Sucks that you had to be a Trump supporting racist, Mr. Scott Adams.
You must log in or # to comment.
Also wasn’t walt disney like even shittier? How is mickey mouse surprised by this?
Edit fixed it:
Top 10 character assassinations.
I liked dilbert a lot before knowing that the author is like that.
Is a pitty how you can’t enjoy nothing without the author ruining it anymore.
One of the (arguably) greatest poets of the 20th century, Ezra Pound, was an unrepentant fascist. His family tried to have him declared insane in order to preserve his reputation.
Don’t feel bad. I decided to play ATV Offroad Fury 2 a few months back. I was thoroughly enjoying the soundtrack and decided to google what band made “Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja” since it was my favorite song on the soundtrack.
Oh a band named the Lostprophets. Oh the lead singer Ian Watkins was murdered in prison. Wait why was he in prison? OH… oh no.
Don’t google your heros kids.
Fuuuuck, I forgot how much I like that song and how I knew all that already. Damn. There’s been several bands and singers over the years I’ve had to forget. I’m not very good at separating art and artist.
Yes same here. Fucking Scott Adams man.
I feel that way about a lot of creatives.
The content can be good when the person is a shitcake.
Actors, musicians, artists and writers. Every medium has loads of public and secret assholes.
Ignorance is bliss when you’re not paying for it.
I remember back in the early 90s our sysadmin would grab Dilbert comics from (I think) USENET and print them on our HP laser printer. Adams built up so much goodwill only to shit all over it in the end.
This seems relevant
I can’t find the comic, but the one where Dogbert said “No expensive funeral; just wrap him up in newspapers. He would have wanted it that way.” seems especially appropriate.
Scott Adams is dead! I didn’t know. He died in January of this year. A shitty fucking person with a horrible world view is no longer putting content on the internet. Happy to learn this.
(I liked Dilbert as a kid and owned a couple of his non-Dilbert books. It’s sad how he went full-rightwing-nuttter later in life.)
The non dilbert books spoke to me as an edgy teen who was smarter than most people and dumber than she thought. As an adult though I look back and think about the sheer lack of wisdom and introspection it must take to write such things as a grown adult. He died as he lived, as wise as a 16 year old and angry that everyone else didn’t see the light of his brilliance that he so vividly hallucinated. And I think that is how he fell down the right wing rabbit hole, he lacked the self awareness to see through his biases and was deeply drawn to a certain type of men who are overconfident assholes.
But yeah I liked dilbert as a kid too
i liked god’s debris but yeah i think if i read it now 20 years later may be a little cringy
He also noted that “If nearly half of all Blacks are not OK with white people,” then they should be called a “hate group.” His remarks were widely seen as racist—Adams claimed that he was being hyperbolic—and many newspapers dropped Dilbert.
Wow. Scott adams was a cunt. I just searched why y’all are celebrating his death, and I found this. Just… wow.
Dilbert wasn’t like that.
No, his racism was more subtle and hidden in smugness.
The Indian intern was depicted positively at least. Albiet shy and anxious.
Dilbert was never funny anyway. Fight me about it.
Fighting takes too much energy. It was never a witty comic, but it would resonate with you when you were in the office job that had a nepo boss making random decisions. The life of the comic was just the same joke said in a thousand different ways though, which is why we can now look at it and mentally shrug.
Boss: I hav a nu idea
Gilbert: No don’t u realize how stoopid that
Boss: oh well I stil say do
Garfeel: oh boy Monday… NOT
Have my up vote. Never cared for it one bit.
I don’t actually want to fight.
But when it first came out, it fit right in with Dave Barry and Milton, etc. If you were working just to get a paycheck, you could relate. The overuse of sarcasm could be overlooked bc it only happened once a week.
It never grew or evolved with the times, mirroring Adams.
It did add a bald CEO in later years, but that’s about it.
uh okay i guess. since you staked out my position though, i’m gonna have to pick something ridiculous like scott adams character the pointy eared boss was inspired by an interaction that adams had with a mirror while on mescaline
The most boring comic in the Sunday paper.
I didn’t know we were talking about Family Circus or Nancy.
He also invented a vegan burrito called the Dilberito that was somewhat questionable
“As for Adams, he left the world of food behind, considering the Dilberito a failure, a lesson to be learned. Adams would later describe the nutritional value of the burrito as such: ‘Three bites of the Dilberito made you fart so hard your intestines formed a tail.’”
Lol my buddy just married one of those. I don’t know the terms of their pre-nup, or if they even did one. Wish we had a remind me bot so I could report back in 2 years!
