💼 Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

Then why's he like Skyrim so much?

It's not a charming string of family friendly adventures. It has decapitation kill cams.

Because Dobson has gone full "Doublethink"

Wikipedia: "Doublethink is the act of ordinary people simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.[1] Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Somewhat related but almost the opposite is cognitive dissonance, where contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one's mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance — thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction."

While Dobson may not be completely lying, he's still exaggerating his claim of his dislike towards violence. That's evident enough in the fact he still plays Skyrim despite bitching about it, and has a fetish where women die slow horrible exploding deaths.

He says these things because, if it ain't Splatoon or Korra, he has an issue with it, and the world must know. He can decapitate and slaughter hordes of bandits without an issue, but if he didn't mention he is a peaceful, compassionate man who doesn't like violence, he thinks he'd look just like all those violent bloodthirsty male jerks who think women are sex objects and should be in the kitchen.

He needs to constantly try and reinforce the lie that he is a very softspoken, composed and fun-loving guy to hang out with, not the extremely bitter opinionated tool that he is.

He has previously tweeted that he has installed mods which turn off random animal attacks and mods that allow "peaceful resolutions" to conflicts, e.g. the bandits will just surrender to you. He's basically installed mods so that he doesn't have to use any violence at all in an attempt to make himself seem more compassionate. His hope is that people will see his tweets and think "Wow, Andrew is so kind that he wouldn't even hurt a virtual character! Those trolls are truly evil for picking on such a nice guy."

Why does Dobson even play video games if he doesn't like killing enemies? I can't even think of that many Nintendo games where enemies aren't involved except like, Animal Crossing and Mario Kart (and Mario Kart is debatable). You're even able to kill other players in Splatoon. Does Dobson just need an excuse to not draw so he says he plays alot of games instead?

My hope is some weens form some kind of hunting party to find his character and bushwhack him at every possible opportunity.

Okay, I'm just a loser lurker who won't do much else, but EVERY time someone mentions Dobson's "pacifism", I feel the urge to post this (where Dobby goes out of his way to kill a random priest):

But he fails to realize that when you treat actual living people like shit in real life nobody is gonna think youre a swell guy just because you dont kill fictional characters in videogame that just respawn a day later.

I think that one was Dobson making fun of how the stormcloaks (who are pretty infamous for being openly racist and fairly brutish) are hailed as heroes by some people just for supporting Talos, he probably made the stormcloak a girl because he cant stand the thought of any man other than himself being the center of attention.

 

[Rabbit Bones]

THIS EXACTLY. Just the other day I was playing Skyrim and somewhere between slaughtering a whole pack of bandits and decapitating a few Forsworn, I thought to myself what does Dobson even do in this game? And we know he has a huge problem with animals dying on film, how does he deal with having to kill bears to avoid getting mauled?

He had a bunch of sappy tweets about how he liked to explore Skyrim bcause it was such an amazing setting with so many hidden gems and blah blah blah. He uses it as a virtual walk in the park, since he can't roll his ass out of the house long enough to take an actual hike.

Dobson thinks that they're heroes because they support Talos. Because religious freedom or whatever. I think he's making fun of Heimskr, who is a preacher who is notorious for being really obnoxious.

That takes the fun out of it. You're such a weenie, Dobson. The same nice guy who called Melissa McCarthy fat (hypocritical as hell), made a lesbian and bi girl uncomfortable, and throws a chair at someone giving slight spoilers. What a wonderful guy.

 

[Gothicserpent]

Has Dobson ever said the whole "Misandry doesn't exist" crap yet?

 

[tepid]

I don't believe "I don't like killing things" as a justification for his Nintendo fanboyism, I think it's more he's subtly pushing the idea that other brands of gaming are all "brown and bloom dudebro toxic masculinity shooters" next to the purer playfulness and "★FUN★" of Nintendo games.

When in reality he's never played any mainstream games outside of Nintendo and weirdly Skyrim, which boggles the mind when 70% of the gameplay in Bethesda RPGs is just combat. Like if he hates conflict so much why even buy it in the first place…

 

[Bugaboo]

I don't understand the Nintendo not killing things stance, Kirby murders indiscriminately and Mario crushes shit to death. Just because it's cutesy wootsy doesn't make it less brutal.

Lol you don't need any mods to do a pacifism run.

Step up your game, Dobson.

I don't like to bash TES, because it does have pretty environments and stuff, but it's not an 'amazing setting' to anyone who has any experience with RPGs. It's rather bland. But it has to be, because it is Babby's First RPG, and it can't be too hard or it wouldn't sell as much. You want real immersion and impressive settings? Buy Avernum, Geneforge, Baldur's Gate, or Neverwinter Nights. Those are impressive. And old school as hell. (The Geneforge series owns my soul. Spiderweb Software doesn't get enough love, man.)

Maybe if Dobson played better games he would come up with better ideas for his comics? It might be worth a shot. Just recommend a few classics that are exciting and that have good lore.

Also,Samus is a walking weapon of mass destruction,strange some SJW or tumblr sperg doesn't already ranted about Metroid "Nazi undertones" (You know:a beautiful,tall,fit and strong woman with blonde hairs and blue eyes goin' around the galaxy merciless killing Metroids because They are parasites),it will be fun see the aftermath of that.

Dobson's whole deal with installing mods to prevent wild animal attacks makes me wonder if he knows how most wild animals out of captivity act.

Something tells me that if he ran into a real mountain lion, he might actually try to pet the fucking thing instead of shooting it.

Dobson may be the best or worst advertisement for Splatoon. I mean, look at how addictive it apparently is! You'll spend hours playing it! Shirk all your responsibilities! Give up your career! All to ink more turf! You know you want it! You neeee~eeed it...!

Buy Splatoon today!

I will admit, Dobson makes me want to buy Splatoon.

Kid or squid, I'm having Dobson-flavored calamari tonight.

Doesn't matter either way; we all know the main mod Dobson installed first was the notorious "giant inflated boobs on all female NPCs" .
