Scott Adams dead: "Dilbert" creator turned conservative commentator dies at 68

[Zany Zebra]

Scott Adams was a complex dude . On one hand, his comic strip "Dilbert" was hilarious & relatable . It's crazy how it went from being just a funny strip to a media empire ! But then he had some super problematic moments ... like those racist comments on his podcast . I mean, come on, Scott, get away from those hate groups . It's not cool. And what's up with the Holocaust stuff? Not sure if he was just trolling or genuinely misinformed. Anyway, RIP Scott Adams . He gave it his all & left a mark on the world .

sadly he just kept getting more out of touch with reality and i mean what's up with the whole dilbert thing tho, it was funny at first but dude was all like corporate jargon is real and that's it, meanwhile he was still living his best life, got to travel and meet cool people... anyway, r.i.p scott adams

the news of scott adams passing away at 68 is kinda sad, you know? it's like, he gave it everything he had, but at what cost? all those years of fighting prostate cancer, dealing with the backlash from his podcast... it's like, was it all worth it?

i mean, scott adams was a complex guy, and people are still gonna have opinions about him. some ppl loved him for making them laugh, others hated him for saying things that were just plain wrong. but what i think is really interesting is how he managed to create this huge media empire around "dilbert" while also being super open about his own flaws and mistakes.

it's like, we're all human, right? we all make mistakes, we all say things we regret. but scott adams was different, in that he was willing to put himself out there, no matter how uncomfortable it got. and that's what makes his story so fascinating, imo

man what a wild ride his life was ... like think about it, this dude spent decades creating something that brought joy to millions, but also got roasted for being pretty brutally honest ... and yet he still managed to keep pushing boundaries, even if some people didn't agree with him ... I mean we're living in a time where ppl can get so caught up in being "PC" that they forget the value of tough conversations ... Adams may have rubbed some folks the wrong way, but he was unapologetically himself, even if that meant walking on eggshells sometimes ... and now he's gone, leaving behind a legacy that's both polarizing and fascinating ... what does it say about our society when someone like Adams can be so iconic, yet still be seen as problematic?

Scott Adams was a complex figure... I think his passing will have people reflecting on his body of work – was he a genius or a provocateur? "Dilbert" was a game-changer for satire, but some of his personal views are tough to stomach... Still, he's had an impact that'll keep being debated for years to come. RIP

sad to hear about Scott Adams ... I mean, the dude was crazy talented but his last few years were pretty messed up ... all those controversies surrounding him kinda cancelled out the humor and satire he was known for in Dilbert ... still can't believe he made racist comments on a podcast ... and questioning Holocaust death tolls? that's just not okay ... Trump praising him as "brave" is also wild, considering Adams was all about expressing his conservative views and hurting others with them ... anyway, it's over now, and Dilbert fans can finally put the drama to rest
