always been boy crazy this whole time, but it's Dipper who's in the wrong for just getting girls' numbers on the road and not returning Candy's affections? Ludicrous.
Now, this episode aired in 2015, and the trivia section mentions many of the titular Roadside Attractions were inspired by tourist traps the GF crew visited during the Summer of 2013, the earliest possible point for this episode to have been written.
In APRIL of 2013, several months prior to the Mystery Tour, the episode Boyz Crazy aired, wherein Mabel is struggling with the decision to keep or release a Boy Band back into the wild. There are many moments where her indecision is portrayed as having pros and cons on both sides, despite it being obvious that keeping the band for herself would be extremely selfish. Speaking of, this is not the first time she puts herself ahead of others, just look at Summerween, Little Dipper, or The Time Traveler's Pig. These episodes were well received at the time because they were good, but also because there was the expectation (at least subconsciously) of her growing out of this behavior as the summer went on. For every 20 people who loved Mabel, there had to be at least 3 who wanted her to mellow out, or in rare cases see her head on a pike. These dissenting opinions did end up having an impact on the crew, wherein they doubled down and called the audience idiots for demanding otherwise.
In the end, Dobson is wrong on 3 counts
(cont)
Firstly, because he's Dobson (duh).
Secondly, because this shows that feedback can be given in a timely manner despite the disconnect between airing and production.
And Last, because not only can it impact development, it DOES. Just not always positively, but I suppose that's more up to the showrunners' attitudes regarding their fanbase.
Why have there been so many Dobson threads recently? Not that I mind, As an unironic former fan of his I think he genuinely an interesting person to discuss but it wasn't that long ago threads about him were instantly deleted and now there seems to be one almost every day.
Hopefully he died.
Because he hurt your pwecious fee fees? Kek get dunked on woke Black person
I can only guess his absensse is making his hatefollowers go through withdraw so they are making more threads either in the hopes of getting some new juicy info on him or beating the dead horse that is his older works again and again
I've genuinely grown to hate Dobson threads because they give the false impression that he's resurfaced. It's just the same fricking thread about nothing. Nothing's fricking happened and nothing's fricking changed. I don't understand what there is to talk about that's not just repeating the same points.
It's pathetic.
What's this from, metal gear or something? The chick looks like Chie from Persona 4 if she also had big boobs.
Looks like Umemaro
I agree with what you're saying, but uh... can I get a source on that webm?
Dobson threads were already like that for several years before he went awol.
Dude what the frick lol shouldn't you be out whining about ctrl alt del or something lmao go home to your family dude you're so ooooold
no. he was an butthole and he deserved to have died of covid just as much as he wished it on others
Can someone post the summation of how he pissed off every board
What a fricking piece of shit. I hope he suffers in Hell.
>y-you're young! and you're quoting modern relevant things! Don't do that you should be old and obsessed with shit that doesn't matter anymore like me!
talk about a self own
>I have to make up imaginary people to yell at
Shouldn't you be chasing windmills
Learn to take the L old man, you're starting to schizopost.
you lost, Quixote, not him
TO DREAM THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
no, he's a moron.
even "late" critique is still useful as it gives the authors a chance to learn from their past in the next work.
Your critique of ep #6 of season 1 comes when the staff is already working on season 2 episode #8?
It means they will learn from it and avoid to fall in the same errors starting from that episode.
But if you don't give any critique, they will keep repeating the same error forever.
dobson is just moronic, doesn't matter if he's misunderstood or not, his little water brain has come to the conclusion that all criticism is bad, a notion that is often in other narcissistic, dipshit hack writers that don't handle criticism well and turn their work into a means to punish the audience for rejecting him, even though he is the only person wallowing in that misery
No, he's a twat. Also, this is just part of his endless hatred of all criticism because he's incapable of learning.
>everyone is fatter and balder than him
Truly.
Why does he dress like he's going to visit a shady porn theater
>"Psst! Hey, do you... do you have Dragon Ball Z chapters 217 and 218?"
He's an unironic Fedora Lord.
>haven't read manga in awhile
>asks for one that was produced in the 70s
He deserves to be laughed at.
Fun fact: Viz released Lum in comic format in 1989.
Man, the early manga market was weird. Anyone else remember all the back alley weeb stores in the 90s?
They way that pirate is stealing Lum's bra is really sexist and rapey. He should really apologize for this cominc
Nah, he full of air
I thought he got more hate than he really deserved.
Same here Anon. I poke fun at him every now and then but I pretend he’s anything more than goober in terms of how heinous he is. I just think he spoke his mind way more than he should have before he ever did any research on anything.
I had this exact scenario happen in elementary school and I acted like a homosexual. A grade earlier a girl chased me around the playground trying to kiss me because she liked me so much and I made her cry instead. god over 20 something years later and it still hurts to remember /blogposting homosexualry off
I went into full on cooties mode once in middle school and shrieked “Ew! No!” when somebody asked what I’d say if they liked me. I didn’t even have anything personal against them, I was just surprised and assumed they must be making fun of me.
