Not sure what Dawkins said exactly, but Dobblegobble does realize that you do not need to agree to everything someone says, right? Saying "I think Marx had a point there.", does not make you a communist.

Dawkins tends to have a more aggressive attitude towards theism in general, not only just recently. But that is most likely because he keeps having to deal with the same wierd questions and stuff. How Dobbles missed this however, is beyond me. He must have only recently started watching things/reading things from the guy. Dawkins has been like this for a while, spouting things that not everyone agrees with, even in the atheist community.
Just leaving this here, because look at how patient he is in this talk. But it's no wonder to me, that Dawkins has grown a bit more aggressive with theists over the years, if he has to deal with people like this.
 
He does thing getting water sprayed gives PTSD, so I doubt he really knows how bad it can get, and Korra had it very bad.
Even to an autist like me it was apparent that the character is in terrible emotional distress, the only way he could have missed it if he was staring at Korra's tits again all the time.

Amen. For fuck's sake when I watched it back a year ago I was thinking that at this point she may be close to suicidal thanks to the entire ordeal. So when I saw Dobson's pic I was thinking he missed the point by miles to come. Makes you wonder how the guy would draw real drama if he was ever told to do so. Then again, why being so surprised at it? Guy also missed the point of Lapislazuli with his other pic.
 
More levels.


"I'm clearly super pissed off by this but trying to act like I'm not LOL"

So he's too "busy" to make any more of his Korrasami shit, but he still has time to create these levels in Mario Maker...

I don't know because I'm not a nerd, but wouldn't an "automatic level" be like...expecting to play a game and instead watching a demo of the game? Because that does not sound fun at all.

Personally I tink they can be fun (at least to look at) in a weird way when done right.
First you have to be really creative with the level design and presentation, knowing how to fill the level up with obstacles that look dangerous, but don't really endanger you. As in a projectile almost hits the character, but never does. Also don't overcrowd the level so it becomes an eyesore. Furthermore, don't just make it a character standing on a moving plattform. Do something at least minor. Like in a convoluted Final Destination trap, make it that when your character does a first step, it manages to step on something that then guarantess that the character is moved automaticall further. Like first step, you end up on a trampoline or anything else that then manages to make the character jump on a moving plattform, down an assembly line and so on. while it certainly defies the concept of a game, it can become something fun to watch and I think such a level in an otherwise straightforward Jump N Run would make for a fun subversion at the moment you are allowed to do once or twice to surprise and troll a gamer.

But not in the way how Dobson does it. Dobson just does it with not much thought put into it and with the assumption everyone gets it really is just automatic from the title alone. funny thing with that: "Automatic XXX" could also be interpreted as something else, especially by some little kid who just assumes it still is like a regular Mairo level, but with worse design. So him and others being condescending as fuck is dickish.

Also, he really is not subversive or creative at all with his automatic levels anyway, because everyone else does them to.

At their best, they give the game engine a workout and display genuine creativity. Really autistic creativity, but it's a form of showing off technical mastery.

Like this that has been posted in the thread already.


Anything Dobson does is boring and unimaginative by definition.
 
Just watched S3E13. Where Korra gest her wheelchair and PTSD .
And I just recall Dobby drew her racing in the wheelchair with Asami, when in the cartoon she looks depressed enough to go full catatonic and stop talking and eating. IT just hit me just how out of character the wheelchair race picture is.

It was a tribute to scene from another anime show, which clearly he hasnt seen as any post 90s anime is terrible (oh dobbie and his lies).
Like others have said the episode was to much for his fragile little mind, whilst dobbie claims he loves it when "kids" shows handle mature content he basically cant handle it and has to superimpose his "happy place" onto overthing.

Makes someone wonder if he could ever fathom some animation that is intented for an actual adult audience like Felidae. Then again, his "definition" of mature was already pretty much shown in that one "mature" comic he made a couple of months ago, where it seems his definition of "mature" is related to anything that can make a kid cry before it aims for a happy end & shows that are also enjoyed by adults, independent of the fact if they have mature content ot are just funny/cartoony enough that also people above the age of 18 can enjoy them unironically but with enough self awareness.

