My university (and others apparently, it's a national thing) where you can "sign away" your rights for pizza. Dobson seems like the kind of guy who would have done this no questions asked and without getting the point.

When I read that, I visualized dobson's blue bear stuffing his face and laughing hysterically- "They gave me a pizza for nothing, LOLOLOLOL jokes on them!"
 
A hefty blocking has always been Dobson's response to "freedom of speech"...
You know what that reminds me of?, THIS:

I'll highlight the parts that make me giggle:
The mother fucking second paragraph starts with this "I’m not really going to talk about the incident itself, but rather it’s effect upon me.", people died BUT I NEED ASSPATS AND MONEY GUYS!.

"And that terrifies me as an artist AND as an advocate for free speech." OH REALLY?:

Advocate my ass.

To be fair, the whole Je Suis Charlie thing was a bandwagon of hypocrisy, LOTS of people were crying "freedom of speech" when they clearly don't know or encourage it at all.
 
Could be worse. A lot of people said that they deserved it. Dobby just needs to do the "freeze peach" joke that SJWs love so much and then they'll totally notice him.
 
Dobson has had a midnight train to a pity party of one:

If you care so much about some random asortement of "nobodies", you're not confident.
Confidence would mean you don't give a shit about these nobodies.
Confidence would mean you'd just go "haters gonna hate"* and ignore them.
Confidence would mean you could actually just be happy with what you do without desperately looking for approval left and right -AND- ignore harsh and unjust criticism.
A rather telling aspect of Dobson's tweets: he never speaks about anxiety to meet his fans expectations. It's always a really ego-centred "I am anxious people will make fun of me".

We can tell. A lot of times they suck ass. It's exactly what I was talking about.
Instead of thinking "Is this good enough for my fans?" it's always just a "will people make fun of it :( ?". And then he goes "Nah, screw it, trolls will make fun of it anyway, so why even bother?"... just like with tweets and comments:
Be nice to Dobson, he's going to ignore you. Call him a faggot and he's going to write a 3-part tweet about unjust trolls causing anxiety attacks.

Sneaky Dobson, trying to insinuate he ever was "in shape".

If this wasn't such a transparent "Woe is me :( now pat my fat ass" I'd actually be moved to say: Yeah, do what you enjoy most and see where it gets you.
But as already said: This "Pity me" attitude is annoying as fuck. And Dobson sucks so hard on making puns, I wonder if he even knows what a pun is.

Of course Dobson would find nothing wrong with waiving his rights or a TOS making you do so.

My university (and others apparently, it's a national thing) had an event where you could "sign away" your rights for pizza. Dobson seems like the kind of guy who would have done this no questions asked and without getting the point. Well, maybe if it was McNuggets...
Sorry to be rude but: Bullshit he would. He's all about accumulating "rights" (ie: childish, inane demands he insists to be met) for himself. "I suffer from anxiety, so I should have the right to half-ass everything and still be entitled to asspats."
He'd sign away everyone else's rights in a heartbeat without a second thought, though. :heart-empty:

______________________
* but unfortunately, Dobson is such a pathetic assclown, he doesn't even understand the meaning of the "haters gonna hate" meme. He actually thinks it means people should hate things for no reason or something.
 
It kinda makes me really sad to know he's not at least enjoying to draw. Even artists that enjoy drawing for attention, should have fun in making art itself.

Dude just needs to take a break from it for a while. It's not fun for him and it's not a meaningful source of income, there's no reason to force himself to make drawings. Just take a break from drawing and play splatoon or whatever and have fun.
 
I used to give Dobson the benefit of the doubt. Now I know.

Dobson only sees individuals for being part of a collective whole. Individualism and free will are less real and less important than his fabricated social constructs.

Examples

To Dobson, race is more real and more important than the individual. Individual equality must be forcibly sacrificed for statistical equality.

He says the same things about gender. However, he also shared the way he internally justifies this. 'Men are bad and like sexy women. Women are good and hate sexy women. Therefore, it is immoral to draw sexy women.'

All anonymous people he hasn't yet fit into any other group are "nobodies". Like, they don't even exist until he categorizes them.

He used to infer everyone who contradicts him is just being difficult, mean, and idiotic. Now he outright says, 'they're evil and I'm better than them.'
 
Looks like I had to bring up a quote from Paarthurnax again.

"What is better? To be born good, or triumph your evil nature through great effort?"

If Dobson listen to the words from Paathurnax, then he would have been a better person...

