Glad to be bullied in school so much you fled your hometown?
Who knows.

I think he was just hoping she'd notice him and send him her college lesbian sex tape.

Sure Andy, that quest for revenge turned out great.

>I want to become successfull, I NEED to become successfull so that I can take my hand and rub it in his foul little face and say "FUCK YOU ASSHOLE!"

Dobson holds a one-sided grudge for a decade, accuses the other person of asking out a girl and becoming her bf just to spite him and he ends it with that.

Jonathan wins by default for not giving a shit about this Dobgoblin, but such posts can't make it any clearer.

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.

Almost, but not quite.

Remember, he thinks you spell it “Tchyoclodites”.

The Hypocrisy of Andrew Dobson

So one day, Dobson decided to once again shit on anyone who voted for Trump and imply they were uneducated backwater garbage people. So he replied to the following tweet with the level of smug...

I think my favorite part of that journal post is where someone sent him a friend request and his first impulse was to send a "curt reply" asking who the person was and why should he (Dobson) care? Because that is soooooo Dobson in all the ways.

It'll never cease to amaze me how poorly educated this guy is... and cause he's also a lazy lardass who's into a bit of geeky shit, his go-to identity is that of a smart nerd - as opposed to dumb jocks. I have a hunch that any rando jock from his entire time in school would be able to outperform him schoolwise.

It's why I actualyl regret not having had a chance to read his Percy Philips books or whatever they were called. The Detective Conan knockoff crap.
Given that the train of thought of a smart person is unfathomable to people as dumb as Dobson, said smart people appear like they possess magic abilities.

It's like that old copypasta about dumb people writing smart characters. Since they can't even remotely understand how a smart person deduces things, they write smart characters like they are wizards, who asspull knowledge and deductions out of their ass.

The one page from Percy Philips that I ever saw was him getting some random shit delivered by the asian doofus based on Dobson's roommate, and Percy takes a look at the asian stereotype and goes "Oh, I thought you were late cause you did X, but now I realize you were actually late cause you did Y!" without an explanation. We're just meant to assume that Percy somehow managed to learn that from looking at the guy.
What makes this even more bewildering is that it's a knockoff of Detective Conan, a manga/anime that elaborates in fine detail how Conan pieced everything together, what small details and tidbits of knowledge were involved and so on.

Anybody that is still holding onto baggage like that from high school is obviously a mentally sound and emotionally stable individual.

Dude it's fucking high school. Once you leave nobody cares anymore. And if you're holding on to things like that after so many years then you're still a child and never grew up.

IMAGINE BEING SUCH A FAT FUCK YOU LOOK AT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND SEE A FOOD

FWIW: Political Correctness isn't about variety either, but a dogma that everything in column "A" is good and everything in column "B" is bad. So if saying you won't follow dogma is a lame response, well, so is devotion to it.

To be fair, the problem is the logical hypothesis that "smart" people in fiction exemplify only looks like magic when everyone else in a story acts, to a degree, illogically on hunch alone.


Sherlock Holmes frequently had the plot of the story's world bend to ensure he was never wrong with his assumptions. Yes, he would always be able to present the logic behind them, but, he never reached an incorrect conclusion.

At some point, even "realistic" smart people in fiction have to be granted supernatural intuition that makes their choice always right among a sea of others that are close, or even incorrect ones, yet still fit all the evidence just as well.

TL : DR - Fictional detectives frequently are benefiting from superpowers, specifically, probability of their hypothesis being correct as opposed to anyone else's even if there's no flaw in the logic of either one. While everyone will note the killer probably wore gloves due to lack of fingerprints at the scene, only Holmes, as hero, will be able to correctly guess the color and brand, sight unseen, even if he was just guessing blindly.


The story is programmed to make him more right than anyone else.

My definition of Political Correctness I've concocted (with help) goes like:
Political Correctness is the 'gap' between what is allowable to say in polite company, and the truth.
The larger that 'gap' becomes, the less free expression you have.

I have to sorta disagree on that tbh.

Smart characters, when well written, have a certain expertise that is depicted in a realistic and coherent manner, have knowledge of the case equal to or lower than the actual audience, their deductions are based on sensible observations and a logical foundation for their conclusions.

Smart characters, when written poorly, will often have secret knowledge (I think Agatha Christie liked to do that?) where a pivotal element of the "Who dun it?" is unknown to the reader and in the end, the main character reveals the unknown information that acts as the central clue to reveal who the murderer was.