In elementary school, this is appropriate behavior.
In middle school, you should have instantly killed your self right there. No, god should have struck you down where you stood.
I was eleven.
Literally does not affect your current life in one way or another. Move on.
Man he could have done it with Angelica Pickles...
It's not a matter of what you deserve or not, it's a matter of how much you call attention to yourself. He wouldn't get HALF the shit he did if he just kept his fat trap shut.
>I thought he got more hate than he really deserved.
He got less hate than he deserved.
so is it confirmed dobson is a legit autismo? if so i feel bad he went so long unsupervised
I don't remember if it was confirmed but it's definitely legit. I think it has to do with his disappearance from the internet.
A lot of people get diagnosed later in life so it makes sense.
personally i found his free association humor kind of hacky and he's an oscar baiter, but yeah dobson is lucky he hasn't done something straight up illegal with his lack of impulse control
>dobson is lucky he hasn't done something straight up illegal with his lack of impulse control
He’s lucky that his rally cry to assassinate the president wasn’t taken seriously by anyone. Some of the shit he’s said actually could have gotten him into legal trouble, if anyone cared enough about him.
>Sometimes I fight it with laughter, other times with information. Today, strangely, I'm at a loss.
Her dad killed himself.
He's just gonna sóyjak this reply, anon.
>NOT MUH HECKIN ROBINERRINO!!!
Controversial opinion here, but I actually didn’t like him that much, and wasn’t strongly affected by his death one way or the other.
But he was Zelda’s father, ffs.
wait a minute is this the week Robin died?
If I recall, it was a few months later.
I thought it was the one year anniversary.
that would mean 53 years to make the first season of steven universe. I call BS.
Are you moronic anon?
No. he said 12 months for a single episode. steven universe has 53 episodes in season one.
Wouldn't criticism for season 1 be good hear when season 2 is being made, you no not to make the same mistake.
I'm sorry that some people feel like you're entitled to an apology from me even though I did nothing wrong.
Did we ever get proof he molested his niece?
You know there is a middle ground between listening to your fans opinions and following your own vision, you are writting for both yourself and your fans after all.
I don't understand how one person manages to have so many of the wrong opinions. Dobson is a genius
Dobson should have stuck to inflation porn.
Really thought Muffy’s signature was gonna be at the bottom.
Not really, even if they are making season 2 they can apply it on season 3, or they can change things that they are doing in season 2, it's not like the mistake is always something big. We can understand but there's no need to act like it's impossible to change something that is not even released
Wait, did Dobson work on SU?
Also, what are you buttholes going to do once you've driven every lolcow from the internet? Now we're all keenly self-aware miserable fricks like you.
Anon... He's clearly just describing what is happening in the image. It would've made more sense if he used greentext but that's still pretty autistic of you.
>dobson makes a comic about a creep at a con ogling a Power Girl cosplayer and trying to get creepshots of her, coming to her rescue and beating him up
>typical beta fantasy shit, nothing special
>power girl cosplayer posts her pics from a con, taken by her photog boyfriend
>you can see Dobson ogling her in the background
My favorite Dobson thing
He's right, the only thing you can impact as a viewer is, ultimately, whether the show stays on at all, mostly through spending money and possibly empowering a reboot once the IP has gone completely dry.
And why would it anyway? The comic is right, the useful feedback is what's available and appropriate during development, no Batman-Joe fan can help by talking about directorship or pacing. They need line work for the key framers, color feedback for the colorers, production feedback for the outsource managers, shop advice for the storyboarders, none of which can really be given based on the final product, you have to be there and looking over the shoulders at the time.
This seems like a fairly good message for three panels, it's incomplete but not inaccurate.
Sonic
No, the scenes from the original trailer were likely the only scenes that were completely finished and it's much easier to rework ONE character design while still keeping the same poses he had in the trailer than what people want in tv shows which is to completely rework scripts, scenes, animations, among other things which in the end is just a completely different plot than what you started out with
It was massive changes at the end of production a few months before release
>legitimately autistic
>arrogant and egotistic piece of shit who is unable to admit when he's wrong
these are the same thing though
It's a grab bag of symptoms, the narcissism or persecution complex don't always present.
This motherfricker, this absolute fricking cretin. Holy shit.
what the actual shit.
does he think anytime someone criticizes anything, they're expecting some sort of live action sonic shit where the studio's like "uhhhh frick it we've gotta do it all over"? doesn't he realize people can just go "eeeh i didn't like it" and move on?
also funny how he's really trying his damnest not to draw that kid like an ugly moron. only leaving in the "i am silly" crossed eyes.
>does he think anytime someone criticizes anything, they're expecting some sort of live action sonic shit where the studio's like "uhhhh frick it we've gotta do it all over"? doesn't he realize people can just go "eeeh i didn't like it" and move on?
Friendly reminder that Jeffrey Katzenberg didn't know shit about animation when he became top dog on Disney and demanded the Black Cualdron to be changed thinking it was as easy as re shooting scenes in live action.
