💼 Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

[AnOminous]

Dobson's whole deal with installing mods to prevent wild animal attacks makes me wonder if he knows how most wild animals out of captivity act.

Something tells me that if he ran into a real mountain lion, he might actually try to pet the fucking thing instead of shooting it.

The odds of actually being attacked by a wild animal in reality is infinitesimal, at least compared to some RPG where virtually everything instantly attacks you for no reason even with no chance of winning.

Of course, trying to pet a mountain lion would be one of the few ways you'd actually get attacked by one.

Personally, I think Dobson wouldn't mind an encounter with a cougar. And who knows, it might make him chill out a bit and give us a break from all his SJW shit.
(Though, now that I think about it, he is probably too old. Sorry Dobby!)

Indeed. Cougars aren't hunting for flabby middle aged blue bears with rage wrinkles all over their faces.

Dobson's mind is an enigma. He's got this odd double standard with his whole "No killing" stance (not just in video games, but as a whole).

Think about it. Skyrim have enemies that you have to kill, sometimes to advance the damn story. Splatoon, despite being cartoonish, still has little squid-based lifeforms exploding into ink when you shoot them enough times, effectively killing them. Despite Nintendo's anti-violence policy, all of their protags (sans Donkey Kong, and even then, he's sketchy) kill creatures, sometimes with visible blood. And that's just his stance on video games. To say nothing about the deaths in Korra, or that infamous comic he made with the exploding inflation girls. Or literally half of his comic output in general, which involve people either getting beaten up to varying degrees or even outright killed.

Then you take into consideration ol' Dobbo's point of view on the twitter and how fucking hypocritical and childish he can get over the stupidest things. But that's an entire other can of worms.

tl;dr: Dobson should not be bitching about killing in video games when he himself has done the exact same god damn thing.

Dobson isn't a pacifist. He's a pussy who tries to claim the moral high ground by being opposed to physical violence. A pacifist does not hurl insults, then hide behind pacifism when justice comes to kick their head in.

I don't understand the Nintendo not killing things stance, Kirby murders indiscriminately and Mario crushes shit to death. Just because it's cutesy wootsy doesn't make it less brutal.

Or why is he not all over Metal Gear Solid, a series where you are encouraged not to kill things. He has no excuse with Snake Eater too since that's on 3DS.

Metal Gear Solid is Konami, not Nintendo.

 

[John Titor]

Metal Gear Solid is Konami, not Nintendo.

Well yeah, but Dobby's gaming library suggests that as long as it's available on a Nintendo console, he has a possibility of playing it since it's happened before. Unless that tweet means that he has regressed further and will only play first party Nintendo games from now on. In that case, I don't know what to say.

Dobson's whole pacifist platform is literally only for SJW asspats anyway. He might still dislike video games that aren't Skyrim/Nintendo, but that's more due to his close-mindedness and fanboyism.

Let's not forget guys like Link who butchers things with swords, sticks them fulla arrows or sometimes burns them alive. Pacifism!

And then you've got the likes of Yoshi who regularly eats creatures that are established by the larger Mario universe to be entirely sentient and given the eggs that result are often empty... yeah they're dead.

Hell, the only really "pacifist" games I can think of are Animal Crossing that he probably won't play due to not being able to be a blue bear and horror games like Amnesia where technically, you just can't hurt your enemies. Oh and probably a decent chunk of adventure games but he's not exactly the brainest bear in the burrow. What I'm saying is, he probably has excuses to worm away from actually pacifist games.

I have seen that guy from Gamergate. He is a an anti if I remember correct.

If he was a pacifist he would be protesting outside an Army recruitment centre, not modding his copy of Skyrim.

It can be hard to tell if somebody is a real activist or just a tryhard, but "do you do any activism that doesn't involve a computer" is a good start.

Heh, too easy.

Anyway, Prestobson is a "Master of Double Standards" and with all that SJW gunk he expels on a regular basis, it isn't a surprise that he has similar views on violence computer games. So yes, his hypocrisy is at work here again and this is the core reason why people hate him.

A non-videogame realted train of thought that hit me:
I don't think his art is that bad, I mean I he didn't develop his skills, if anything they have gotten worse. But I wouldn't even care about his art (heck, I couldn't draw a straight line to safe my life), if his at least some comics were funny. And I wouldn't care about his unfunny, mediocrely-drawn cartoons if Globson was just a washed up cartoonist and not also a washed up human being. Btw. I my opinion he could even be advocate for feminism and have this weird but harmless inflation fetish, since one thing is about his views on society and the other about getting a boner. Since I don't see him going on a "bike pump killing spree" I don't care what floats his boat... or woman... or whatever.

