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

I found this:

https://www.andrewdobson.com/index.html

not sure of its our manure smelling Dobby boy but it is has that eerie Dobson shine to it with politics and art blogging.

Some of the art is kinda decent, no inflation though. Maybe he is trying for a Nikocadoesque return or too autistic to try being more seen?
That is the green political theorist and former professor at Keele University in the United Kingdom. Click the monographs section of his website and you'll see all the academic books this guy published. There is no way that this is our Dobby.

Also, this Dobson is guilty of far worse: he was convicted of possessing child pornography and grooming children.
 
This vicarious secondhand shame I've learnt about myself in my obsessively thorough introspective comparison-and-contrast analysis between Andrew Dobson and Chris-Chan that which descends beneath my own artistic passion and demeanor, calling into question my father's parenting style, lessons, and demeanor he and his side of the family has instilled within me in contrast to the warm, compassionate, forgiving tones my mother would refer to me in, and how such a dysfunctionally polarized, yet hilariously unstable "good cop/bad cop" family dynamic drastically affected my ability to learn. From the sheer dunning-krugerism that Andrew Dobson's mentality espouses, down to the ingrained persecution and inferiority complex he has to deny himself his own potential and talent for favor of his own methodology which he prides himself on, despite overwhelming external rebukement, frustration, and scorn from the outside.

My father's perfectionist scorn berating me like a mentally disabled, inattentive, hyperactive retard, how his sisters would always tentatively tell him off with baby gloves, yet backing him up were I to ever challenge him, his violent, emotionally temperamental, petulant temper tantrums for not being exact and precise as he says constantly coloring and clouding my judgement and self-image to force me to constantly evaluate myself as a person; not just in spite of his obtuse, close minded, pharisaical judgement, but in Nietzschean wariness of winding up just like him in all of the wrong ways. Andrew Dobson is a rather sobering reminder of my worst qualities and how much "shadow work" I needed to undergo in order to ensure that I make the most of the discipline and potential I've been given whilst honoring and retaining the warmth, compassion, empathy and time others have invested into me through gratitude, however shoddily and insufficiently I display it.

Nor shall I forget to be patient and compassionate with others, despite their degeneracy, autism, nor cringe. I must overcome my own inner Dobson to rescue my drawfagging spirit.
 
The only thing I’d argue against is his inflation fetish being tame, mainly because of the popping shit. From what I’ve heard via this and the old Dobson thread, it’s pretty extreme for the community (it doesn’t help that the pieces I’ve seen in the same threads can get VERY islamic).
It's kinda nuts how in the old internet the inflation fetish was actually considered disgusting.

Honestly, other than the popping shit, Dobson’s stuff is actually fairly tame compared to some other shit I’ve seen on the internet. Well, the popping and whenever he tried to make boobs massive, the uncensored pics I’ve seen on KiwiFarms had the nipples looking pretty gross. But yeah, still not as bad as the Furry Art Freakshow thread.
 
Huh, someone made a post trying to defend Dobson yesterday.

Of course the retweets, many of the comments, and comments in the retweets are pointing out how Dobson was uniquely an asshole. And generally how he doesn’t deserve mercy.

I kind of agree. Dobson was an asshole, sure, but compared to other lolcows, which include child rapists, groomers, swindlers, grifters and gay-oppers trying to ruin others' lives, he really wasn't that bad. He's more funny than despicable.
 
I get where the guy is coming from, where there's sometimes a mob mentality in the irrationally robust hatred of certain people.
But I guess I don't really see a lot of rabid Dobson haters anymore, no one is having depraved rants about the need to hunt down Dobson and drag him to be burned at the stake for artcrime. Its just people shitting on his art and also for being a massive dick.

Dobson's crimes against the visual arts aren't just his wasted ability, its because he was a massive chode about it. And unlike other middling artists with unwarranted self importance, he never course corrected before vanishing.

Tim Buckley comes to mind; while Loss.JPG will be a meme of warning for generations, part of the reason that Loss got the traction it got was was the accompanying news post and Buckers being a general douche. He mellowed way the fuck out after getting married and seemed to exit online drama once he had kid while ALSO improving his ability to draw. You can point to personal and professional improvement Dobson never achieved.

It's because everybody looked at dobsons retardation, and didn't learn a single lesson from him. Everything Dobson did is now completely acceptable, fetishistic art, hating female beauty, hating anime for being "sexist", hating videogames for being sexist. There are millions of Dobsons out there, just like there are a million chris chans out there.

How do you know that if dobson wasn't born a few years later he wouldn't be just as despicable? After all he grew up in an internet age where the fetishes he had were actually considered bad. Maybe I'm just being cynical.

I initially didn’t want to share this because it felt too mean, but…

I mean at least he admits it, unlike Dobbo.

from an art-wise perspective he’s not wrong. Art twitter is nothing but dobson knockoffs, there are so many people who will scream bloody murder over a tracing scandal but go back 10 years on their gallery and they clearly traced hands from the infamous hand reference sheet, or the insufferable preaching about American politics from a dude from germany who draws burtonesque vent art.
in hindsight he also covered his fetish pretty well compared to artists nowadays, you’ll see something you like “oh wow this guy is pretty good l wonder what else he’s made… oh I see, he’s a fat fetish artist. and this piece was a one time thing”

Dobsons big issues wasn't that he sometimes traced the Westminster Clock or used the paintbucket tool and gave other artists bad advice in to use it themselves, it's that he's a jerk that can't take criticism, an ideologue that calls everything sexist as well as being a hypocrite that draws degenerative art despite being against any sort of eye-candy.

I mean, Andy does bring back memories of how cringe I could be as a teen, but I acknowledged my flaws and worked to improve. Dobson raged against the idea of ever improving, using every bit of mental gymnastics he could to dismiss any form of criticism, even at the end insisting it had no value because the work was already finished, so why critique it?
