He fell into the trap of thinking his success came from being a genius, so when people don’t like his crappy opinions he just assumes everyone else is wrong
Unfortunately people like him rarely do. He got Dilbert dropped from most papers in 2023 for (in the most charitable interpretation) having a completely tone deaf reaction to a poll about race relations. Rather than think about why everyone got so angry with him he said his words were taken out of context and that they were hyperbole.
That’s pretty funny in the sense of a company trying to sell themselves as diverse and whatnot while being really offensive to the actual people. I can see a corporation doing that

This explanation is awesomely succinct and also explains some people I know that I could never easily pinpoint why they bothered me. Thanks!
That’s tough. Good perspective, hopefully he’ll see this and do some reflecting on his life. Probably not but I still hope so

I know he never would, but I really want him to give the proper context for that to not be offensive.
