The autism question is more interesting than the porn addiction. It seems like a lot have problems forming a clear sense of identity.
That may be a result of aphantasia, or an inability to visualize things in their head. The rates of aphantasia amongst autistics are much higher than in the general population
(see Dance et al. 2021 archived below). Autist Temple Grandin
describes this phenomenon to Jordan Peterson and the conversation was labelled “thinking in pictures vs. words”.
Midwits often assume that aphantasia means someone is an “NPC” or severely retarded, but it actually might confer some unique advantages. It might be good for meditation, scientific research
(see Galton, 1880), maintaining
emotional control (archived below under Wicken et al.) or focusing on things.
It
also means that autistic people struggle to imagine the future, specifically
their own future. They may have a harder time picturing themselves out of time and space, and this can affect their level of motivation. If you can’t visualize something like, say, you and your spouse standing in front of a newly purchased home, it can be difficult to pursue such a thing. Why do you think normies like “vision boards” so much? It’s a way to reignite one’s sense of motivation. Autistics often lack this capacity, and, combined with their apathy towards social measures of success, can sit around doing nothing for decades at a time.
I think it has to do with how being locked into certain states of attention puts you out of touch with yourself, so you replace your intuitive sense of self with an easily memorable mental construct—OCs; fursonas; trans aspirational self-images.
I think a simpler way to say this would be, “autistics spend a lot of time online so their sense of self is rooted in their online persona”. If you don’t have a job or IRL friends, who will know you as Joe Blow? If you stream on Twitch, make furry porn, and have some caché in a remote Internet community, then you have a bunch of people referring to you as Lily Alice Athena Romanov III. Autistics may lack the social awareness of neurotypicals, but group consensus
does affect them. If everyone you know treats you like XYZ, why
wouldn’t that affect your self-concept?
For one reason or another that isn't quite clearly understood autistics have a higher propensity for developing paraphilias and fetishes. They tend to be more impressionable, gullible, and have a near OCD tendency to fixate on things (special interests/hyperfixation).
Another reason could be the need to seek extreme stimulus, similar to how some asocial personality types get into extreme things or drugs to compensate for their lack of normal response to what gets and keeps normal people going
Yes. One
theory of autism is that it produces a monotrophic mind, that is, a mind with few interests and immense capacity to focus on said interests. That definitely conforms to what you’re saying regarding fetishes, repetition, etc. It even explains how a sperg like CWC remains fixated upon the same children’s toys and games from when he was a child, despite being a grown man.
As for fetishes… well, that’s complicated. I’ve seen lots of psychoanalytic breakdowns of fetishistic behaviour, and those can wax pretty poetic. Fetishes are barriers to true love, fetishes are
rooted in trauma, fetishes replace the genitals in the mind of the fetishist, etc. I think there might be some logic there - especially for female autistics who find touching themselves to be overwhelming from a sensory perspective - the clitoris
does have more nerve endings than any other human body part. However, I’m not especially partial to any theory that lacks a means of substantiating it.
Honestly? I think that evolutionary psychology is the best explanation of this sort of behaviour in male autists. I know evolpsych has been bastardized by midwit cunts looking to rationalize why they want to fuck barely legal blondes, but that doesn’t render the ideas stupid post-hoc. The fact that females have higher reproductive fitness than males means that the men have a good incentive to find visual shorthand for “available vagina”.
I sort of went into this in the Anisa / IDubbbz thread to explain why nerds like IDubbbz obsess over “alt” girls,
but everyone there got mad because if you don’t pretend Anisa is the new Joe Merrick, you’re “simping” for her. OKCupid used to have page
(that I cannot find and archive, mea culpa) where they explained how women with “divisive” appearances garnered more intense positive (and negative) reactions than plain janes who were merely “pretty”. In other words, a regular “pretty” girl would be rated a 6. A “goth” or “punk” girl would be rated either 1 or 10. Some men will call her disgusting trash, but another cohort of men will trip over themselves to talk to her.
I think that, from an evolutionary perspective, going after a girl with a more divisive appearance helps the man to limit competition. If most men and women concede that your girlfriend is “cute”, then there’s a world of potential threats. If half the male population goes, “ew, she has tattoos, yuck!” then you have half the competition you would have otherwise. I always assumed that the obsession with “big tiddy goth gfs” was rooted in the belief that such girls are unappealing to “chad” - males they can’t compete against - but amenable to nerds like themselves.
