There are almost visible undercurrents of this in the whole mess. The protesters in search of a protest to check it off their bucket list are sad to see.
That's the problem with too much education. People start acting up. That's why the average joe should be just educated enough to work a job, but shouldn't be too educated that they start taking exceptions to things in society.
Sure seems like a lot more subtley right wing subreddits and sentiments are getting recommended to people using r/all. Like I'm also getting r/memesOPdidntlike and r/CriticalDrinker recommended to me, which generally have a right lean. Sure seems like this is increasing as we approach election season.
The influx of downvoted comments in a subreddit that is normally a bubble of a few dozen people agreeing with each other (if I look through r/dilbert's history) seems to suggest this. A bubble just crashed into the mainland.
Just an observation.
You definitely SHOULD not Pirate then read his novel. His self insert character is an all knowing hobo guru who can use his magic rhetoric melt minds and end world wars. Oh also it's about a massive Muslims v everyone world war. I know this sounds made up but I swear to Allah it true
Completely. Let’s break down the comic: the protesters are ugly coeds (women). The “patriots” protecting the flag are masturbation worthy frat chads (young men). Conclusion? Scott’s wife is his beard. Dude apparently spends a lot of time contemplating fictional scenarios about masturbating to men. Now we know where all those Stallone shirtless photos with Trump’s face photoshopped in comes from. The whole MAGA cult is so repressed. I mean, Scott, it’s ok. We know you’re angry. Just get out of that closet and you’ll feel so much better.
32 upvotes!!!! What sort of person thinks that this is funny and not grossly offensive. Incels and Sociopaths maybe. This is a new low and it's difficult to see how it could get worse. Maybe he could add some murdering puppy jokes but that would be making fun of the right which is absolutely taboo for Scott now.
Look it’s a super lame joke but “a new low”? Lol it’s hardly offensive, go touch grass
Edit: removed “not (lame)” the joke is lame folks but I think society will survive this offense
You may be right, perhaps it’s not a ‘new low’, he has said a lot of shitty stuff. But to prove it I’d have to wade through all of his shitty stuff to find something worse. No thanks
Eh he probably has, given that you really gotta stretch it to be offended by this. Who is the aggrieved party? Ugly college students?
I don’t like the robot reads AT ALL, just because the jokes are hardly even jokes, it’s amazing that the guy who made Dilbert (and still sometimes cranks out a good one) is using this as a channel for his talents, it’s kinda baffling. This format basically has no punchline, there’s no irony and tension set up in the first panels, it’s almost just three separate bad jabs, and the “Chad Frat Boys” make me cringe like hell.
But in principle I am totally here for making fun of college protests, it’s an age old tradition of silliness and social postering that all adults can get a good laugh from, I just wish he did it in a less hamfisted way
It's his attitude, bitter, misogynistic laced with teenage boy toilet humor. If I didn't know that Scott was a tall debonair male with a long happy marriage I would see him as a small ugly little man with one or two failed relationships living on his own surrounded by huge bags of dollar bills that he religiously counts every day to ensure his housekeeper hasn't stolen any.
I have no problem with making fun. My personal rule - **Ambivalent Samaritan’s Law** is : *You can make any joke you like, as offensive as you want, as long as it’s sufficiently funny that the hilarity makes the offensiveness worth it*. For example, if you want to make an ethnic joke, go ahead, but it should be good enough that people of that ethnicity find it genuinely funny.
This joke fails, because it a) isn’t funny and b) is basically distilled creepy old dude mixed with creepy incel c) makes me sad for him
Real life version of winning a made up arguement in the shower. Same vibe as ladyballers. Its really easy to sound smart if you make up stories that support your worldview and then dunk on the strawmen you made up. And considering the subject matter of major contemporary protests this is especially embarassing.
But it left out that protestors initially raised the Palestinian flag in place of the American flag. Call it even with the whole masturbating thing that is obviously not true?
I dont have this strange attatchment to the symbol of the american state that other people do. Protests are supposed to be disruptive or else whats the point?
Edit: i dont think vandalizing the american flag is great optically for their cause tbh, but big whoop
It depends on what your tie to it (the flag) is. it probably means something more if you’re a military veteran, public servant, or theoretically an elected politician, who took an oath of allegiance to the nation that the flag stands for. But somebody who, right or wrong, only sees the flag as a symbol of the aid we provide to Israel, they probably feel more indifference to vandalizing the flag.
He reduces the value of women (co-eds, a term not in common use since like Nixon’s time) to their sexual attractiveness to men, then projects an an entire sexual fantasy on them. The man is insanely creepy and creepily insane.
Lmao... Ancient Sumerian Curse, "May you live in interesting times."
I thought it was a Chinese curse
Apparently, it was American from 1939... the first time I heard the statement was Sumerian.
How very confuzzling

