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

The story where he simped for a female player's dead character, and he was just completely wrong about how resurrection worked? To the point where he did shit without declaring it so no one actually knew what the fuck he was doing?

He'd wind up being a D&D horror story on Youtube, for sure.
That's the one, I seriously wanna get the guy at a table and see if he will be a talking D&D horror story or not.
 
Wait, I forgot about that D&D thing. What happened?
I think this is what The tired cat is talking about.

EDIT: Wait. I think it was this instead.

(TL;DR) There’s so much to unpack here, because there’s so many things wrong with it context-wise.

sports: Sports is simply numbers, but it’s the people who affect those numbers who make sports interesting. The periodic table has little to do with sports, unless you were doing someone’s chemistry homework.

final fantasy: did you really pull out a thesaurus for a simile? Also, this assumes Dawson only knows FFVII, and I doubt he played it, because (to my knowledge) cloud isn’t emo… or poetic.

twilight: if you’ve read the first book (and only the first book), you‘d understand that it’s a poorly written Romeo and Juliet (a forbidden love story). It’s a more “teen-friendly” read than Bram Stoker or Ann Rice (especially Ann Rice).

transformers: maybe because cars are fascinating and taking them apart to see what makes them work is cool? Also, transformers is cool because it’s cool trucks and cars blended with robots.

Furries: people like to pretend being an animal. some people get off on that. Bugs Bunny isn’t a furry. dobson is most likely a furry.

Dungeons and Dragons: I thought the appeal was pretty much making a character and going on adventures where everything is dictated by RNG. someone correct me if I’m wrong. Also, I think that if you never played DND, someone would explain the basics to you.

klingons: I don’t know the appeal about Klingons or Star Trek in general, but I assume for its time the idea of Klingons was cool. A race/species of aliens that are highly skilled in combat on tv, aired to a mainstream audience, is going to sound appealing (especially since this is before the internet and your only dose of SciFi was Star Trek (and you didnt read science fiction novels or short stories)) You can get a scholarship for being a Star Trek fan or get one for speaking Klingon. dobson’s assumption is lowkey racist, but I’m not here to play SJW.

What in the world is a "+9 Mage" and how do "you lose!" just by whiffing an attack?
Goes without saying but so much of what Dobson "will NEVER understand" is a result of him not even fucking trying.
 
It really sucks Dobson's gone MIA. I remember when I first started reading this site, his thread was one of my biggest draws to come here. Do you think we're the only ones who care/remember about him? I doubt too many people nowadays know about him aside from the phrase "Don't be a Dobson."
i have met some graduates of dobson's college who said his memory still haunts the halls & studios. it's been a decade since then, though, and the landscape of the internet is VERY different

dobson quite literally forgot to dot the i in "things." hard to ask for a better example of his abject laziness

I think what he was trying to do here was say "I don't get the appeal of sports since only troglodytes play them and only Dudebro McJockersons could find it interesting to watch" in that conceited way that so many nu-males do , thinking that hot take actually impresses anyone.

Because I doubt it's the concept of sport that eludes him, or the rules and plays of some basic sports. Like, I'll bet he knows what a touchdown is worth and what a series of downs are in football despite basically pooh-poohing it as this thing that only idiots could like on any level, like Movie Bob probably does.

/v/ still has a thread for him almost every other day, or he becomes a major side-topic when someone posts his work in a "LOL" webcomic strip. /co/ threads are common also. I'd assume he's saltier about that persistent activity than his thread here.

I think Dobbo's entire view of Cloud being "emo, lulz" is because he only saw Advent Children and that's about it. Hell, that's where the whole meme even originated from, it def wasn't from FF7.

As fo D&D, you are pretty much correct that it's about making characters, going on adventures, and seeing if the dice are in your favor or not. As for explaining the rules, that can go either way, you can either get people who are super chill and will explain all in detail...or you might get dickheads who'll just act smug when you ask "Hey, what should I roll for spell casting?

And why attack the hoard? Did he mean "horde?"
My understanding is that Twilight is about an average girl and a powerful, dangerous vampire who is obsessed with her for some reason, who doesn't pressure her for sex. I've never read it or seen the films, but if you don't get why that would appeal to adolescent girls then there is something seriously wrong with you.

Sports only appeal to brutish "UGH... MALES!" and the ones playing sports professionaly are mouthbreathing morons. The periodic table is just a token of Dobson's much more refined intellect, a symbol of his cognitive superiority as it were.

It's a game set at Branchland Court 14.

Which is funny, because I'll bet he can't name any more elements on that table without looking than the "Ugh! Males" he's sneering at could....

And if he can, so what?

Congrats, you can memorize shit. That'll get you $5 on trivia night.

Can you balance a chemical equation?

Do you know what "polymer" means?

Do you know what "specific gravity" is measuring?

Do you even do chemistry, bro?

If not, how is holding up a periodic table in front of a jock and then claiming superiority any different than him holding up a football playbook while you're in chem 101 class and saying the exact same thing?

The irony is that he was actually stupid. Not in the purely insulting sense, but academically. He referenced nearly failing several of his high school subjects.

He couldn’t even be a scrawny brainiac properly.

Thank you for bumping the thread. Dobson is just such a unique blend of lazy, stupid, arrogant and hateable that you can approach anything he touches from a different angle and still find something new to rip on *Chef Kiss*

I miss the old bear, I wonder if he's out there, restaring his brand with a fresh name:

The "I'm smart because I dont like sports" is a pretty common cope among people who suck at sports. In my highschool there was this super skinny guy who tired very easily and was such a weakling even the girls did better at gym class. And he would always sperg about how "his mind was too great to be preocupied with things like sports" even though he had shit grades