And that’s what I think a lot of fetishes are… cues that say which sexual targets are more likely to say yes to you, say no to other people, and keep men higher on the social hierarchy away. The fetish is a cue that means sex is possible or imminent, so it makes sense from a Darwinian perspective why men would have more fetishes and become horny when prompted by such stimuli.
With normal men, the cues are probably more subtle (ex. Hair twirling) compared to autistics. You made a good point about how some cohorts (ex. Antisocial PDs) need more intense stimuli to get off, and that could definitely be the case here. If an
inflation scene in a cartoon lets you see a woman’s cleavage, that might be ingrained as short hand for seeing titties
(archive here but it’s less the video and more the comments). I also think the lack of social skills means that they may struggle identifying what cues mean what. Goth girls might seem nice and accessible in children’s cartoons, but in reality, no frat boy is going to turn a hot chick away because she has purple lipstick. In reality, any chick who spends that much time on her makeup probably has high standards. There’s still this impulse or urge to identify possible mates, but it’s distorted by an over-reliance on
representations of reality.
As for female autists, I think the
Tumblr Sexyman fits this theory well. They see a bunch of cartoons where the skinny beanpole boy with a metrosexual haircut is the nice, accessible guy… and then wonder why
so many other women want to fuck Timothy Charlamagne or
Jughead or whatever. They’re looking for visual cues, but troll themselves by focusing on representations of reality rather than reality itself.
TLDR: The reason CWC has a thing for
Meg Griffin is because he sees her as accessible, and this drive to find accessible females fosters the development of fetishes for these men. I knew a man with some pretty advanced degrees who worked with autistics, and he said that they tend to fall in love at first sight and be difficult to shake off. I think this is why.
They're also perfect cult targets. They're typically deeply unhappy,
Agreed. Transgenderism is a cult. Cults operate on lovebombing. If you’re a socially oblivious sperg with few friends, that could completely overwhelm and dupe you. Cults also appeal to “seekers”, or people looking for some grand narrative to explain their lives. Spergs often refuse socially appropriate explanations for things because said explanations are not justified enough in the sperg’s mind.
part of this is because helping them would involve explaining many human realities that our society actively tries to cover up on an institutional level
And those would be? Post on my profile or DM me if you think it’s off-topic.
It took a lot of "unlearning" of "normal" female behavior for me to start sticking up for myself again. And even if you're clear about not being interested, there are certain "types" of guys that don't take no for an answer.
Exactly. These dudes are by their nature obsessive. Tony “Erin in the Morn” Reed took the name of a girl he played with decades prior. Stalking is like a curse because it makes little sense, comes out of nowhere, and rarely lets up. If you’re a woman, risking having some freak obsessed with you for decades seems like a huge liability for… what…? Standing up for a coworker who doesn’t want to use the tranny’s preferred pronouns?
Usually only first year students live in the dorms, and only freaks become RAs because they can't find roommates due to being tattle-tale faggots that everyone hates
This. I had friends who lived in dorms, and while they liked the building and facilities, they were not allowed back for a second or third year. There was an understanding that, yeah, you gotta find classmates to board with. The only people I knew who were permitted to stay in residence for a longer period of time were those who took on administrative roles like being a “dorm mom”. You’re probably dead on about this guy.
He had HIS MOM come in and try to henpeck and handmaiden the other moms and his potential skinwalking victims into complying.
I’m getting a little MATI. Parents are supposed to help their children, not bully other children into accepting their dysfunctional brat’s outbursts.
I wish girls and young women would start slapping their big balls on the table to these tranny huns. Go on your social media, call the tranny by name, say i didnt want to do xyz when they asked me, they freaked out, they\he started acting weird, what should i do?
Im a little too much of a bitch, or too fucking gun wielding to care
I hope the bad girls band together and torture him a bit like we did to ours.
I agree with you guys - I too would love to see trannies get screamed at by angry mobs of women. The idea of Elliot Fong Jones getting on stage at some event for lesbians in tech or whatever and getting booed off stage makes me
so happy.
With that said, I get why people - including women - are cowardly on this issue. Fong Jones just got a man fired from Meta over Christmas. If you’re a woman, a good punch to the orbital could kill or concuss you. Sure, America has guns, but women in the commonwealth (for example) don’t. Canadian women can’t even buy bear spray or mace to defend themselves - best they got is coyote mace ordered online. It’s hard to be brave and tell the truth when you’re a 5’3 unarmed woman. For better or for worse, people are often only as good at their societies permit them to be. For that reason, I doubt we’re going to see an uptick in women and girls spitting in the faces of these creeps, even
though that
would be based AF.
