It’s something I struggle with. Some bad news comes out about some public persona doing something shitty and they get cancelled. But sometimes I really struggle with giving up the things they’ve made because I like them. There are also occasions where the person has been accused of something and it doesn’t seem true to me, or I think they’re genuinely sorry and have been punished enough, and the context isn’t being considered.
What do you think? Who do you feel conflicted about enjoying?
Scott Adams. Author of the “Dilbert” comics.
Such an extraordinary humorist and brilliant thinker! Got canceled for political opinion, a few statements that were taken as racist, but which I guess >90% of Americans would get away with.
I nearly had to vomit when I learned how and why the media industry suddenly censored all the comics and everything else that he published.
Just checked his Wikipedia page. I am having a hard time understanding how you are justifying what he has said. He’s a piece of shit who made a funny comic.
Yeah, I agree, except for the funny part. Dilbert is only a half-step above Garfield in terms of humor, and is almost as badly drawn.
The comic isn’t even funny
I am not American. To me “to justify” is not the same as “to get away with”.
So because you are not American, the crappy things he said do not make him a crappy person? How does that make sense?
He is why I believe in lead poisoning.
Too many times do I see creators who were brilliant and pushing a really specific forward thinking agenda, only for 1-2 decades later to be completely against it.
The guy who wrote Dilbert? Really?
