How did Dobson get his degree? He must've had a panic attack whenever he got anything below an A.
This man couldn't handle criticism even if it was something as innocent as "Why does that hand look weird?"

Is this new?
Because if so, wow. That is really dated! And ugly! Like those hands are about as bad as I'd draw them... maybe even worse somehow.

And yet despite it being obvious, you still act exactly like the "obvious troll" expects you to, Dobbers

He did this a while back. Dobson is always years late on things.

Wait, in that first tweet, did he actually just admit he's a "lesser not as skilled artist"? Why anyone would hate him for his stupid ass comics being more popular is beyond me, but either that other skilled artist is just taking a jab at him and he missed the point or it's another lolcow as bad as him.
Yes, simple cartoons may be popular, but those cartoons doesn't include yours, Dobson. Well at least not for the right reasons. Also, where did he get this idea from? Man, he really hates realism, doesn't he?
Yeah, like when you made those comics about your "crazy" roommate and how bitter you sound because he's good at what he does because he worked hard and you're just content being mediocre?

I think the only reason why he admits his own mediocracy and claims that he is happy with it, is to dissuade people from criticizing his art.

Dobson has made several comments about being happy that his main fanbase is roughly 14 years old and only just discovered dA.
He's blissfully oblivious that this means his fanbase not is economically weak, but also rather prone to ditch him in favor of other artists.
Last pannel is what I assume a constipated Dobson would look like.
It's much more likely some artist told Dobson off for having a bad grasp of... well... everything and told him to improve, so Dobson assumed the other artist was envious and went down the Dobby List:
"Someone insulted/criticised me, so clearly he's just jealous cause I am:
>more creative
>more successful
>more attractive
>more popular in general
>more popular amongst 14-year olds
>more progressive"

Calling bullshit. No artist has ever shown any public jealousy over Dobson's "success" that I've seen. I really hope he's not trying to smear Kazerad, since that would be a pretty shitty thing to do.

I have a theory that a lot of Dobsons pseudo intellectual stating the obvious twitter shit is just so that Dobson can appear like the experienced sage old industry insider who gave up fame and fortune to hang with a bunch of 12 year olds because they are the real future and true hope for tomorrow.
He knows he cant engage an actual adult in debate because they use things like facts and persuasive arguements and all dobbie has is a bike pump and block button.

So, I've been wondering why, exactly, Dobson bugs me so much. I've had, like, two posts deleted in the time I've been on the Farms, and both of them were from this thread because I went a bit too far and went into A-Logging and Powerleveling (sorry 'bout that btw). He's not a cow like Len that doxxes people left and right and is a nuisance to everyone he sees or a horrorfuck like mrz that confesses to wanting to fuck kids and trying to justify it all the time. He's a shitty artist with an entitlement complex desperate for attention. So... why does he get to me so much?
So, I've been out in Europe for the past few days, just relaxing and looking at a couple of awesome cities, and I've been filling the hotel offnights with Fate/Stay Night and catching up with or watching some old YouTube videos. I guess it was partially because of the latter that I kinda had my little bit of enlightenment, my moment where I realized why Dobson is, imo, just such a terrible person for who he is.
For the record, this'll be a lengthy rant that might devolve into powerleveling, so it's been spoilered and spoilered within the spoilers. I'll put a tl;dr in the end for people who would rather see Dobson's spergy tweets than someone sperg about Dobson.
tl;dr If Dobson continues to call himself an artist while saying that he's content with brewing in mediocrity and criticizing others while putting him and his SJWs as examples of how the world should work, then I hope his Patreon runs dry and the only people that ever knew he existed are the people that laugh and mock him. People like us.
He doesn't deserve to wallow in complete obscurity. He deserves to know that he's only known for how much of an abysmal failure he is.

