The Brony trend of the 2010s was a Faustian bargain: half became queer communists but the other half became full on fascists (hexbear.net)

I feel like the gender political disparity for autistic people (not trying to stereotype, certain cartoon fandoms just tend to have a lot of autistic people imo) is more extreme than for neurotypical people. A lot of super online autistic men go down the alt-right pipeline and become wehraboos, Rhodesiaboos and MRAs. Meanwhile the super online autistic women post memes about being trans lesbian communists, enbies, sex workers slash social workers who specialize in trauma, etc. Obviously the latter has the better result.

If it weren't the middle of the night right now I'd go into detail about why I think this is, because this is something I've thought a bit about, considering myself and my also autistic brother

Don’t a lot of autistic men online also end up transitioning or questioning their gender? It seems about 50/50

Hence the super online autistic women posting memes about being transbian communists

Or vtubers (which isn't exclusive with the others).
