Well either way, we can agree that it's a ripoff of something. Between that and Captain Syrup ze pirate, I wonder if they're all like that. It'd be like a less blatant Sonichu where the "antagonists" such as Carl are the only vaguely original characters...
It seems like everything he draws is either inspired by something or a complete rip-off. Even his bear icon looks like he ripped it off of something.
 
Look how progressive I am! You're going to LOVE me. . .

Look. . .lesbians!

*fap fap fap*

Does he not realize how transparent this is?
 
I think Dobson hasn't drawn anything a while because he's strained both of his wrists: one from tweeting lesbian fap material and one from jerking it raw to said lesbian fap material.
 
Don't know if anyone else spotted this-

Dobson went and colour coded his characters sexuality. His description- (bold highlights are mine)



I have no words. I'm done

Dobson broke me.

Why is Alex a butch dyke? I'm not trying to be offensive here, that's literally what other gay people will call someone who looks like that.

It's also completely contrary to how he used to portray Alex, and marks the third major change he's done. It's winning him no fans.
 
Fucking stop with the lesbians, holy shit. Pulp novels are cool but you had to retweet the one about the lesbians. He strikes me as one of those people whose real reason for the fetish is that no lesbian is "fully" strictly lesbian and would include a male in their relationship. Disrespectful and sexist. Again, if he were less lazy I'd almost take this as an indicator that he's going to either go tomgirl or MRA. But he's lazy so complaining on Twitter will do.
 
Dobby keeps drawing shit about lesbians because he thinks making his characters lesbians and the like will make his work stand out from everyone else.

Unfortunately, all it does is make his art even more nonsensical and his characters cardboard cutouts.

Pretty much Dobbo is the only person who would give a shit about this, and that's only because he masturbates furiously to lesbians doing lewd things.
 
By the way, why is this beaver looking think asexual? Why not have him be straight and make the male character asexual? I would have found that to be a better thing.
Maybe he thought it would be unfitting for that character story-wise to have a (strong) sexuality or he even feared it would be morally inappropriate for the character to have a sexuality. I mean, on one hand, it's the comic relief (or he would be, if the entire crew wasn't devolving into clowns), so it would be kinda weird for him to also have a libido. On the other hand, since said character is an anthropomop- anthropomorpho- ... er... furry, he felt it best to not tackle the topic of sexuality.
Those are neat theories and they have one thing in common: they are most likely false. The most probable cause for the critter's asexuality is the fact Dobson isn't fantasizing about that dull design bonking someone.
The sexuality of a character entirely depends upon how 'hot and bothered' Dobson gets when thinking about them, so the character that doesn't fulfil a role in Dobsons fap fantasies is the only one that's asexual. Added bonus: Dobson can act all smug about being so progressive by having an asexual character. It's almost Chris-tier logic. Dobson isn't attracted to the furry, so the furry isn't attracted to anyone else, it seems.
It's also possible he wanted to avoid looking like a furry-enthusiast that sexualizes anthropomoph... uh.. furries - which is cute when you think about it. We have ample proof of him sexualizing minors...

Dobson certainly is a special kind of genius to think relying on stereotypes will make a character memorable and unique. His character-design is bad. We already established that. He uses designs lifted from way better media, adds the special "floating eyebrows, dull colors and clamp-hands" touch of DobArt... and we get a really sucky, generic design that's only matched by the generic, boring, stereotype-ridden personalities he creates for his abominations.
Is your character's sexual preferences so important that you just had to label them using certain color schemes in their clothing Dobson?

As long as they are not into pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, etc. no one really cares who your character beds as long as their sexuality isn't the only definable thing about their character!

Doing it right: A character whom you've been writing for a while is at some point revealed to be gay/bi, but it's only mentioned in passing and thus isn't a big deal.

Doing it wrong: Pretty much any Glee episode. "WAH! IM GAY AND I HAVE FEELINGS YOU KNOW! PITY ME BITCHES!!!!" We get it Ryan Murphy! Gay teens get bullied for their sexuality. Yeah, that's immature of the bully to do to the queer person, but stop beating a dead horse about it!
Well, the sexuality IS the only definable trait about these characters, so... :heart-empty:
Since "Representation matters!" (ie: The Dobson mating call), doing it subtle won't do. It has to be in-your-face and impossible to ignore. That's how Dobson rolls, that's why everything Dobson does sucks.
He can't come up with his own unique style, he can't come up with his own unique characters, he can't come up with his own unique humor, he can't come up with his own unique story, he can't be subtle about anything he does, which amplifies the aforementioned shortcomings up to 11.
Right, I'm taking a break from Dobson after this. I'm finding him harder to stomach than the loveshy

He retweeted this-

This is just perfect. These pulp books are merely spanking material for people who fetishize lesbians without understanding one bit about them. So naturally, it's right up Dobson's alley. It's really amazing how he confirms every theory about how he's not a genuine SJW and just in it for the scissoring.

Edit:
I, uh......what?

Who gives a shit who your characters would sleep with, Andrew, oh my God
It's a matter of great importance to Dobson... for obvious reasons.
 
For gods sake Dobbers just go back to drawing fucking porn already. We all know he wants to, and lets be honest, I know I at least have far more respect for someone who draws weirdo fetish porn and goes "this is my fetish, fucking deal with it, nobody forced you to click on the image" than someone who hides behind third party oppression for another group of people.

But that would require effort, so it wouldn't happen.
 
It's funny, looking again at that 'sexuality' character sheet he did makes me realize how little my characters' sexual preferences matter.
In fact, I'd say at least half of my characters don't have an overt sexual preference and aren't really depicted as having one. It's not even to say that they're asexual, just.. I'm kind of startled by the stark difference in priority here.
I swear I'm not just trying to toot my own horn *SIGH* I don't even think my characters are all that deep but they're a hell of a lot deeper than wearing their respective pride flags as clothing.
 
Even with them showing their pride flags, they're still unlikeable. Atea is grade A sexual harassment, Alex is a flat out bitch, Talus needs to be shot dead, and Sam (I feel bad for him a little) is just the bland butt of the joke type.
 
I really have nothing to add to this discussion other to repeat something that's been said over and overagain: People would really take Dobson's attempts at inclusion more seriously if his minority characters minority status wasn't their only distinguishing characteristics. I mean, Jesus Christ. He doesn't even bother to try hiding it.
