Christ, Preston, you were a sad cunt even before you got famous online for being a sad cunt.
Exactly. That whole post basically boiled down to "baaaw, why don't people like what I like?" and "baaaw, running a club is hard work!" I like how he can't handle people making fun of the crap he likes, and so he goes and makes fun of other crap and bitches if they complain. Hypocrisy much?

Also, "baaaw, why do people care more about fan art of popular characters than pictures of my OC no one's heard of?"

The whole Christmas/Hannukah thing... all I'm going to say is that's it's understandable to feel homesick and nostalgic around the holidays. It's not understandable to treat people like crap because of it.

Especially when they're working so hard to include you and make you feel part of the family! Childish sod.
 
His girlfriend responding was awesome.
We get so much insight into Dobby's head.

He can't handle a comment. The 3d comment got him assburned and he wouldn't even discuss it with her. First off, why would it bother him? It sounds like an innocent comment and like she was just trying to talk about his work. So insecure about his work (he should be because it is really subpar especially for someone who went to art school).

Then we get the family interactions. He would go to these parties her family held specifically to include him and would essentially sulk in a corner not speaking to anyone. He's not grateful, he doesn't try, it's all just woe is me bullshit.

I'm guessing she was fairly conservative and he didn't get any china. Dobby being a virgin with rage explains a lot of his current interactions.

Or it could just be help?...

Of course Dobson takes a piss on a concerned fan!

Dobsons such a twat.
I just... I can't...
HOW is this guy's brain operating? Literally, HOW?!
Be a fan that tells Dobson something nice and you get ignored.
Be a fan trying to support him and you get a tweet that tells you to shut up... since, apparently, you are just a meanie for trying to support Dobson.
Be a fan trying to help Dobbers and you get like 2 tweets telling you to fuck off.
Be an obvious troll and you get 30 whiny Tweets, 2 Blog entries, a strawman-comic and the certainty that Dobson is never going to forget that time someone put CattyN's face on the blue bear and retweeted it to Dobbusonu.

And the most baffling thing is:
Dobson still doesn't get why his life sucks so much, why he's never going to achieve anything in the field of arts... and that's exactly the way he wants it, obviously, cause he has put so much time and effort to get to this exact situation.
 
How old was he when he graduated? I could probably understand having difficulty getting fansubs, which I heard was a byzantine process in the VHS days.

By the way, remember the whole "butthurt about Christmas" incident? It's much worse than I remembered.

God what a child.

I feel so bad for his girlfriend

Edit: I just noticed the date on the journal so I'm just assuming they're not together anymore
 
Sorry if this has already been posted, but I found Dobson's sort-of explanation of why he has an irrational hatred of anime. I was browsing around trying to find out about his Formera comic and I found his posts on this forum thread http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=213313
What I really notice is that he says it's hard to change his style after 15 years. Hell, my style isn't the same as 5 years ago. That's stagnation for ya.
Amazing, simply amazing. "I was anime fan before anyone else ever was and then people were dicks about my favorite anime, so now I don't watch anime any longer." It's like Dobson was so fucking immature that he punishes himself for other's behaviour and then thinks that will show them somehow. Like in a "See what you made me do? I hope you're happy now!"-kind of way, where he thinks it somehow makes the others feel bad or something. I, myself, got into anime roughly 15 years ago and most of my friends really disliked it and made fun of it. I'm still friends with these people today cause I found other things to enjoy with them. I think Dobson made a comic about how people mocked an anime at some sort of club-movie night, but I can't be arsed to look it up, tbh.
Let's just say, Dobson seems like a really shallow anime-enthusiast, looking at the things he listed, these aren't bad, but it's a bit bland and generic. It's weird to claim he was a huge anime fan and the only anime he conjures up are such mainstream titles. Then again, maybe he's just playing it save, so noone calls him out for liking -say- Neon Genesis Evangelion or something.

Dobson has created a 10 part tweet. To save space I've copied the text instead.

Dobblerone dijo:
"(Multi-part tweet) Some people are wondering why I shared that message that, from a certain light, looked like it was just being helpful 1/9"
"The reason mostly stems from me being fed up with people trying to tell me how I should live my life. It was the last straw in hundreds. 2/9"
"I don't appreciate the condescending tone that I'm "in a rut" or am "stagnating" or whatever, either. 3/9"
"I don't appreciate people telling me how to deal with harassment or how to get over my depression. Rest assured I'm taking care of it. 4/9"
"I'm a bigboy & can take care of myself. Unsolicited advice isn't welcome. Especially when no one but my friends know my circumstances. 5/9"
"And I completely understand how self centered and obnoxious this all sounds. I know that I'm in a rather unusual and special situation. 6/9"
"I know people want to help but I keep LOT of stuff about my life offline. It's rude to think you know what's really going on in my life 7/9"
"Basically... Specific artistic criticisms are always welcome. Vague backhanded advice about my life? Not welcome. 8/9"
"And I'm sorry if any of this hurts anyone's feelings. I'm not trying to hurt anyone, I'm trying to make things easier for myself... 9/9"
the douchest of bags dijo:
How dare they trying to support and help me! Also I'm not trying to be an asshole, I'm just trying to be a self-centered asshole
These Tweets actually made me cringe. Also: since specific artistic criticism is welcome, he switched off comments everywhere. Have I already mentioned how much of an immature, whiny bloke he is?

