Sorry if you still enjoy #Dilbert. But you should know that #ScottAdams has been full-blown #MAGA since 2016. He decided not to hide the #racism anymore and is now saying the white supremacy bits in public. So naturally he is "being cancelled," which is #MAGA for "experiencing consequences because nobody wants to be associated with or provide a platform his bigoted views."

Here's the gift article from the NY Times.

#ConsequenceCulture not #CancelCulture. Nobody wants to associate with a racist. White supremacy poisons humor.
From the article above:
[#ScottAdams] also appeared to be reckoning with the rapid fallout, saying that “most of my income will be gone by next week” and that “my reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed.”

More excerpts:
--------
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that it had stopped carrying “Dilbert” months ago because of jokes he made about reparations and efforts to diversify the workplace.
“His strip went from being hilarious to being hurtful and mean,” Emilio Garcia-Ruiz, the editor in chief of The Chronicle, said. “Very few readers noticed when we killed it, and we only had a handful of complaints.”

“most of my income will be gone by next week” and that “my reputation for the rest of my life is destroyed.”

He’s in the “find out” phase that occurs after F-ing around.

@atheistengineer Having worked with at Pac Bell at the same time as #scottadams, I noticed waaay back in the '90's that he specifically chose to misrepresent the true diversity amongst the employee base. Perhaps someday someone will do a study on the #Racist depictions of my fellow co-workers - his characters are almost exclusively WHITE (at least back then). What a disgusting man then and even more so today.

Good Riddance, #DOGBUTT!!

@atheistengineer important content ofc to make sure we have established but why are you linking to NYT when I thought we all dropped that newspaper for harmful excessive transphobia promoting (further) trans genocide related to Brianne? Is there not a better place to link to? Someplace else covering this?

@PepperQT yeah. I didn't drop NYT. They're still mostly reliable content. Agree@their decisions about transphobic opeds are crap. But their news is reliable.