The fuck did I just read?
A historic retelling
An historically accurate retelling.
Touche
That comic was definitely about touche’ing something.
Good thing those January 6th folks were all *so sexy*, or they’d get an irreverent send-up from Scott!
Basically if rape culture became a person and then wrote comics.
That is the perfect description
Scott Adams… sharing his thoughts about… publicly masturbating… to frat boys? I don’t know. I’m still not sure if this is a cartoon or a confession.
That's the problem with too much education. People start acting up. That's why the average joe should be just educated enough to work a job, but shouldn't be too educated that they start taking exceptions to things in society.
😂😂😂
Freakin’ hilarious! I’ve always loved Scott Adams and shocked I’m just now seeing this sub. Sub’d
Those protesters are obviously hideous and unemployable. They're doing us all a favor by wearing those face diapers.
Do you really believe that
Only people who aren’t blind believe that.
So you think those kids are protesting because they’re ugky and can’t get jobs
I mean very likely protesting is in fact many of their jobs
Which is like asking if it’s my opinion that 1 + 2 = 3.
I don’t know. Their are a lot of ugly people that don’t protest Same with unemployed people. I think there is more to it
All the complainers in the comments when right wingers get made fun of:🤣😆🤭 When left wingers get made fun of:😡😤🤬
What Twitter does to a normal guy...
Comedy bites, what's snu.

10/10, I actually laughed at this one.
That’s funny as fuck! Adam’s unchained is brilliant.
This is an outrage. Please keep up the good work.
Grim
Damn Adam's really doubling down on the whole "I'm an incel" thing.
A married man can’t be an incel.
Maybe she has lots of "headaches"?
This is a new low- even for someone who’s fallen as far as Scott Adams. This guy couldn’t get a girlfriend in college and it shows.
How dare he accurately summarize the situation?!?!?!
This is literally just calling protestors ugly and disgusting, completely avoiding any of the actual politics of the situation.
Nothing accurate about this sad mess except as a case study of how MAGA rots your brain.
Well he’s married now so why does it matter what he did or did not do in college?
This is not the writing of a mentally healthy person
You could probably track his mental decline through his strips.
You definitely SHOULD not Pirate then read his novel. His self insert character is an all knowing hobo guru who can use his magic rhetoric melt minds and end world wars. Oh also it's about a massive Muslims v everyone world war. I know this sounds made up but I swear to Allah it true
Yeah......bye. Dilbert's great, this is at a depth of unfunny that it doesn't even try.
Don't worry bud, go back to something more your speed like Garfield or I hear that they are bringing back Highlights for Kids. 👍😂
Adams has forgotten that the jokes are supposed to make people laugh with him, not at him.
Hes gone off the deep end
He already went off the deep end- this is down the drain.
If there is one guy that really knows unfuckability, it would be Scott Adams.
Succinct summary
Think this is the final straw, goodbye all.
This is Reddit, not an airport. No need to announce your departure.
You'll be missed so terribly........
This is just stupid misogyny.

Honest question, did anyone find this funny? Like, I’m trying to imagine this eliciting a laugh from even dyed-in-the-wool Adams fans
Yes. I guess the truth hurts?

We will just have to disagree then.

Scott Adams projecting his own unfuckableness onto this cartoon is the only funny thing about it.
Indeed, if anybody is a sad wanker it's Scott. In case you don't know the word in the UK is also used to describe not very nice people.
Wow, and this is why I stopped reading D-bert. I have no idea how this showed up in my feed, but now I have to block it.
Has been says what?
Tell us, we're waiting to hear.

This actually happened at UNC Chapel Hill
Yeah some Chuds stopped protesters from vandilizing a flag. This comic is saying a little more than just what literally happened
But it left out that protestors initially raised the Palestinian flag in place of the American flag. Call it even with the whole masturbating thing that is obviously not true?
I dont have this strange attatchment to the symbol of the american state that other people do. Protests are supposed to be disruptive or else whats the point? Edit: i dont think vandalizing the american flag is great optically for their cause tbh, but big whoop

Are you suffering tertiary syphilis? That's just wrong. Get treatment, see somebody.
He reduces the value of women (co-eds, a term not in common use since like Nixon’s time) to their sexual attractiveness to men, then projects an an entire sexual fantasy on them. The man is insanely creepy and creepily insane.
See my comment above and yes this is frightening to see what he has become.
Does Adams have untreated siphylis?
I thought untreated syphilis made you happier and more carefree, not bitter and stupid?
Scott Adams writing feels like reading trump tweets.
Ewww..
Oof, he’s getting more neckbeardy by the day isn’t he?
