I don't get that reference. Who is Mighy Max? Whom!? Some shitty cartoon character from the late 80s? I know that Dobson is stuck there, but come on! Nobody cares about that guy. Nobody. Also, his gun looks like shit.
 
Yes it also spawned a bad cartoon too. I used to watch it as I had breakfast waiting for the bus.
Had quite the voice cast. Even as a kid I was aware the quality was low, and I'm not saying that as I was some child prodigy of cartoon review, it was pretty commonly known.

I'm not sure what it is about Dobson crossovers that rub me the wrong way given that I generally don't mind crossover/cosplays.

Maybe it's down to the fact that with most of them it's just "here's this silly thing I did" while with Dobson you can tell he thinks it's hot shit. Maybe it's down to the fact that the crossovers are so shallow. Like that Mighty Mad Max, it's literally just talking names and mashing them together ala Sonichu. Most of the crossoverplays I like tend to be ones that actually draw a humourous comparison between the subjects the two like, I dunno, two friendly enemies dressed like Kirby and King Dedede?

They're not brilliant but they actually have the slightest smidge of substance to it beyond the bloody series names.
 
Dobson thinks combing two francises is the height of awesome creativity.
So he combined awesome Tom Hardy / Mel Gibson character from the madmax movies with long forgotten mini play set figure mighty max.
If you have no idea what that was picture Polly Pocket or littlest petshop sets for boys.

Well that's stupid. At first I thought it was a OC because Tom's characters looks like they came from a shitty 80's cartoon.
 
Mighty Max is mostly remembered these days for being one of the most blatantly 90s toy franchises ever conceived, right behind Street Sharks. It contained every single 90s action cartoon cliche you could think of, right down to the Sonic Sayz-esque educational segments at the end.

Come to think of it, a more creative man than Dobson would have been able to do something clever with the concept of crossing that over with the movie that basically ushered in the 80s. But alas, Dobson is not a creative man.
 
This fucker reminds me of the superhero mascot from the Burger King Big Kids Club

There are certain things you just want to forget about the 90s, despite being a kid or teen of that decade. The over the top trying to be cool hasn't aged well, like Dobson.

And he misses what the characters are (example: the Ms Marvel and Darkwing Duck pic). Here's a good example (Jonah Hex and Blazing Saddles).
 
Well, Germany does tend to be the other "weird porn" country...

Germany, at least here in my part of Europe, is known for their gay porn and has a low birth rate. Got anything to say about that Dobby? No? Wonder why...

Besides, the whole argument is bullshit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_and_dependent_territories_by_fertility_rate
Even if Japan had the lowest score so what? What about countries with .10% higher birth rate? What are they doing wrong? Importing to much weird hentai, watching to much gay or lesbian porn? Dobby is just being a retard as usual.

What i really wanted to say though (been gone a week) is how amazing is the Alex ze Pirate reboot gonna be!? I'm seriously tickled pink and i'm a male! Just by looking at that small part of the map i can tell it's gonna be cringe city continent. This might well be the most amazing thing he has ever created. I have a hard time even typing out all the story lines i can imagine, i'm straight up giddy! Please please please let this happen and soon. If so i will seriously consider supporting him on Patreon.

It's tropey but I'd still read the hell out of that.

Everything is tropey. What started out as labeling and pointing out cliches has turned into creating tropes and cliches to label everything with.

That's basically it. It's totally superficial. His point is simply "hey, this name sounds very slightly like that name".
Yes, but he could have done at least something witty with it. It is not like the internet is above stupid mesh-ups of two IPs.

It's? I'll put that down on the list of "Things other countries know germany for.". But you can do that with any country, really.
Even if Japan had or has the lowest so what? What about countries with .10% higher birth rate? What are they doing wrong? Dobby is just being a exceptional individual as usual.
"Only a Sith deals in absolutes..." mhh... I might misplaced a character in that quote...

Cross overs are serious fucking business, yo. It doesn't matter if they are original, they have to have the widest possible appeal to compensate for its own mediocrity; that is if you ask Dobson what his market strategy is.
 
Rip off not one but two trade marks, and try to sell it?
No one wanted it for free...

Any arm chair lawyers wanna weigh in on this one.
Pretty sure this is illegal.
Hell a quick peak at society6,s terms and conditions seems to point out you cant sell your designs if they infringe on othets intellectually property.

Prefacing this with the whole "I'm only a person who has interest in the legal system, not actually a trained lawyer, grain of salt yadda yadda".

Essentially it's always a case of "Will they bother". Many companies turn a blind eye when they can, the whole "if they don't enforce it they lose the rights" thing being a horribly pervasive urban myth (it specifically only applies to trademarks), so in most cases it falls under companies to make a judgement call. Some companies take a relaxed approach, others are a schizophrenic grabbag (Games Workshop and it's view on game mods with their IPs being a prime example), and others, like Disney, will stomp on literally anything that dares to so much as draw some circles that resemble Micky. Of course if the company in question already markets these kinds of products, the chances of action go drastically up, as the infringer is actively taking a chunk of their sales now.

So it comes down to, what kind of company is Dobby pissing off.

EDIT: Of course, Society6 has it's own rights in going above and beyond the law to shut down this sorta thing, so even a tenous at best C&D, or even user reports of violation, would likely be enforced. Same reason why Youtube and Twitch will sometimes catch background music as infringing. It's far less disasterous to piss off the occasional user than million dollar companies with legal teams out for blood.

[MEDIA=twitter]626848681984180224[/MEDIA]Dobson, if people are not willing to pay for your art, what makes you think they are going to pay for it on a shit quality shirt or mug?
I think earlier in the thread someone brought up that you can only sell original works on society6? He has several designs up with copywrited content and it would be a shame if he got into trouble for that.
;)

So basically, Dobson's committing a crime (assuming simply being still allowed to live isn't already one).

Anyone willing to bet he's going to do damage control when someone points this out?

Like @Strelok said its just not really in the interests big companys to waste time on this.
However Dobson is illegally using scrooge mcduck in his attack on titan designs.....and disneys has gone after Day care centres for unlicensed Disney murals. Wont ever happen but Dobson vs Mickey would be sweet.
