I'm ashamed of having liked Dilbert a lot in the past
Nothing wrong with enjoying content someone makes in my opinion, you can't know the opinions and ideals of everyone at every time.
Yeah I like a lot of Mel Gibson’s movie even though he turned out to be an antisemitic douchebag. I’ll watch them but I won’t pay to watch them.
Dilbert struck a chord with my IT friends and me but yes his politics are a complete meet of mental gymnastics.
Yeah a sharp distinction between good and evil, where bad people can never do anything good, is one of those ideas that makes a lot of sense emotionally but utterly zero sense rationally. There's simply no reason someone can't be a good cartoonist while also being a racist.