...But nope, he chose to think that he is born good, like the SJWs. Meaning that he thinks he's such a guy who needs a lot of attention on him because he is actually a big egomaniac. Anyone who disagrees with him is the bad guy.

Makes me wonder if anyone told Tom Preston that he should learn from this quote. Maybe the response would be, "nope, there's nothing evil about me, I was born good! You can blame on my evil haters for disagreeing with me!"
 
i don't get why people are pandering to SJWs
the only reason i would is to take their money (a fool and his money are soon departed after-all)
they will stab you in the back.
not if, but when.
it's just not worth it.
Yeah, if Dobby was clever he'd try and put his art with SJW slogans on as much print on demand merchandise as possible.

C'mon Dobson. Stop that SJW nonsense and just make Femdom comics.
Of course! The logical conclusion to all of this is Dobby creating fetish comics where woman inflate and explode him!

You bring up some interesting points but I disagree somewhat. I think Dobson probably considers himself born evil thanks to the "Ugly Growth" between his legs. But, he probably thinks of himself as enlightened when compared to your average man. While it's pretty apparent Dobson hasn't actually struggled to become a better person, if you asked him he would undoubtedly say that he has. I don't want to get into politics here (I'd prefer to make fun of Dobson's art and Twitter freak-outs), but I once read something that likened the concept of "privilege" that social justice circles go on about to the concept of "original sin" many religions have. I think this is exactly the way it works for Dobson. It feeds into his ego and helps convince him he is better than the faceless critics he has on the internet.

With regard to his reception of criticism of his art, I think it's pretty apparent Dobson actually does not care what "random nobodies" on the internet think, despite his latest series of tweets. While he did receive his fair share of trolling, for every comment that was "u suk Blobson" he received at least one that was pointing out specific, concrete flaws in his artwork. He had people red-lining his stuff, and drawing examples of how he could have done things better. If he cared what random people thought, he would've taken that feedback to heart and improved his craft. I think the evidence speaks for itself pretty clearly: he does not.

"Every day is a struggle just to pick up a pen."

I love how that old chestnut is making a comeback. Can't you just picture old Fatty Bear dragging his feat to his work space after playing Splatoon all day, stress sighing all the way? His bald head all wrinkled up thinking about how those dang dirty trolls on the internet will pick apart anything he does and laugh at failings. But he knows he has do do something to earn those 80, no, 75, no, 70 dollars every month from Patreon. Maybe just a quick tweet before i start, maybe today will be the day when Wu-sempai will notice. He rests, hunched over for 30 minutes just updating Twitter. No, not this time either. Well, no time like the present, best get to work, he he he... It's physically demanding for him to even pick up the pen. "I could have been a contender" he mutters to himself as he draws something with popular characters that he thinks resembles humor.

He's truly an artist without the artist's creative itch. That's why his illustrations come across as lazy- He doesn't even want to draw them.

Dobson needs to re-think his life. Why does he continue to do something that he hates?
 
If I haven't said it before, I believe Dobson's interest in social justice issues is entirely because it's the trendiest movement on social media. He'd just as easily jump on the bandwagon of white nationalism or religious zealotry if he thought those could make him relevant. Come to think of it, in a decade or so he might...

I don't know if there's any way to verify what his upbrining was like without violating his privacy, but the mental picture I've built up for Dobson is that he grew up spoiled by constant asspats. Didn't he want to work at Disney after getting out of animation college? I'm confident what happened was that they rejected his art since it didn't meet their standards, and that punctured his ambitious ego so badly that he ended up slumping into his current state. Pride going before a big fall and all that.

Oh god, that hit me right in the feels. Suddenly i understand! Dobby lost his drawing hand in a terrible cheese grating accident and that's why his art hasn't been good. Sorry Andrew, i hope i can call you Andrew? I applaud your titanic effort to learn to play games and draw again with your only remaining hand.
 
Why does he continue to do something that he hates?
What else is he doing to do? He's made such an ass out of himself, anyone in any cartooning/animation industry will have heard of him and his shoddy work ethic and will want nothing to do with him. He could get a "real" job in a non=artistic venue, but it isn't going to take him long to figure out he'll be just as miserable there as he was drawing care bears with flying eyebrows.

Sunk-cost fallacy is easy for anyone to fall into. "I've already invested so much time/money into X that it would be a waste of that lost time/money to change my ways and start investing my time/money in something different."

It's hard to factor that in when there's next to no effort to be lost.

Yes, I'm being snooty. I know in reality he's probably suffering from this. It's a nasty trap.