Muslim lesbian vampire where dobson??
When you pay him $5000 a month and signs an agreement stating that you won't leak it online
>Muslim Vampire Comic
What was he thinking?
Did he post all 46 of those panels, or are there potentially some that would qualify as lost media by now?
Think most he posted was 19-20 panels before pulling the plug cause it got leaked.
So either there’s more or he was lying.
The last panel he posted did seem like it was the conclusion to an arc, so I think there may be a possibility he didn’t make more. But it also seems like an odd thing to lie about. I really doubt he had finished the entire comic before he started posting, though.
His newer art seemed to be genuenly improving compared to his older stuff
The same thing every comics and cartoons creator thinks when they make this kind of character, "I can score multiple woke points at once and then I'll be immune to criticism!"
Exactly, but that exact lack of awareness is why he felt justified in posting his stuff on the internet in the first place. He thought, "Everyone in my life is just mean to me. All my opinions and art should be online, where everyone will love them because I'm right and everyone else is wrong!"
You have to understand, Dobson is not just a narcissist, he is an AUTISTIC narcissist. He wants praise and admiration from people he honestly and truly does not and can never understand, and when he does not get that praise and instead receives backlash he is quite literally incapable of seeing it as anything other than an attack on him personally. It would almost be pitiful, if he wasn't such a waste of oxygen.
That anon wasn't defending Dobson, he's just outlining Dobson's logic in why sending Zelda Williams "Calm Thine breasts" in response to her mourning her dad was appropriate and why HE'S the victim and not just an butthole
>misunderstood
I mean kind of, in a way, yes. Because he's plainly autistic but doesn't realize it, so he can't imagine you not feeling the same way as him about utterly weird bullshit like his fixation on Link's hair or inflation porn
I think people will find him more despicable if they managed to understand him.
Never question anything, just accept crap and get ready for more crap.
you know jay bauman. the guy who made that joke. is a massive reddit beta?
> is a massive reddit beta?
We're talking about an inflation fetishist, Anon. Why would I care that some other guy is a reddit beta? I unironically care more that the Captchas are now 6 characters instead of 5.
Did SU episdoes really take 9-12 months? From the little I've seen of it (webms posted here) there is nothing that looks like it needed to take so long per episoe.
Probably the standard 4-8 week production per episode in the US, then 6-9 months getting animated. All of this happens concurrently and there are usually a few episodes in active production at any given time.
>Animation can't be criticized because it takes a long time
>unlike other forms of entertainment which clearly only happen days before they air
This is fricking dumb even by Dobson standards.
Live action tv is often cancelled while episodes are still filming, production is only a few weeks ahead of air dates in many cases.
Maybe at one point. But somewhere along in his life the guy plugged his ears and stopped listening. Once that happened, he effectively ceased to learn and his conclusions were rightly scrutinized.
Haha, I forgot about the whole "my art teacher bullied me because he HATED CARTOONS" thing.
I think the funniest thing about Dobson is that he legitimately could have achieved the level of success that everyone around him achieved if he didn't have his gigantic ego to prevent him from burning bridges and actually improving his art. Like, the Zelda Williams fiasco actually destroyed what little clout he had left at that point, and if he had properly apologized he could have salvaged his cartooning "career", but instead he passive-aggressived his way onto an unofficial industry blacklist.
I mean, the fact that he gave up the moment Disney closed their 2D division after Treasure Planet bombed probably did him no favors. Plus he's a major antisocial autist, so even if he DID get a job in industry out of college, he'd be practically unhireable
>It takes 20 years to make ONE cartoon show
Don't remind me.
You think lolcows could earn more goodwill by doing stuff like this? I think so, but the first prerequisite would be for them to accept that they're the joke in this case, and I don't think they can.
If you're a self aware lolcow, that just makes you a cool guy. Every person on the internet that owns their shit is popular.
Essentially, isn't that Nostalgia Critic's thing? Would he qualify as a lolcow? I know he's done some awful reviews, done terrible things beyond that, and is essentially a laughingstock online, yet people rarely give him shit directly for some reason.
I think because he's kept his personal views of things generally out of sight, and also because he's fricking stupid when it comes to most things. Like how he made a joke in that one old TMNT review that Splinter sounded like he "smoked a carton of malboros every day" and his audience called him out that the joke was in poor taste because the actor had recently died of lung cancer, and Doug took that to mean "I can't make jokes about this guy or people will b***h at me"
Yeah that was a simple case of "dude too soon." and yet he somehow made everyone else to be unreasonable. It was probably a simple mistake and apologizing in that case wouldn't have been a show of weakness.
I like how Dobson constantly compares himself to people who do far more work than him. It's like a garbage boy comparing himself to a showrunner.
Yes he was
Wow Dobson doesn't understand the fundamental concept of criticism? I never would have guessed judging by his work.
Why did he draw hirsch like that?
Why are artists so bad at taking criticism holy shit