He has over 50,000 DA watchers, correct? Not even 100+ will give him a buck each! :lol:

Sorry if off-topic:
At least Patreon/DA artists like Tracy Butler (Lackadaisy) and sakimichan put real effort into their work, they enjoy what they draw, and they are not rude or condescending to their fans. And their art is excellent.
I'd assume these watchers are just artifacts of the past. Like, someone enjoyed some images 5 years ago, Dobson got a "favorite" or "follower" and the people just eventually moved on... Or is he pulling in so many people per artwork now? If so, I wonder why he can only get like 2 dozen to pay for him on patreon... might be his toxic personality must be the trolls fault.
Something funny to keep in mind: the few people that actually care enough for Dobbers to try and help him by giving advice or pointing out mistakes and ultimately get shit on via twitter have a really good chance of being part of the few last patreon supporters. So basically, whenever Dobson is being a dick on twitter, he's playing russian roulette with his Patreon.

Also on a sidenote: Tracy Butler puts a LOT of effort into her work, that's why her Patreon is up to 6.1k dollars a month.

Holy fucking shit. That's some multi-level delta-grade douchebaggery right there.
You can tell how much of a little whiny cunt he is. One comment, ONE FUCKING COMMENT, and he's sulking over it for hours. And I don't even get what's so bad about it in the first place. And of course, he's got to be a whiny little self-centered asshole that bitches and moans all along the way for no relateable reason. He's so stuck up about how he can't be a manchild at home that he's actually completely missing the stretched out hand of his gf's parents trying to make him part of their family... it's bizarre. If I didn't know any better, I'd say this is fake, since he manages to write a text that is meant to show how much of an asshole everyone is, yet you can tell all that's happening is minor inconveniences (at worst) and him going ballistic over non-issues for no goddamned reason what-so-fucking-ever.
Also nice mature display of problem-solving skills, Dobson. Truly, the Kindergarten-style reaction of tearing up the offensive image was the most adult thing to do...

I think Dobson might be one of the only people I never feel bad about mocking in art.

Speaking of:

ules.png

Those "self insert dressed as" pics must be diguises so he can stalk cartoon women and try and pair all of them together... welp if I do some sorta spergy crossover garbage I know who's gonna be my villain!
Yeah, kinda shitty. Really I think I need like a trainer or something but hey, 'least I wanna improve!
 
Even Dobson can get a girlfriend... :(

There's hope for even the most bitter of incels. As the post was from 2006, I'm hoping this women has since moved on to dating adults. I cannot imagine how grim a life it would be to constantly tread on eggshells for fear of triggering Dobson's self-obsessed man baby whining.
 
That was he was second girlfriend, IIRC. He briefly had one after high school before college. The Jewish girlfriend was after his move to Minnesota and I don't think their relationship lasted long. Just by his tweets and other activities, he doesn't seem to have any non-fictional love interest or friends.

Maybe at one point Dobby was bearable to be around. Maybe his descent into full on asshole was gradual and it took a while for those around him to notice.

Now he's the mythical beta or omega, whatever incels are calling them now.
 
When Dobs was in high school, there were several anime stores a subway ride away. This one he could have gotten to without even changing trains.
I wouldn't put it past him to exaggerate or flat-out lie about how hard it was for him to find anime just to emphasize how he liked anime before it became mainstream. Which in his head seems to be before 2000 or 2001.
 
What we know from Dobby's silly Christmas story:
  1. Telling him that he's "drawing in 3D" is one of his triggers.
  2. It is not his job to educate his girlfriend about the intricacies of art.
  3. He still misses Santa Claus at the ripe old age of 20-something.
  4. His girlfriend is a bit of a dick herself, getting seriously offended about a Santa drawing, enough to refuse to talk to Dobby.

4. I think she was just looking for an excuse. I mean... you would, I would, anyone would make some excuse to get out of talking to such a bitch.
 
1. That art, not I'm not the biggest fan of either the show or its art style (It's fine, but incredibly simplified). But I'm pretty sure Star's cheek shouldn't look like it got stung by a bee.
would you say that her cheek is..
INFLATED?!

I just... I can't...

no no no
you don't get it
only trolls say nice things or try to support
TRUE & HONEST fans give tons of money


Like in a "See what you made me do? I hope you're happy now!"
  • blames others for his actions
  • has a crappy furry character he puts everywhere
  • thinks he's an awesome artist
hmm, wh:) d:Pes that s:geek:und like?

I'd assume these watchers are just artifacts of the past. Like, someone enjoyed some images 5 years ago, Dobson got a "favorite" or "follower" and the people just eventually moved on...
i'm betting artifacts
i have like 1,600+ subscribers on youtube. i get like 5 comments per video
most of these subscribers haven't done anything for my videos in years, some are banned. some moved on.
same as dobby, he just has more of them.
 
Why does he feel the need to insert his fursona into everything? Why does he think that that's stuff his fans want to see?
He probably thinks that the blue bear is "cute" and "funny" and thus a great way to spread the SJW gospel. Little does he realize that said bear is perceived at best as ridiculous and at worst as creepy because of the association of what basically resembles a child's toy with sexual topics.


EDIT.

If he's describing it accurately, that is. It may have actually been more offensive than he says it was. He mentions the Santa with a dreidel, but does he mention the elf work camp with Arbeit Macht Frei in the background?

Wait, I forgot, he doesn't do backgrounds.
