It amuses me to overreact to Dobson saying something stupid, and he does it often enough to keep me coming back to the thread.

I'm not sure why I feel the need to whiteknight Frank Miller, though. I am aware he is not going to have sex with me if I defend him, after all.

I've heard that he will fellate anyone that compliments The Dark Knight Strikes Again, though this has yet to happen.

There's some truth to what Dynastia is saying. I've definitely had moments where I felt like this forum was making a bit too big of a deal over certain Dobson tweets and/or retweets. I'm not exactly a veteran member here, but even I know Dynastia's posting style by now well enough to not get butthurt about it. He ended up being right about Len, whose thread has morphed into something truly terrible.

I agree, but I wish he would be more mature about it. If I had a genuine unpopular opinion to share, I wouldn't shitpost it.
 
For fucks sake, how do you let a thread get this derailed over people deliberately trying to stir up shit in a thread?

Dobbot is very disappointed with us.

 
All I'm gonna say on this matter is:
Everybody likes a different type of cow. The psycho ones who do dumb shit all the time are, of course, this forum's biggest draw. I acknowledge that. I also acknowledge, however, that Andrew Dobsom is a dumb, perverted, hypocritical, self-hating talentless hack of a manchild and I (as well as plenty of others) find it pretty entertaining to observe and discuss him.
If some unfunny inflammatory sperg wants to shit up this thread just because Dobson is too tame a lolcow, well... I mean, come on, guys. He's looking for attention, so stop giving it. :p

So you are saying we should ignore Dobson because giving him attention is what he wants?

(I literally got an entire collection full of these, guys.)

But, um, seriously I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with the Dobson thread where sometimes his stuff is amusing and other times it's extremely boring, much like the Wu thread. Honestly, if you guys have so much of an issue with Dynastia, you are aware we have an ignore feature, right?

Obviously Dynastia has his own opinions as does the people who enjoy the thread as it is. If you don't like people stirring shit then you should consider using that Ignore feature or at least having a thicker skin, because honestly this autistic infighting makes Dobson look mature by comparison. And the fucker threw a chair at someone over Harry Potter.

A guy disagreeing with you isn't the end of the world, folks. Especially when he's actually fairly polite about it. I don't entirely agree with Dynastia but fuck, guys, he's at least saying it politely. The Dumb ratings don't make you look like you have a point; they make you look more fucking butthurt than a Loveshy.

A is for A dissenting opinion.
U is for you and me being dragged into it.
T is for the triggering of 99% of the people who frequent the otpic.
I is the increasing levels of cringe as people start furiously ragetyping.
S is for the shitposting that follows.
M is for the groan coming from my mouth as my palm repeatedly smacks my face in aggravation.

You are right, we reached a new level of infection. Pandemic.

That sums up why people should use dumb ratings sparingly. They can inflame a person and they can show that you are inflamed.

A number of you can thank Draco and a few other people for the interest in this thread. There has been a lot of seepage lately, and the Ban Dynastia thread, phantom ratings from Draco, along with a few other notable incidents is why this has turned into a community watch thread.

Dynastia dijo:
I just wanted to discuss in good faith whether or not Dobson was a lolcow and I got dogpiled and bullied I feel very victimised right now.

You did nothing wrong.
 
I tried to make a Dobson drawing earlier and seeing how hard it is and how it took me about an hour and a half to complete, I now have renewed appreciation for him as an artist.

Found this on tumblr. Apparently someone proposed their own version of the Alex ze Pirate reboot.

There we go, got the final lines and flats down. Might actually try to shade it, if only to practice shading, but probably not in a while. So, let’s see.

Alexander Zacharias Manson

Alex is the son of The Fearsome Pirate Manson and Joanne Brown, who just happened to be one of the man’s many lovers in land. Zacharias Manson was not a good man by any means, but Alex still grew hearing nothing but praise for him and his lifestyle from his star-struck mother: the life of a pirate, full of adventure and treasures, was always something to desire.Which is understandable when you’re scrapping just to get by every week.

So as Alex grew up struggling in the low end of society, he wanted nothing more than to become a pirate. As a child, he had been hopeful his father would return and take him along on his adventures, but eventually realized the man might not even know he had a son. So if he wanted to be a pirate, it would have to be on his own merits. He learned how to wield a sword and paid whoever would teach him how to read sea charts or manage a ship, and if there was just enough extra gold at the end of the month, he’d spend it in the bar, drunkenly convincing anyone willing to lend an ear about how he’d become the greatest Pirate Captain known to mankind.

It was sometime after Alexander’s twenty-second birthday that a rugged sailor showed up at the bar, introducing himself as Peisly Manson, brother to Pirate Mason, and Alex’s uncle. And he came bearing both good and bad news.

The bad news, Zacharias Manson was dead. And there died any hopes of meeting and being acknowledged by the man who’d fathered him.

The good news, Uncle Peisly had managed to escape the raid that killed Zacharias in possession of the pirate’s treasure map. A treasure map said to lead to riches worthy of a King.

That was all the incentive he needed. He only had a modest boat, the bar’s drunkards and lowlifes as crew, and Uncle Peisly’s knowledge of the seas on his side. But it was a start.

Wind on his sails and treasure map in hand, Alex had just taken his first step towards becoming a renowned pirate.

Given his lean-to-lithe build, and because he’s not as ruthless as many of the men in his crew, he is often accused of thinking and acting like a girl by his men, though this is not really the case. When ashore, though, this teasing/mocking from his less loyal crewmen causes confusion among the townsfolk. Very often, they’ll assume Alex is indeed a female pirate, though it tends to get cleared up as soon as they hear him talk or when they’re not seeing him from behind.

