    Feeling this.

    I was such a fanboy. Long before I could even work, I was obsessed. I even read God’s Debris and as a teen thought it was fire.

    I got an office job (call centre) because of Dilbert. I thought everything was so fucking funny because people were talking just like in my favourite comic.

    I think I can say without embarrassment that the art style was incredibly cute. Very kawaii. I loved the characters’ wide eyes and semicircle mouths like when they’re mindlessly bullshitting. :D

    I know it’s parasocial, but I’m disappointed in myself for how badly I misjudged Scott Adams.

      My worst opinion might be that terrible people can (and often enough do) make good creative output. Nice folks with no internal strife to burn off can work competently, but are not always deeply compelling.

        Yeah that’s pretty toxic, but maybe there’s a kernel of truth to it. I wonder if any serious thought or study has gone into this phenomenon (if it even is one).

          I’m open to being wrong, but I did say it might be my worst opinion

          Edit: typo

            I chose my words poorly. I think there’s merit to your ill take, though would love to be proved wrong.
