The worst part is that there's absolutely a place for him to use/draw the bear persona in the exact same way he has been, and actually have it be good: as a caricature of the sort of bad artist that absolutely refuses to take criticism for any reason, fitting in with those characters you described for a hypothetical SYAC reboot. The problem is in order for this to work he'd have to actually eat crow and acknowledge that he's been a huge dick, something that careercows by definition are unable to do. I think that's partially the reason why he has so many Patreon hangers-on - one by one they're realizing it's been like five years and he hasn't snapped out of it, pulled a Buckley and went 'haha oh wow i was kind of a dick' and made fun of himself and got back to drawing. Instead he's just gotten so unlikable they're finally starting to wise up and drop off. Buckley took forever but eventually did pull out of it, so I feel like Dobson might too. He just needs to get his head out of his ass and get off social media for a while.