Also, as I first read the "A Harsh Lesson"-Arc I first thought that it was 'ok', maybe even 'clever'. In the end "Carl" was right, Dopsons stand-in was wrong and the message was "Listen what people try to teach you something, even if you think you are good enough.". Fair enough, I thought ...but, oh boy was this story tainted after I learned a few things about Popson.

Oh and by the why, you guys want to know why Dobson is a "feminist"?
This is related: Feminism as a mating strategy among beta mates

Calling oneself a male feminist is a deceptive and despicable little shame-dance, a pathetic self-puffing mating ritual that beta male lizards do to garner even a scrap of female attention.

To these self-centered bitter little men bouncing around in their baby bubbles, it’s not really about empathizing with women at all, because they obviously don’t understand how women operate; it’s about scoring with women. It is in this sense that male feminists are more misogynistic than, well, you know, the misogynists. Failing desperately in the categories of natural charm and sex appeal, male feminists seek to gain access to women’s bodies via deception.

I found it in my Twitter-Feed a while back, don't know anything about that site, but the title alone sold me.... although between the lines it sounds like the author seems complaints that there are no "sexy male feminists" and, not surprisingly, it is a bit "black and white".

Despite Nintendo's anti-violence policy, all of their protags (sans Donkey Kong, and even then, he's sketchy) kill creatures, sometimes with visible blood.

Kreepy Krow implies there's killing in Donkey Kong.

 

[Observatory]

I am pretty sure you can be pacifist and still slaughter things in games. Because there is a good difference between virtual and real violence.
I can see that you'd like to avoid violence in vidyagames if you are pacifist and that you probably wouldn't buy games if they are just about slaughtering (Since Skyrim is also about story and adventure, I'd say it's okay to play, even for a pacifist.)

BUT

Dobby draws death and gore and in art and I think it should be far more avoidable as in a game. If he REALLY was a pacifist, he'd try NOT to draw it. At all. (Heck, I'd be okay with it being in a commission, cause money, but even in my own commissions, I say 'no gore' cause I don't enjoy drawing it. So there's that.)

And as already mentioned as I was typing this, he'd probably protest (tweet about) ACTUAL violence instead of harping on a video game, if he truely was so much about that.
Instead, he's just trying to be relevant and go all "Look, I'm good and peaceful! A true and honest, good to heart person and.."

Oh wait, that sounds like Chris-chan again. Dobby, just stop.

Wasn't saying he was. He's totally a wuss through and through. I'm just saying that it's simply hypocritical for him to be trying to avoid killing shit in Skyrim when he clearly does it elsewhere.

While Dobson may not be completely lying, he's still exaggerating his claim of his dislike towards violence. That's evident enough in the fact he still plays Skyrim despite bitching about it, and has a fetish where women die slow horrible exploding deaths.

He says these things because, if it ain't Splatoon or Korra, he has an issue with it, and the world must know. He can decapitate and slaughter hordes of bandits without an issue, but if he didn't mention he is a peaceful, compassionate man who doesn't like violence, he thinks he'd look just like all those violent bloodthirsty male jerks who think women are sex objects and should be in the kitchen.

He needs to constantly try and reinforce the lie that he is a very softspoken, composed and fun-loving guy to hang out with, not the extremely bitter opinionated tool that he is.

Now, if only Skyrim had mods that make Bandits criticise your art or something, Dobby would go mental on those guys.

Seriously, his "I wouldn't hurt a virtual fly"-tweets don't really match up with his comics where he beats up critics and the likes...

Okay, I'm just a loser lurker who won't do much else, but EVERY time someone mentions Dobson's "pacifism", I feel the urge to post this (where Dobby goes out of his way to kill a random priest):

I bet womankind all around the globe felt particularly empowered and supported when Dobson made that image with sideboob and the asscrack of doom.
Also what the fuck is up with those boots? Is that a Design from the game? How in the fuck are you supposed to walk with those?

Maybe if Dobson played better games he would come up with better ideas for his comics? It might be worth a shot. Just recommend a few classics that are exciting and that have good lore.

Nah, his half-arsed carbon-copies would just piss off more people since his works would reek of even more blatant rip-off-ery...
I mean, it's Dobson, that fat fuck couldn't come up with a unique and original concept if his life depended on it. So, derivative knock-offs it is.

Oh god, someone please do that.

Dobby does play good games - Skyrim is a good game, as by all accounts is Splatoon. The problem isn't that he plays crap games, it's that he really has nothing to say about them except "Hey, I play this"