Atlas

Alex came to realize, very soon, that having only drunks and lowly criminals as your crew was not the best of ideas. They fit the role of pirates perfectly, but at the least hint of witness, he’d find his position as the ship’s Captain questioned by the roughest of his men. Some of them easily dwarfed him, but he would always come on top during fights, for his agility and skills with the sword.

Intimidation could only go so far, though, and soon he found himself giving them more freedom in land and allowing them larger parts of their booty, against Uncle Peisly’s advice. He knew they’d gotten a bit too comfortable with themselves when they began plundering heedlessly in the ports they arrived to, beating up women and stealing even from children. Despite his desire to be a renowned pirate, Alex found he disagreed with this behavior.

He made his disapproval known to the group of hooligans when he stopped them from killing a woman for not serving them the drinks they were asking for. Unfortunately, he’d decided to confront them while he was one against five, and without his sword nearby.

The end of Alex’s tale would have been very grim, if it hadn’t been for Atlas.

Having seen Alex protecting an innocent woman, the brick-wall of a man had stood to fight alongside the runty pirate captain. They won, though not without a fair amount of bruises. On the upside, Atlas decided to assign himself as part of Alex’s crew.

The dark-skinned man is arguably the most useful and capable member of Alex’s crew, considering the man claimed to have never set foot on a boat before. A dependable man and a great fighter, he easily became Alex’s right hand, and unwitting moral compass. Although he doesn’t mind plundering from those he deems deserving of it, he’ll question the need to attack the defenseless, which in turn makes Alex question the morality and reason behind his actions.

As a side note, Atlas is homosexual. But that has little to no importance in the story, because he doesn’t go around molesting straight men or flaunting ze gayness.

Sammy, the Orphan

After months of traveling in search for his father’s treasure, Alex’s name was finally beginning to spread. He was not known as Pirate Manson, though, but simply as “Captain Alex,” which he supposed was good enough. These things took time, after all, and it was always flattering to hear the whispers on the street. And while a lot of people had heard of him, few knew what he looked like, so he could pass by mostly undetected and hear the rumors first-hand.

Indulging in this ego-stroking hobby of his was how he found out that Captain Alex had attempted to rob several establishments in town already.

Funny, Alex had thought, because that was the first time he’d been to this particular town.

A quick relying of events had him and Atlas hunting around town for details on the Captain’s whereabouts. Rumors were of little help, but somehow they managed to locate the ‘Captain’ in a middle-class restaurant that night. A high-pitched cry declaring the Captain’s presence and the flashing of a sword was all needed for the restaurant to break into chaos. Managing not to be trampled, Alex somehow managed to pin down the culprit, who was trying to pick up valuables left behind by the fleeing clients.

Not only was the culprit’s attempt at looking like Alex a total failure, it wasn’t even a man. Who Alex had pinned down was, in fact, a blonde girl with a laughable pirate get-up and a cloth-mask to poorly mask her identity. The authorities, who had been already on alert because of the previous robberies, gave the girl the perfect opening to escape.

It was only by pure luck that he found her again, the next day, at the Marketplace. He recognized her eyes and hair at once, and tried to confront her. Once more, she escaped, but a patron of a nearby stand told him all he needed to know about her. Her name was Sammy, and she lived in a nearby orphanage. He set out with Atlas, eager to give the wench a lesson about impersonating him. He changed his mind when he saw the building’s conditions.

With several hungry mouths to feed and not nearly enough hands to help, the orphanage couldn’t get any poorer. Atlas was the first to realize, Sam must have been stealing to aid the orphanage, and using Alex’s name for her deeds was probably the only way she could think of doing it.

Disappointed and oddly grim, Alex was ready to leave the town without extracting any sort of revenge. Before they could leave, though, they had one more encounter with Sammy. This time, she was about to get beaten-up by a group of angry men that had recognized her ruse for what it was. While she had managed to get away from Alex twice with pure luck alone, she wasn’t nearly as lucky against these men. Alex and Atlas had no choice but to fight the men off her. Then, Alex proceeded to chew out the girl about her foolish choices, telling her not to get into trouble she had no chance of escaping. He finished by stating the fact that she could no longer stay in town, because more people would realize what she’d done.

He hadn’t meant it as an invitation for her to join his crew, but she sneaked into the ship all the same.

Alex’s decision to let Sammy stay as part of the crew, followed by the rule that she would not be treated any less than a male member of the ship, was met with a few more of his original crewmen leaving his side.

Initially, Sammy could only take care of things like cleaning the ship and other such chores: she was no good at sewing, and no good at cooking, either. Alex eventually agreed to teach her to fight with a sword, though, so she could help with plundering and send more money back home.

Sammy is only seventeen, and is often mistaken for Alex’s woman, although they have no romantic interest for each other. If anything, their relationship is akin to that of brother and sister.

Because lately people have been getting mad about minor shit, being overly critical over some actually decent drawing and getting all excited about a made up fear of halloween.
Im getting a bit sick of telling people not to get mad at dobson or feel a need to avenge his DA fans.
Dont get me wrong I think dobbies a cow and love to laugh at him but i only do it when he provides me something to LOL at.
At some point shit is really to minor.

It's probably because I usually skim the thread but was anybody here legitimately that mad over Dobson? I can only think of one person who needs to tone it down a notch.
