    To the person, it was a bowl of water that would help them get through the day. To the fish, it was a kaiju coming to end their lives and consume their world.

        I’m embarrassed that I liked that guy in the 90s.

          Don’t be. We’ve all enjoyed media that was made by problematic people or media that later became problematic. I didn’t know shit about Scott Adams when I started reading the strip and I really enjoyed it. I didn’t know the pointy haired boss was the hero of the story.

          I loved Ender’s Game as a misunderstood gifted kid. Once I grew up I enjoyed the others. Then I found out that he’s a raging bigoted jackass. That doesn’t change the message and enjoyment I got back when I needed it, it just means I won’t financially support that jackass again.
