Much like other nice guy lolcows I have my doubts Dobson's progressiveness goes any further than 'woman are hot and two women are even hotter!'.
But only when they were chaste. He was very anti-sexuality in terms of women, even when they freely did it themselves. Like when he took a sneaky photo of a Poison Ivy cosplayer to upload to his deviantart with a caption that she needed to put some clothes on.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was still a virgin. Considering what his girlfriend looked like, I wouldn't be surprised if she was still one too.

Had forgot that one, no wonder he was a muslim stand, he was ready to stone that halal cosplayer
 
This is great, if he just stuck to doing this stuff and stopped sperging out he'd be pretty successful.
What amazes me about Dobson is that unlike other lolcows like Moviebob, Dobson honestly had the seeds and potential to be a talented and successful artist.

Seriously, I’m not defending him, but he actually had potential to make his career successful. He clearly had a foundational idea of how art is created. It’s a shame that his ego and sperging killed any of that.

Disagree, mostly/partly.

His sketches have the right energy, but he fucks the life out of them while inking.

But more to the point:
He had a base level of talent, but so do tens of thousands of other art school graduates. His abilities aren't that special, and he simply lacked the drive.
He could have made a living doing graphic design or animation if he'd had the honest drive and willingness to self-improve. But if you give him those personality traits he stops being Dobson, you have already destroyed the man and replaced him with something that isn't Dobson.

He had better prospects than Movieblob, I'll grant you that.

Movieblob still makes videos that look like they’re from 2010.
 
Why did Dobsoy go with "Tom Preston"?

:thinking:
I don't know if he ever elaborated on it, but it could have mainly been because he came from an era where people very rarely put their real name on the internet. It wasn't really until the rise of social media where people started heavily plastering their names everyone on the internet. He probably at first just wanted a pen name that wasn't associated with his real identity.

Funny story: one of the first ever lolcows on YouTube was an atheist YouTuber named Brett Keane. I remember when I first discovered his original YouTube channel twenty years ago that I was shocked by the fact that he used his real name as his username. People almost never really put their real names out online.
 
Wanted to swing by and mention this. I came across this in the wild and it reminded me of Dobson. Really seems like something he'd make except if I'm to be honest, I think Dobson's style is a lot better, by about a mile.

They look like they were designed as FunkoPops first and actual characters second.

I think Dobson said somewhere a long time ago that him and his "girlfriend" were waiting until marriage to have sex because his gf was Jewish and she wanted to wait until marriage to do that, so they were basically in a sexless "relationship".
 
Why did Dobsoy go with "Tom Preston"?

:thinking:
The lore with the DA handle is that it was the name of one of his characters from an early comic strip called Tom and Janus, IIRC. I remember the specific reason for "Preston" was a referance to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Scotty's nephew is named Peter Preston.

Dobson couldn't finish because the sheet with the hole in it chaffed him

Doesn't surprise me. It also explains why they had been together since some time in college, then split up around 2010 or so, and at no point did Dobson propose. Six or seven years together and not a ring. Which she was probably happy about because it made the escape that much easier.
There was actually some minor moments in there I either hadn’t heard of or don’t remember if I did.
Any examples you can remember?
