When I grew up, there was a kid in my neighborhood that reminds me a lot of Dobson.
Said kid would ask us if he could join in when we played tag, but when someone was actually chasing him, he'd yell for his mom, who would promptly see her precious son being chased by someone else, who would then yell out of the windows in italian or whatever at us for attacking her son.
Some time later, he'd again ask if he could join us, promising not to do it again. Us, being kids, allowed him to join in and the same thing happened. After that, no one wanted to play with him.
So he'd start doing something douchey, like destroying a sand castle, kicking away a ball or even hit kids or throw sticks at them, to provoke a reaction.
And he'd always wait for us to run after him, so he could call for his mom.
Dobson is that 5 year old ill-mannered wankstain, only in the body of an obese bald loser.
He thrives on being a victim and he's happy when he can point at something and go "See, I was attacked for no reason. Pity me!"
Being attacked online is the best thing that ever happened to Dobson, since it allows him to milk asspats and it's a convenient excuse why his career never took off. For quite some time, he claimed that people were jealous of his art, then his fame. When he realized that neither was true, he went for something more tautological and people hated him for his amazing and brave political beliefs.
In his mind, trolls have ruined his otherwise stellar reputation and turned him into someone unemployable, when the simple fact is that he's a toxic and incompetent buffoon that would never have gotten a well paid job either way.
Even the people he dubs trolls are first and foremost people who are fed up with his bullshit, but by no means mere trolls.
. He has to go out in public and im sure he still goes to conventions. Just a matter of time.