If shitty person #1 does a shitty thing to shitty person #2, doesn’t make shitty person #1 less shitty
Does it need to? I just love it when shitty things happen to shitty people. Its karma.
Absolutely not and it’s ok to HA-HA in his face as long as the joke stays fresh, but I wouldn’t call the girl “queen”: she’s just a gold digger that gave a valid argument for even more misoginy from the other side
You think gold digging warrants misogyny? Yikes 🤢
She just played the capitalist patriarchy, good on her. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game.
I said think gold digging brings misoginy by consequence, I never said I think it justifies it.
Don’t put words in my mouth just to cry for a cause there is no need to fight here.And as a side, I always found the phrase “don’t hate the player, hate the game” as dumb as the culture who coined it: who the hell is playing the game? The spectators? Of course you hate the players, they’re the only reason the game is being played!
You literally called it a valid argument, don’t know how else to interpret that.
Would you consider it misogyny if someone mentions gold diggers in a conversation about dating? Or if they talk about gold diggers in any context at all? Or if someone even acknowledges that gold diggers exist?
Because a lot of people would consider that misogyny.
But an instagram model openly being a gold digger lends credence to the argument that “some women are gold diggers.”
So if you consider it misogyny to acknowledge that some women are gold diggers, then a woman being a gold digger is, by your very definitions, creating a pretext to justify misogyny.
(Funny how women can generalize about men, but when men generalize about women it’s suddenly a problem; or even if they don’t generalize but cite specific examples, people will still make a strawman argument about them generalizing so even that’s bad).
don’t know how else to interpret that.
It involves assuming the point of view of a misoginist who feels entitled to be misoginistic. I know it’s not a position you thought you’d end up when you woke up this morning, but trying to understand what’s going on in other people’s head is a first step towards fighting intolerance.
I read their comment in a way ‘that stands in the way of eradicating misogyny’ not in a way ‘it makes misogyny allowed’
Ah, but you’re forgetting that this is the age of the internet, when discussing potential solutions to a problem (or root causes of that problem so that real solutions can be found) is basically equivalent to providing justification for that problem.
We’re just supposed to paper over everything to make it presentable to an audience, even if beneath the surface everything is still a wreck. Superficial, temporary solutions are preferable to lasting solutions that address the problems at their roots.
Something about toxic positivity, and confusing descriptivism with prescriptivism.
“Does” ≠ “Should” (strawmen hate this one little trick!)
Thank you, you reasonable person
You’re in the right here. Some people just lack reading comprehension.
so two wrongs make a right when two wrongs make two wrongs?
One turn deserves another.
“So two wrong makes a right” is said when the responding party has nothing to stand on and needs some tired old broken statement to back up their lack of argument. When anyone says that the proper response is always “One turn deserves another”. A equally useless ambiguous statement in response.
Shit clings to one another until some other shit comes along.
That’s rough what is that, my brain and psyche are all so fucked I started to think about fucking all of the billionaires
Adapt to the world you live in, I guess 🤷♂️
He noted that taking ivermectin and fenbendazole to treat the cancer did not work.
What about ibogaine and benzos?
Didn’t tried bleach or sunlight?
Wait. Scott Adams died in January and I didn’t know!? Where is his grave? I have a dance routine I’d love to perform.
Don’t forget to hydrate.
I will say, the Dilbert guy died, looo CR CR Scott Adams died, oh what a tiresome little dfuck HaruphadumphHaruphadumph
c/strokeposting
I feel like Mickey wouldn’t be THAT shocked.
now get out there and make me some goddamn money *huh* *huh*
That’s not his shocked face. That’s his ‘I have found my people’ face.
Is is weird for a black mouse to be racist against black people? Well. Yes. Especially since there are quite a few colors of mice.
Nah, Mickey is public domain now. He’s ours.
The song of the Souuuthhh…
Oh, Scott Adams died?
Nothing of value was lost.
I used to like his comics as a kid but now, having worked as a software developer for years… I’m starting to look at them different. He was always so fucking demeaning about the pointy haired bald boss, made him an absolute idiot. The constant joke was that the chad Dilbert was smarter than the idiot manager who never understood a thing about technology.
I bet Scott was an absolute fucking asshole in the office and hated having to be told what to do by people he saw as less than him.
I had a boss in a development job once, post dot com that made the pointy haired boss look like a genius. He wasn’t just uneducated, he was mean and sometimes awful.
One of his favorite games was three options. For every task he wanted three options to do it. Once you gave him three, he would pick what he deemed the worst of the three just to watch people squirm.
One day after a particularly uninspired rant, one of the devs waited till he went to lunch and threw his keys into the recycling shredder box. I never went that far myself, but I fully understood it.
Did you get promoted recently?
