I think autism isn't about the interest, it's about how interested you are in it. It's about how you conduct your interest. How deep do you get into it? Video games don't have to be that autistic, but we're on a site that's all about people very autistic for video games, and they look down on others as "casuals." (And they're right to do so.) Comics have a reputation for being pretty autistic, and I would say that actual comics fans are very fucking autistic, because you need to be just to understand all the continuity. But there are plenty of "comic fans" that are complete casuals. See all those fags that only care about the movies, or even worse, the ones that pretend the last five or six years of movies are tolerable. They're not autistic, but I guess they're interested. Or what about stuff like Sonic? Those games were and are some of the most popular ever made. That means many regular people like them. Yet we know that Sonicfags are some of the most autistic of all time. Clearly it's not that they like it, it's how they like it.
