Scott Adams, the renowned American author and cartoonist behind the massively successful Dilbert comic strip has often stirred controversy with his views on social and political issues. But, he recently went too far for the liking of various news outlets and distributors, forcing many to drop Dilbert.
Was Scott a victim of ‘Wokeness?’
It appears Scott canceled himself as it’s no wonder very few big-name publishers, if any, would want to associate with him after that.
Hey fellas, call your wife or girlfriend a fat pig in front of a bunch of people and you’ll learn firsthand about something called “consequences.” Don’t be surprised if she leaves you just as Scott’s publishers siloed him.
Newsflash: The are repercussions for our actions; for what we say and do.
So, what about free speech?
Adams freely expressed an opinion and isn’t going to jail as a result of using that right. HOWEVER, publishers are also free to exercise their right to cut business ties with him.
And they are.

If Scott Adams wasn’t a cruel, racist, heinously insensitive asshole… it might’ve worked out differently.

This isn’t wokeness.
This isn’t political correctness.
This isn’t cancel culture.
This is consequences.

Scott isn’t taking rejection well.

Amazing how glaringly entitled he feels he is to freely spew hate & racism, and cloak it as constitutionally protected,
It’s not cancel culture, it’s just simple rejection. 🤷♂️
He gets called a racist, because he is a racist. What did he expect?

It’s become pervasive in right-wing neofascist culture. They see themselves as victims and not perpetrators while holding up their weapon at everyone. The more they do this, the more they sow division, hate, and blame on other Americans who is tired of their shit.