I would even say that Legend of Korra was the most "mature" thing he ever saw as an animated show, because it worked with season spanning plots, kinda realistic setting and characters who (as shown with Korra post season 3) went through their own personal ordeal. That said, seeing how the show obvious still gave most of the characters a happy end, it obviously was not "dark enough" compared to other works of fiction. But that isn't what Dobson is on about LoK, he obviously cares more about the fact that his replacement for Patty and what's her name has been confirmed canon on tumblr.

Something I think no one brought up till now: the way how Dobson goes on about Korra and Asami, is kinda reminiscent of how some shonen ai fangirls may approach an anime. Not wanting to create strawmen here, but I myself have known a couple of anime fans who would openly admit to me that they cared less of a certain show and the plot as much as how "awesome" certain characters looked and how they could use them then in shonen ai fanfic ideas. I think with Dobson it is kind of the same, where he may have originally looked at LoK as a shown for entertainment value to begin with (but did not feel really strong about it after the first two, superior seasons) but only when the show hinted on lesbians did he get involved more and more with it and his midn set got twisted in that weird fangirl setting, normally only girls of the age of 13-16 express, instead of adult 34 year old men. Korra and Asami are in my opinion just that for him. "cute" and "sexy" characters he wants to write his "original" shojou ai fanfic about. Not (just) for masturbation, but because he looks at lesbian couples and thinks of them as "cute and adorable" as if they were a bunch of cubs. That and he wants to feel important because he is supporting a SJW cause and needs some replacement for his characters from Patty, who before that were pretty much his get go for his cute waifu wishfullfillment shit.

If you don't believe me, think of it like that: What differs Korra and Asami (as he interprets them) personality wise from Patty and her girlfriend by now? Not much.

Two things worth bringing up.
Whilst in the online world dobbie sticks to his guns about not watching any anime made after the 90s ,Fact is thats a lie, Dobson watches a bunch of magical girl shows but he also watches some good stuff. I know hes a fan of attack on titan which surprises me considering the shows love of brutally offing characters. Dobbies problem is the moral guardian persona hes built wont let him admit certain things, no doubt he would love to discuss modern anime or the games he secretly loves (hes has a massive love/hate boner for the DOA series) but hes afraid of the trolls calling him out as a hypocrite and his social justice buddies seeing the real dobbie.

Secondly dobbie doesnt get plots, like CWC hes all about the colours and lesbian subtext. Dobbie used to go on and on about the mother daughter relationship in bayonetta whilst clearly missing the story point of who the child was. He cant name minor characters from korra and cant be specific on key plots points, likely hes only ever seen certain episodes or just doesnt pay attention.
Imagine if there was a Korra movie and it was a fucking masterpiece. Stunning plot, amazing art and pulse pounding set pieces but Korrasami split.
Dobbie doesnt give two fucks about anything other than make believe lesbians so in his head its a terrible movie.
I imagine him with a mild version of CWCs toonville idea. All dobbie wants is for all the cartoon people to be happy and have fun adventures and lots of lesbian sex. Nothing bad ever happens, no ones dies and there is no morale grey.

Actually, that sounds like the greatest nightmarish idea for a lotus-eater machine plot ever. The great Dob-Mind trying to convert the world into a happy place where everyone can be/is made as retarted as Steven Universe and all nasty trolls are turned into evil strawman comic critics that react to lesbians holding hands like a vampire to the sunlight.

They're fun in the same way that watching a Rube-Goldberg device is. An interesting curiousity and little more. The things take a LOT to make correctly, and watching it from beginning to end is kind of like watching a painting take shape.

Bonus points if they get the level to play a familiar song this way.

You do make a good point on how the closest thing to "mature" stuff Dobson is exposed to are cartoons made for children, but still have certain themes and other content to keep adults interested. I don't think Dobson has ever shown any kind of interest in purely "adult" stuff (Game of Thrones for example), and this along his obsession with the DIC cartoons really reinforces the fact that Dobson has the mindset of a child. He parrots his betters without any understanding of what they say in a futile attempt at sounding mature, and his inability to take constructive criticism gives the impression of a spoiled child that wants everything to go his way, no matter what anyone (or rather, everyone) tells him. And this guy is in his 30s.
