In April 2011 he also made a sockpuppet account on MetaFilter to jerk himself off with self-aggrandization while pretending to just be a fan, only to be called out basically immediately by regular MetaFilter users.

There’s so many ways to suck and this guy tried basically all of them.
I’m a member there, and it was ugly. He just couldn’t imagine anyone not sharing his opinion of himself as a genius.
Almost literal self-suck
Adams did not go into detail about his treatments, other than saying the anti-parasitic medications ivermectin and fenbendazole did not work for him. There is no evidence to support the claims that ivermectin — which was falsely touted as a treatment for COVID-19 — can treat cancer.
If he skipped out on standard treatments in favor of a self prescribed regimen of fucking ivermectin then he deserves a Darwin Award. If he did both then I guess hope can do funny things to people even if the source is conspiracy nonsense.
I had to look up his bio (where I learned that he had just died, this post makes more sense now) and found that he actually had no biological children, so he would actually be eligible for a Darwin Award.
I’ve heard that people think he tried a variety of quack treatments alongside doctor prescribed treatments. Basically generally desperate and ready to try everything all at once. Which is a common theme among terminal patients.
But he did say antivax stuff, after having been vaccinated. So at least when his own personal stakes are low, he was willing to roll with the MAGA rhetoric, but he wasn’t about to let his own life be at additional risk for it.
Because he and Biden had the same cancer. He actually explicitly said Trump was wrong for being mean to Biden over it. If Adams didn’t have the same disease, he probably would have piled on.
When you’re out of good options, you try the bad ones.
Lol. Dude got scammed to death.
Is this really how I find out? Anyways that fuckin weirdo can eat shit
I found out via this meme lol
Caption: “RIP bozo”
It’s really tragic that we have lost this sexual god
Just skimmed part of those links and… wow what a looney.
Too late. He died today.
Must have eaten shit…
But was the shit vegan?
What the fuck?
The dude who draws the guy with a tie pointed upwards? That’s literally all I know regarding him. I see a ton of people happy that he’s dead but absolutely no idea why. Even the couple of links here don’t shed any light on the details of ‘why’.
To sum it up, he was. Racist, sexist, xenophobic, hateful, a liar, manipulator, and apologist for some of the worse people of the last few decades
Dude was an absolute piece of shit.
Furthermore he was utterly obsessed with his own supposed genius.
I feel bad now for liking that step about the device with the single button.
He went on an unhinged racist rant about Black Lives Matter in 2023, ending with something along the lines of “white people get as far away from black people as possible.” More details on his Wiki page but that’s the high level.
If you have like 4 hours to fill

I’m not super familiar with btb except that they cover bastards like kissinger. To see that they did a 4 hour episode on the DILBERT GUY… Jesus christ.
Oof
He didn’t ‘do’ anything. He’s just another artist/entertainer who doubled down on magatry despite their career being built by a diversity of loyal fans. Just another famous idiot finding out after fucking around.
Wayne Gretzky is still considered the greatest hockey player of all time… but as far as most Canadians are concerned his home ice is in Mara Lago now.
He didn’t ‘do’ anything.
untrue. he spread and normalized hate speech and misinformation. he damaged lives with his platform and negligence. I would even go as far to say his anti-vaccine rhetoric killed at least one person, probably more.
he labeled black Americans as a hate group which I’m certain normalized the racism in certain groups and only served to take away more opportunities away from POC.
he also questioned the amount of deaths during the Holocaust, attempting to minimize the impact of the deaths.
dude was more than a piece of shit. now he’s a slowly rotting corpse.
Agreed. That’s why I put “scare quotes” around the word “do” to imply that he actually did do something. I wasn’t defending them I was responding specifically to the comment above.
Even the couple of links here don’t shed any light on the details of ‘why’.
The why is simply that an entertainer disrespecting the fans that supported their success is a recipe for failure.
I just assumed they were the weird emphasis quotes people do for some reason
Nah the emphasis was the italics.
