I disagree with ya there mookie. He doesn't enjoy doing Dilbert but it brings in tons of cash and still makes him relevant. it's his ace in the hole for any of his dumb debates too. "if I'm so stupid and wrong, how come I made millions doing newspaper comics when I can't even draw?" before this no matter what dumb shit he said he was still the guy behind a universally known comic strip. now he's the dude who lost his comic strip because he was so racist. not to mention his book publishing deal, which I suspect he cares about more. I mean sure he's probably cool with not having to do it anymore but it can't feel good to just destroy your whole legacy like that.

I'm sure he pulled a Jason Richards and now, rather than admitting it, he's doubling down.

these are old -- and possibly were posted upthread -- but this is the level of cognition we are dealing with here. scott adams is crazy.
This is a man who published a best-selling book in the 90s where he earnestly argued that the only reason he was famous is because he wrote “I will be a successful cartoonist” 10 times on a napkin. It has been known that he is crazy for decades.

conservative trolls love this One Weird Trick where they pretend things don't have any context, so they can say things like "All Lives Matter" both as a way to minimize BLM and to get liberals to disagree so they can point and say "wow look they're the real racists!" same logic that makes them go "ok folks the OK sign now means Heil Hilter" so they can say "wow liberals triggered by the OK sign!". Scott Adams is I think the rare troll who legitimately thinks nobody understands the obvious, either that or he really is that insanely racist

I’m not going to link cos the tweet contains a racial slur but someone dug up an ancient forum post about it & this was mentioned by other people.
In like 2003 or 2004 someone on a forum I used looked up Scott Adams’s email address on AIM and he had multiple explicitly racist handles on there, one of which was just like “I hate [n-word]”They emailed him to ask if those were his and he responded in one word, “no”— Katelyn Best (@BestKabest) February 27, 2023
― giant bat fucker (gyac), Tuesday, 28 February 2023 14:17 (one year ago) link
eh that was the era before email verification, if I remember the old days of AIM you just needed to have any ol' email address in there. so most likely some teenager probably just nicked it from the funny pages.

ok I admit "either" was a bad choice of words, just saying the vast majority of famous conservatives know you don't go full Kanye/Nick Fuentes if you want to keep your job, so you have to offer some layer of plausible deniability, and the way Scott Adams does this is hilariously bad, like "they can't arrest you if you declare yourself a sovereign citizen" type logic

those tweets about his stepson were legit disturbing. Sounds like he refused to pay for rehab or something and the kid died? And then he took this attitude of "There was no way anyone could have stopped this, in fact it's better that he died because he was dangerous to others (me)"

“One, Dilbert needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two, whenever Scott's not onscreen during a TV debate about race, all the other guests should be asking ‘Where’s Scott?'”

the overt racism is probably gonna overshadow everything but it's truly astonishing how thoroughly weird this guy is, and maybe always has been. like even in The Dilbert Future he spent one chapter trying to disprove gravity and another crediting all his success to writing down his goals 15 times on a piece of paper. he once wrote a blog post saying he could give you the best orgasms of your life and claimed a bunch of people wrote him to say he made them jizz in their pants. he said he knew hypnotism was real because he was once "hypnotized" into spending thousands of dollars on camgirls. at one point he developed Spasmodic Dysphonia and for a year could apparently only speak in rhyme (unfortunately for his career, he did eventually regain his ability to speak). he tried opening a restaurant which failed spectacularly because, according to the people he hired, literally the only thing he cared about was the lighting. there's so much more I'm probably forgetting.

He has a "Dilbert shaped wall" in his house and, in looking for that, I found a news article that — if I'm reading this correctly — is about some time in 2004 where he had a computer drew a dream house on the internet like Bongo or Bart Simpson and that made the news?