OK, so I'm imagining that most people here that have been exposed to YouTube, any online community, or the Internet in general will recognize the name "Monty Oum." If you don't recognize that name, perhaps you'll recognize some of the projects he was on, such as Haloid, Dead Fantasy, Red vs. Blue, and RWBY. Basically, he was "that one guy that made a bunch of insane animations of video game characters beating the shit out of other video game characters."
Dobson, as we know, finished his formal art education with his degree. Oum, by contrast, dropped out of high school. His entire craft is self-taught. Oum was 33 before he tragically died, and unless I'm wrong, Dobson should be in his mid-thirties by now, meaning that Oum has lived and died in the entire time Dobson was faffing about.
Personally, I adore Oum. He is one of my idols and one of my inspirations because of the passion he had for his craft and just for... well... being him. When he was brought into Rooster Teeth to do Red vs. Blue, the entire studio was basically enamored by him. There were a lot of fun stories involving him, including this one:
But the one thing that was noticeable about him is about how seriously he took his work and how passionately he took it, to the point where he actually got mad at upgrades to programs that he used if said programs changed the shortcuts he was accustomed to using because it made things slightly longer for him to do. There was actually a story floating around about how he got a new keyboard and Oum actually started tearing keys out of it because "he kept hitting the wrong ones in his work."
And what just kills me is how early he died and from how rudimentary it was. In case you didn't know, Oum tragically died from post-surgery complications. Basically, he went in for a surgery, but had an allergic reaction to something during the operation or after the operation and went comatose. He died a few days later. The Rooster Teeth community went completely apeshit when the news hit, not to mention the communities that just loved his work as a whole and myself. The guy was loved for his prowess and his quirkiness and he just... suddenly died in the middle of the dream series he got greenlit by Rooster Teeth, RWBY.
But if there was anything that defined Oum beyond anything else, it was that he was always striving to improve his craft and expand on it. From Haloid all the way to RWBY, the man always wanted to make sleeker and more stylish animations. He loved his craft and he put so much thought and effort into the basis of how and why things would act the way they did, to the point where he explained the functionality of Ruby's sniper-scythe and how the recoil from the sniper would allow a 15-year-old girl to swing around a scythe that was twice the size of her. He was the type of person that would look at a project and would focus on how to improve it, even after the final product was released on the Internet to accolades.
Quoting the official statement from Rooster Teeth regarding his death:
"As for honoring Monty, we will do that in our own way. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we ask that you simply do something creative. Use your imagination to make the world a better place in any way that you can. If you know Monty like we do, then you know he would certainly be doing that if he were able to."
This is why I take pride in and love my writing, even if a lot of it is a bunch of embarrassing Touhou and Halo fics. This is why I want to desperately improve, and why I want to make things sharper, more concise, and just simply produce a whole lot more quality pieces. I want to love this craft, and so many of the Kiwis here as well as some friends at my university make me want to take up my hand at drawing as well because of how, well... just how fun it looks, how much fun they have doing it and improving on the faults that they had. I love making content, and I love making that content better.
And this is my problem with Dobson. His arrogance and conceit even as he admits, unabashedly, that he is perfectly fine with mediocrity. His self-entitlement for half-assed writing, for piss-poor style, for mistakes that would cause any artist that respected his work to scrap the entire disaster and start again from scratch. Time and time again he makes the same mistakes and brushes them off as "his style," and yet bashes others for artwork, for etiquette, for mannerisms, for their very beliefs, as though he was not only a great artist or not only a great person, but this ideologue that we should aspire to become. He doesn't try at all, and yet expects to be praised and lauded as the second coming.
He can shit all of his pathetic artwork out on the Internet and beg for Patreon donations until he is a forgotten waste of 140 characters on Twitter, but whenever he says he's an "artist," whenever he says that he's simply trying to belong and do content and then turns around and becomes a conceited ass... this is when I stop mocking him and start getting mad at him.
Because he's not an artist.
He's a hack.
He's a disgrace.
He's a pathetic, worthless fuck.
If Oum is the type of passion I want to embrace and share with others, then Dobson is the tepid, vapid, stale mediocrity that I want to stamp into the dirt until it's nothing but a faint imprint on my heel that I can wash off.
In short:

Dobson's entire SJW schtick is incredibly disingenuous. He only does it because it gives him an outlet to go to against the trolls who have followed him for years. He's just in whatever opposite group he sees his trolls as being in.
