Uh... Kupo?

I'm just surprised he blew up his cash cow. For years he was able to make an absurd amount of money by following this formula:

Be a racist without being too loud

And he still hosed it up. What a loving maroon. Racists can never keep it zipped can they, goddamn. silent generation my rear end.

Imagine ever liking Dilbert.

I learned about Dilbert existing from Leisuretown, when he had to change the in-comic Dilbert Hole to different characters because Adams or his publisher C&D'd him. I thought "sounds like an rear end in a top hat", looked at one strip, thought "what an rear end in a top hat" and ignored it from then on.

It's always a good idea to do the opposite of anything Scott Adams says and in this case it's pretty obvious that you must kill your father

I really wish someone would respond to "I Identify As X" defenses with "what actions have you taken to overcome what prejudices other than just invoking it as a magic word?"

But that would be an actual debate and the shithead is not there for a debate, they're there to get off on outrage.

A fellow computer toucher once told me a joke about 12-15 years ago that whenever he would find Dilbert funny was the time he knew he had to quit his current job and look elsewhere. I kinda of agreed since that strip's writing was generally pretty drat lame even for corporate world jokes.

It is now the future. Elong Musk claims this his favorite strip ever, funny and insightful, while Scott Adams killed his cash cow by dropping any pretense of not being racist. And he's also claiming he used to pretend to be black whenever it was socially beneficial?? What in the blazes.

I can't even fathom what Scott Adams even means when he says he identified as black because he seems to think that saying it did actually make him black. You can't just say it to people and then have them treat you as if you are black, that's not remotely how it works.

Wow, that would be a pretty loving lovely jab especially for someone in extreme hot water and at a risk of losing it all.

Which would be on brand for Scott Adams, I guess.

I don't know if that's how it started and he's pivoted when he realized how bad that sounds, but he has been offering genuine-sounding, completely-batshit extra details that make it seem like he really thought he was living his life as a black man for a long time just by saying he identified as black.

A reminder for the folks at home: Scott "Dilbert" Adams is/was a big fan of The Secret and - at least once upon a time - was happy to say in public that he could literally change reality via the power of thinking about poo poo.

So if he says that he identified as black for several years, I totally buy that he said that and expected to be black when he believed it.

The rules of grammar have evolved. It's now grammatically correct to end a sentence with a preposition. This is because many sentences that purposely avoid doing so sound awkward as hell.
