Sucks that you had to be a Trump supporting racist, Mr. Scott Adams.

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.

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.)

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

Oh, Scott Adams died?

Nothing of value was lost.

[–] terranoid@lemmy.cafe 46 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 50 points 1 month ago

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.

Dilbert would have hated Adams. PHB is basically Trump and somehow he completely missed it. What a shame.

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

No no no. PHB is Elon Musk, 100%. (Doesn't know shit about anything and is dumber than a bag of rocks, but is still very enthusiastic about going forth and fucking things up.) Trump is like the CEO of Dilbert's company (a lot dumber than the PHB, but fortunately too stupid to function most of the time, so his direct subordinates have to do the actual day-to-day fuck-ups, leaving only the most gigantic massive fuck-ups for him to handle personally).

Edit: And of course it comes as no surprise that when Adams went into the deep end, he worked to "rehabilitate" PHB and other dumb manager characters and made them look better. He was no man of principle, you see.

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.

[–] Ferroto@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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 died in prison. Wait why was he in prison? OH... oh no.

Don't google your heros kids.

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.

Well damn, I totally missed that Scott Adams died!

Its late but I still feel like something celebratory is deserved... Maybe a bowl of ice cream with a birthday candle? Yeah I'm gonna go with that.

Dilbert was never funny anyway. Fight me about it.

[–] imadethis@fedinsfw.app 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

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.

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.'"
