Dobson's fursona as The Mad Hatter. Check out that smug tongue action. Hands bigger than the feet.

I know, i'm late but.

Don't mean to double post, but Dobby is trying to sell his Quack on Titan merchandise.

The House of Mouse generally doesn't like people profiting on their work.

Disney doesn't hesitate to bring out the lawyers either.

Dis gun be gud.

I dunno; I see Dobbo shrieking in fear when Disney kindly tells him to stop or they'll take him to court. Then he backtalks them on Twitter every day like a good little coward until he dies of a coronary at 45 while eating some chicken nuggets from Mickey D.

Meh, the Disney legal department isn't going to waste much time going after someone with zero assets to sieze. Maybe they'll write him a boilerplate cease and desist letter to scare him, but they're not going to seriously go at Dobby Bear with their heavy artillery.

 

[Chuggernaut]

Mediocre plot? Some mild fanservice? A female protagonist you can fap to draw inflation porn of rally behind as a progressive male feminist? Sounds like something Dobberino'd eat right up!

He showed it to the anime club he ran and they didn't like it. He got so upset that he QUIT ANIME FOREVER the next day.

I really hate Dobson but Disney won't give a shit. I was in their scam of a college program. So many people had DA accounts filled with Disney headcannons. They reallllly don't care unless the artist is skilled and famous. Dobbs, I got some bad news for you...no one cares.

I, however, see him remaining completely untouched by the almighty mouse. If you're low-key enough, you can get away with breaking copyrights because the company that holds those copyrights doesn't see themselves scoring a substantial profit from you, in fact, they may not even notice Dobson to begin with. Think of Noah Antwiler and how he sold T-shirts of characters from movies he's reviewed 'n shit. His meager profits would be considered a waste of time.

However, stealing from a poor company will definitely get you in trouble.

It's funny, I'm often tempted to make the same blanket conclusions about tumblrites and social justice warriors.

I think the truth is this: the people who you cannot empathize with appear to lack empathy themselves. In other words, you first must empathize in order to identify empathy in others.

Disney used to go around and shut down day cares that used their characters. They don't care about fan art, they care about profits and licensed material. The chances of Disney noticing is essentially 0, but if they decide to shut him down they will.

 

[chimcat]

So, Dobbie only empathizes with himself.
Which honestly explains everything. If you really think about it, he never feels bad for anyone else.
His ex on Hanukkah, the lesbian teen creeped out by him, his fans...
In all of these cases, he only feels bad for himself.

I don't know what else I expected, tbh.

That's because if he ever admitted he was wrong, people would think less of him and he knows it.

Nobody ever admires flawed people.

I'm wrong all the time.

Disney didn't actually get them shut down but they threatened to sue if they didn't remove their characters from the day care mural. They have sued small businesses before though, and they've been going after people on sites like Etsy.
It would be a good idea for dobson to at least try to come up with something that isn't direct plagiarism.

If Dobbo put half as much effort into his art as he does with his neo-fem crusades, he'd have all the monies he desires...

 

[Pickle Inspector]

He showed it to the anime club he ran and they didn't like it. He got so upset that he QUIT ANIME FOREVER the next day.

I wonder if that's partly why he hates criticism so much? Dobby used to bring shows he loved to his highschool anime club and all his peers made fun of them and by extension him ("It became so harsh that even when I tried to have a serious night they would find SOMETHING to mock").

I bet Dobby was all "H-heh, yeah you guys are right this stuff is pretty lame.." and now he refuses to admit he likes anime. (But loves anime inspired shows such as Avatar: The Last Airbender)

 

[Dudeofteenage]

Where was all that empathy to the lesbian who was creeped out by his art?

Empathy is like most other positive traits - if you have to tell people you have it, you probably don't.

 

[Curt Sibling]

The finest moments I recall with Preton (apart from being blocked) is when an
ex-fan comes to his DA comment main page and tells him off for being a failure.
It was glorious to see his solar-syste-sized ego take a definite knock...!

This happened a few times, and he doesn't react as normal. He actually is abject
in his admission he is a bad example...Sadly this contrition doesn't last very long.

 

[PeteyCoffee]

I think Dobson has a lot of empathy. I mean, its tough to say, but it seems like the original point of "So You're a Cartoonist" was to offer advice to young people who want to become artists. (Regardless how misguided or unsure those strips and arcs could get.) His deviantart journals always felt genuine and earnest - like he was eager to help people, excessively so. I think newer journals still feel that way. (However angry, convoluted, depressed, desperate, and delusional they often are nowadays.)

The problem with Dobson is that he chooses not to empathize with anyone who he sees as a detractor - and he arbitrarily fits large swaths of people into that category - Anyone who offers criticism, and large groups of people who share preferences which he himself does not. (i.e. in response to criticism 'all these 4chan inhuman trolls are bullying me and ruining my life' or 'I don't admire the romanticized female figure, so all the people who do are evil and wrong.')

Doesn't Dobson inexplicably resent people who like anime? This could be another example of that. I ALMOST FORGOT. BLONDE HAIR.

But as we all know, Dobbo hates effort. And criticism, and everything else that isn't an asspat.

In regard to the mugs, I really doubt Disney would give two shits, but it's far from absolute.

Empathy is like most other positive traits - if you have to tell people you have it, you probably don't.

Or for Zelda Williams, who he told to "calm her tits" over, y'know, her late dad. Empathy!

If SJWs ever had a functioning sense of empathy, it's probably something rigorously beaten out of them ASAP.

 

[Chan the Wizard]

I don't know if I would call Dobson empathetic. He's more narcissistic. How can I take this bad thing that happened to you and make it about me?
