His rap sheet is getting bigger and bigger. This stuff doesn't paint you in a good light, Dobby.

Is the art style of modern anime even that different than what it was in the 80's and 90's? I wasn't a huge rabid fan, but, most of the changes seem to be technological, with computers making it easier to add atmospheric effects, or draw distant things sharply, as there's only so fine a point you can put on a pencil and still draw with it. It looks a little crisper and a bit more flashy, but the basic principles of character design and the flow of action really hasn't changed all that much, has it?

To me it seems like just another avenue to bitch upon, this time with the old nostalgia filter "it was BETTER back in my day!" , when any historian can see the quality has only improved, but there are those who still defend vinyl, aren't there?

Personal Story time:
I once threw a party and one of the guys there brought a very big bottle of cola. Long story short, he took the bottle, placed it on the table and - for no goddamned reason whatsoever - announced that he'd go to the toilet and that noone is allowed to shake the bottle of cola. A room full of guys in their early 20s, everybody slightly inebriated
... it lead to something later described as "kick-off to the super bowl" and the guy was so fucking pissed when he got back and saw the bottle fly through the room. And the thing is: Noone would have given a shit about the damn bottle. Noone cared. If he hadn't drawn attention to it, noone would have done anything.

The story's morale: There's a few things with which you turn yourself into a target for ridicule and pranks. Dobson has mastered this to whole new levels or insanity. He's willing to commit ASSAULT over a children's book and then sulk over it, just so everybody will now how to piss him off.

I wish more people responded like this to 'that guy'. Controlling people ought to be sneered at.

I'd say yes, though I can't exactly narrow it down to a single trait. CLAMP, for example, no longer gives all their seme types huge shoulderpads and has cut down on the eyelashes. But that's just one specific artist. The whole style has evolved, though. It's like how you can usually tell how old a tv show is, both by the clothes styles and the filming techniques. Dobson's style is the equivalent of a badly-done "period" piece, where you're not sure if it's supposed to look like the Nineties, or if everyone just has terrible taste in hair and clothes.

But Dobson… I thought you no longer watched anime. How on earth would you know anything about modern anime shows.

He isn't, Dobbo is accidentally writing an antagonist protagonist due to his sheer failure at story crafting.

Oh you just know he's still beating his meat to hentai on a regular basis, and knows what anime looks like now through porno osmosis.

And you just know his favorite genre is "yuri".

Yeah, it's pretty different.

I feel for Dobson. One time I got a post here on the Farms rated as Autistic, and I spent the rest of the day in my bed eating ice cream and sobbing.

(not really)

He's too busy beeing smug

Should someone tell Dobson that no one considers Doom to be the benchmark that all FPSs strive to be like nowadays?

This man does not know the definition of irony.

If it hasn't been said already, I finally figured out why Dobson sent Zelda Williams the "calm thine tits" picture.

It was from his "happy images" folder that he tries to send people when they're down.

wow

Dobson, seriously, stop trying. You've thoroughly proven that you are literally incapable of ever being sympathetic to anyone.

The way people draw has been different through the ages, I guess.
Some charts I found on /a/ but they don't have any indication of year.

 

[MayMay]

Something tells me he's only complaining because it's new. I dunno, I just see way more charm in the stuff that's all vibrant and colourful and cutesy. Then again, never was a fan of the older anime/cartoon "style"... That is, the style in a lot of the bargain-bin crap that Dobson's probably referring to.

I can see it now. Dobson is approached by a six-year-old wielding a water gun, and tries to pepper spray him. Unfortunately, Dobson is incapable of doing anything other than victimizing himself, so he accidentally points it the wrong way, and gets himself in the face.

No, he forgot to draw in the fourth panel, where the other artist gets PTSD from being whacked in the head with a rolled-up paper. Dobson, don't you feel guilty, to traumatize others so?

One Piece is an example of an anime getting worse with time; the animation quality apex'd at the Enies Lobby arch and took a nose dive from there on.

I like how the guy with the legitimate complaint of his original content being overlooked in favor of merchandise featuring intellectual property not belonging to the publishers is the bad guy; because Dobson is the same faggot who sells merchandise of other people's intellectual property.

What's Dobson's argument for ripping other people off? That ideas belong to no one or are free exchange or some shit?

It's OK when he rips people off, but not OK when other people do it. Much like it's OK for him to draw porn, or be an asshole, or not put any effort into his work, but not OK for anyone else, because he's a special fucking snowflake with PTSD (Preston Type Shithead Disorder).

He is, of course, wrong, but that's never stopped him, has it?

You mean to tell me he doesn't even take the effort to front a pseudo-intellectual argument? The least he could do is pretend.

I don't think he's ever actually said what I said, but that's generally the attitude I picked up from his twitter (or is it tumblr? I don't use either, so I don't really know the difference).

It's Twitter. Although I'm positive that he has a secret Tumblr account somewhere.
