💤 Inactive Andrew Dobson / Tom Preston / CattyN - STOP DOING SEXIST CRAP

Wyróżnienie
I could kind of understand why he feels so angry about the bottlespray "prank" because the joke was on him if not for the fact that it happened years ago and that he treats this like a holocaust against him. How many times Dobson are you going refer back to this event always exaggerating about what happened until you realize that the more you speak about this and get mad the more power you give to the trolls?

“goosh”
Isn’t that the same sound effect he used when Lesbian Kick groped Alex? Is the implication that this kid is imagining that guy feeling her up.

In other news, someone brings up the spray bottle again and Dobson flips out.

And for funsies, here’s what his initials reaction to being sprayed was.

There's a term for people who are so fragile and sensitive, that a mere spritz of a spray bottle gives them so much trouble for such a long time and it rhymes with "tansy".
I mean, even under the assumption that Dobson inflates (heh) the effect the "coordinated attack" had on him, he is trying to pretend to be an utter wanker, that gets traumatized by a mild mist of water.

I think the :epik: had a friend record the incident, IIRC.

Well, to the man without a single friend in his life, having a buddy around to tape your antics does register as a "coordinated attack". Joking aside, Dobson makes it sound like it was a 5-stage plan involving rollerscates, men in scubba-suits, a trained mandril and roughly 20 pounds of large calibre ammunition.
"Coordinated attack", it was one guy with a shitty camera and another with a piece of cloth over his mouth and a spray bottle.

Thanks everyone for dropping some knowledge, I honestly meant it as a rhetorical question (Dobson is just a shit writer) but the idea that Alex's characterization (sexualization) was genuinely "discovered" through their team-writing process has changed my take on it.

What it now seems to me is that, since the fictional Alex is based on the real-life human Alex, the fictional lesbiansm, was created by her as a defense mechanism in opposition to Dobson trying to hetero-sexualize the character as his own severely stunted beta form of flirtation towards his real-life "crush".

In order words, Alex Ze Pirate was so not attracted to Dobson that she became a lesbian. Oof.

This may also play a part in Dobsons fetishism of lesbians in general, but I'm already trying to unpack enough as it is.

I think you misinterpreted the post. Dobson didn't say that Alex became a lesbian, he said that a strange relationship formed between her and Atea. They both knew that Alex was straight, and it was only through this back-and-forth that they realized Atea was gay for her.

The way I'm reading this, the two were basically doing a form of roleplaying over AIM-- I don't think it was full-on dialogue exchanges and prose, but they were spinning out little stories together with Sennwald 'playing' Alex and using Dobson as a sounding board, to which Dobson would in turn 'play' the other characters, starting with Atea. Who had a 'strange relationship' with Alex that they both realized was romantic.

In other words, Dobson wound up expressing his own feelings for Alex Sennwald through use of this character and played it off as Atea just being a flirtatious bisexual woman. Hah hah, yeah, it's... it's the character. Yeah.

I doubt that Alex fielded the full-on 'sex criminal' form of Atea, or that Dobson would have been forward about using her that way, but the more I think about it the more uncharitable and outright creepy the situation becomes. Alex got engaged and Dobson drifted away from her, and in the process retooled the characters to a pirate adventure and along the way turned his more personal character, Atea, into a sex-crazed maniac that Alex (despite not returning her feelings) would always and forever put up with even though Alex was deeply uncomfortable with it.

There's a lot to unpack there.

Don’t forget the time he pulled a Sonichu and claimed “they worked through their problems and are now a loving couple”.

The Hypocrisy of Andrew Dobson

And he has of course either deleted or hidden the comment and his response entirely so as to deny any knowledge that either happened. Shame there’s a lot more people watching for your assholery these...

Dumb as it may be, this just makes me wonder how Dobson would do Sonichu.
 
I really like this thread, because anytime I feel like my art isn't getting better or my laziness starts dragging me back, I check in on ol' Dobby and realize that if you aren't pushing yourself, it is indeed possible for skill to regress and so I work through it. So, uh, thanks Dobson. At least you're good for something, right?

I do this too.
 
I wonder if Aleks ever knew the sort of sick art Dobbo was into back then.
Spoilered, Aleks and Dobbo

You're not the first one to express that sentiment. Watch these videos, especially the second one.

No no guys you see development is like a tree that's why it's okay he got worse, It's like that time I completly forgot about the first crusade after I got my MA or that time I forgot how to make stir fry. That sort of shit happens all the time even to people who don't have senile dementia.

There’s also a extra layer of creepiness in how, if I’m reading the timeline right, Dobson would’ve been still in contact with the real Alex when Dobson himself also supposedly had a girlfriend, and possibly around the time he was cat fishing as CattyN.
