So, since we had just updated JIRA to a version that allows avatars, I took on the challenge to find a decent female Dilbert character for me.
The female options in Dilbert are fairly limited, we have:
Alice: The only female "primary" character listed on Wikipedia. Alice is actually a favourite of mine, because she gets so angry. I'm particularly a fan of her "Fist of Death".
He probably deserved it. |
Carol: The secretary. It's been too long since I've done admin work, I can't relate. I'm sure all secretaries/office managers hate everyone.
Dilmom: She complains and is lazy. Not bad.
I'm starting to see a pattern that all the woman are angry... |
Tina: Tina is the one I chose for my avatar. She's the tech writer, so she has to deal with shit from the developers. It's the closest I could get. (Although, I'm almost leaning towards Alice now. That "Fist of Death" is so awesome.)
Damn you, Dilbert. |
Apparently people complained that Tina was too negative and "stereotypical", so, Scott Adams responded to this by creating..
Antina: (get it? ha). Only appearing in one strip other than the introduction one, Adams then got criticised for making fun of lesbians.
For the record, I tried to take the coffee machine apart and failed. I must be Tina. |
Liz: Who knew Dilbert had a girlfriend? I didn't.
