what does he mean “fucked up the only defining feature”. i mean im all for shitting on scott adams, but that dilbert looks normal to me
from a quick google image search, dilbert doesnt have a mouth
I think it’s smiling specifically. It’s honestly a stupid thing to rant about, there was a short-lived Dilbert animated TV show where he had a mouth, so this level of nit-picking is simply petty.
While that is a solid theory, I think it might be the tie? That’s the thing I immediately think of, anyway, and the AI has drawn it curving towards his right shoulder instead of curling forward
no, thats what i thought too, and the tie seems normal
It’s not, the AI has drawn it like it stays flat against his shirt. We should be seeing the underside of the tip of the tie (that’s how actual Dilbert was consistently drawn), but the AI just has it curving rightward
Just imagine all the times Dilbert sported a smile in the comics.
ohhhh
I’m not up to date on the meta. Why was he evil?
On top of everything else, I think he was the “Trump is actually playing 4D chess” guy. Insane how he made a comic about how the elites are stupid and selfish parasites only to completely jerk them off at every opportunity.
Over the years, American cartoonist Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, attracted controversy for comments about race and gender, among other issues. In a 2011 blog post he wrote: “The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone.” Adams also became a vocal supporter of conservative policies, and his views began to appear in Dilbert. Notably, a number of storylines were critical of wokeness.
In 2018 Adams debuted Real Coffee With Scott Adams, a podcast that livestreamed on YouTube. On the program he interviewed various guests and spoke on current events, including politics. In 2023 Adams faced a backlash when he said, among other things, “the best advice I would give to white people is to get the hell away from Black people.” 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.
The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone.
What a flawed way of thinking. His entire life is just spent being a discriminatory prick; sexism, ageism, ableism and racism could be deduced from this sole comment, it is sad that this is the life he had chosen.
Instead of unifying people irrespective of gender, age, race, etc. He choose to go against his own kind - like the narcissist he is.
I didn’t realize he had died and saw a few posts about how weird and self-serving he was, on top of the racism. 3 years ago a bunch of papers dropped Dilbert over him going on a racist rant.
He also questioned the Holocaust and a bunch of other wildly weird shit.

Long before this, he made sock puppet accounts online and posed as his own superfan to pump his own shit up. And was quickly found out.

His Twitter account says a lot, and Elon defended his 2023 racist rant if that also says anything. Apparently also a Truth Social account as well.

So it’s not just about political leanings, it’s the ego, racism, and being a shitbag and troll online. Typical thin-skinned Conservative on the internet, ultimately. And hey, I don’t know what it’s like to be a public figure (thank the gods), but I certainly wouldn’t have so much ego and so little self-awareness as to go on reddit pretending to be someone else and talking myself up. His descent should be a warning to any of us with parents or grandparents his age.
Outspoken pro Trump and what many people would call “right wing”. For me that term is too nice though.
Oh, he died?
Good. Hope it hurt on the way out, too.
Well, it was cancer, so certainly unpleasant, but depending on the meds he was given, possibly relatively painless.
I also enjoy how entirely human and not at all like wax figures the trumpet and the couch connoisseur look. Someone generated that picture and thought to themselves, yep, that’s how humans look, no doubt about it.
I could immediately recognize the cartoon character. That “defining detail” can’t be so important.