In terrible detective stories, you get convoluted explanations or things get merely handwaved. Of course, the protagonis knew about the price hike for indigo-dyed silks in the markets in Lima 4 years ago. Of course, the protagonist is aware of some secret infight in a noble family a generation ago over someone knocking up a chambermaid. Of course, the protagonist has heard that one weird rumor from half across the globe regarding that obscure tidbit of crucial information that somehow unravels everything.
It's like they play with marked cards. But that's not how all such stories work.

One of my favorite episodes of Columbo has him working on a case of a poisoned chef and he keeps on badgering some restaurant critic (that the audience knows is guilty) that had dinner shortly before the chef died. Columbo just keeps putting pressure on the guy and it all culminates in a really awesome final scene, where Columbo and the restaurant critic cook a meal together and the critic sets up poison to kill Columbo. After Columbo reveals that he knows the critic was the murderer, we get this scene:

I really like that writing. The murderer gave himself away early on and it's something that when you watch that episode for the first time blows your mind. You don't pay attention to the critic when he shows up at the scene of the crime, but him not fussing over maybe being poisoned too reveals him as the one who did it.
That is very good writing, since Columbo makes a smart observation and logically deduces, researches and concludes. I love it.

Another example of decent writing, this time a scene from "Monk":

I mean, it's just a throwaway scene and it's not mind blowing, but Monk's deduction of the lawyer sleeping with his secretary is based on logically structured evidence that he found. Monk has savant-like memory and he's got a very keen eye for detail, but I woudl argue that's not the writers giving him "supernatural" perception, he's got severe autistic OCD, so things being a bit untidy (like pillows being the wrong way, an earing on the floor or something sticking out of a bag) are just things that would stick out to him like a sore thumb.
In general, his character has very strong abilities to notice fine details and remember them perfectly and this gets balanced out with a shitton of phobias, him being socially awkward, OCDs and so overall I would call him a "balanced" character.

The show overall of course doesn't hold a candle to classics like Columbo, but I always liked the scene I just linked, since it's such a concise example of structuring things in a manner that makes sense for the audience.

Bad writing in mystery shows oftentimes just blows away your suspension of disbelief.

I think it's partly Dobson being too dumb to know how to write smart people, but also his inability to understand why set up is important.

For example, the anime trope where the girl hits a guy as a punchline. Andy loves that and used it all the time in Alex. Except in anime, the guy usually does something perverted, or is in circumstances that make it seem that way, and the abuse is justified. Dobson just has Alex smack around Sam and doesn't understand why this doesn't have the same reaction.

Someone in the thread once said that Dobson is the kid overhearing a joke and when everyone laughs at the punchline, he'll start approaching people, just tell the punchline without the setup of the joke and wonder why people don't laugh. It's so hard on point, it almost pains me.

His entire """creative""" career can be summed up as him stealing tropes and characters, but always leaving out some significant aspect, so they fall flat.

I prefer "Political Correctness is good intentions gone too far."

you are right in that the story can sometimes bend to ensure the protagonist is always right but in Dobson's case its different.

Good "smart" characters will always or almost always explain their reasoning in a way that makes sense, something like Holmes telling the murderer "I know you killed the baker because on our first meeting your shoes had mud and where covered in flour, which means you where recently at the bakery on the night of the murder, furthermore the murder weapon has your family seal and besides... bla bla bla"

While bad "smart" characters will just magic the knowledge out of nowhere "I knew you where the killer because I'm smart" or just have every other character be so retarded that the one guy with two brain cells looks like a genius, one example of this is Armin from Attack On Titan, he is supposedly an "unparalleled mastermind" and yet most of his "Genius Strategies" are "What if we don't just rush the enemy head on and instead try to flank them or something idk". Dobson's characters fall in the latter category they just "magic" the knowledge out of nowhere and just handwave it like it was obvious, bonus points since this gives Dobson the chance to act smug because you "didn't understand something so simple"

Fun fact: Most people already know about how the image he used in that comic actually shows what happens when you try to ADD A FRIEND, not ACCEPT A FRIEND REQUEST from somebody else.
What people may forget is that this same kind of thing happened when Dobson blocked somebody on Twitter and posted a picture of it, claiming that he was blocked, without realizing it.
Like nigga, how do you block somebody, forget that you blocked them, and then claim that they've blocked you by taking a screenshot of the screen that shows up when you block somebody.
Instead of answering this, he just says it was "an honest mistake" and that he's "sorry". Dobson is such a stupid liar.

As I said, dude isn't very bright. He used Twitter religiously and yet had didn't know anything about how to actually use it.

Same for making money off his "art." He never had links to his PayPal or Patreon or website or anything, so when some of his crap went viral nobody knew how to donate to the "artist." Then he'd bitch about having to make "art" for free.
