Rest in piss, racist trash
I used to like Dilbert
Shame he won’t live to see a world without ethnics, women, gays, etc etc…
🥰
What’s up with that emoji?
It’s the warm and fuzzy feeling you get when a piece of shit is no longer polluting the world.
Can give more information, wasn’t clear on his personal politics.
Lots of good examples in this thread already.
The normal spread of -ists you’d expect from a MAGA supporter.
:)
I feel weird about this. Like it’s his second death or something.
He used to be someone who was just giving welcome comic relief to office workers, and came off as reflected and humble.
Then he got a stroke and …opinions. How related they were I don’t know, and how latent his cruel opinions were I honestly don’t know.
Whether he always was utterly evil but it just didn’t surface, or he just broke someway, it felt like a person died back then. I still miss who I thought he was.
And now he is dead again.
There are so many family caretakers that have a similar unfortunate dichotomy in their minds. Like everyone else is mourning at the funeral, but they saw that person “die” a decade ago, leaving behind a husk of hate, forgetfulness, or missing energy.
I feel the same way, but had no idea he’d had a stroke around the time of the big change. If true that makes it a bit easier to separate the man from his art for me.
Didn’t something similar happen with the US politician John Fetterman? I recall he was a darling of the Democratic party, then post-stroke turned radically ‘right’.
Yep, that’s fetterman.
brain damage is needed to be a Republican, look at orange shit for brains, he doesn’t have a brain and he’s their leader
Where does it all come from?
IDK all the great scientists are either working on boner pills, hair regrowth or weapons, so no one knows
He was always a racist.
Nice!
Damn, this is the first time I’m hearing about this guy being a piece of shit. Would love to hear people chime in with the shit he’s pulled for others like me to see.
Here is the first episode of Behind the Bastards covering the guy: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ZlIuEIgLRNxfJWxiv4asn
Here’s a scratch off the top:
He previously questioned the death toll of the Holocaust, said he had lost multiple jobs for being white and falsely claimed that people who didn’t get vaccinated against COVID-19 “clearly are the winners” of the pandemic (he acknowledged getting vaccinated in Monday’s video). Dozens of newspapers dropped the strip in 2022 after Adams introduced its first Black character and veered into anti-woke plotlines.
I don’t know if I’m more shocked that Adams didn’t have a black character before 2022 or that newspapers were still carrying an overt racist’s strip in 2022.
wait, i thought the elbonians were black.
I always saw them as some kind of Eastern European caricature
it’s been so long i really don’t remember. we’re both right maybe
They’re white. Sort of Russian caricatures, I think.
Me: “Everyone’s hating on him. Lemmy is so sensitive, it’s probably over nothing”

ohhh, ohhhhhhhh
There’s a pretty thorough write-up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/150bkal/comic_strips_so_i_think_it_makes_no_sense/
Thanks. That was… a lot.
Wow I didn’t realize how much I missed the hobbydrama subreddit, one of the goat communities.
Also yeah, that’s very accurate but also it’s worthwhile to understand he was also incredibly cringe in an old school atheism subreddit way. Fully convinced he was the smartest person in the world and everyone who disagreed with him was because they’re stupid. He was basically 4chan the person
Damn, this is the first time I’m hearing about this guy being a piece of shit
Me too.
But it Expains the 20+ down votes I got. Reading more comments, they are well deserved
A lot of Adams’ conservative activities were summarized in the Variety article, which is why I chose to post a link to it, as opposed to other articles.
There’s an episode of the Behind the Bastards podcast devoted to him. Covers it pretty well.
It’s such a great shame that he died
after ruining his legacy
Agreed. Not a fan of what he became, but Dilbert was great.
Based on accounts I’ve read, he was always racist and an anti-intellectual. He just got more bold. He was a very early Trump supporter.
WAS. Hadn’t been for a long time.
Fair. Admittedly, I haven’t read it in a long time.
Idk that seems perfect for them
maybe, people should have different names for different periods of their lives and we should treat them as different people.
Good riddance

Fuck dilbert, fuck Adams, fuck his legacy, rest in pain
Stephen Pastis I feel has so well captured the melancholy of life that when he passes, while it won’t be big news, I will care deeply.
Anyways, what a fun obituary. Really nice news.
Is Pastis having health problems?
He had some I’m the past and now he’s just 60 and a drinker and a smoker and seems to be trying to live how he wants cause screw it.
He doesnt seem the type to want to live forever so I’m just appreciating him now.Yeah, that seems pretty accurate.
Rest in piss
And no one of value was lost
🎉🎉🎉
