I have a theory that the more lore a franchise has, the more of an autistic fanbase it has. I made a graphic about it. (lemmy.ml)

This is X-Philes erasure, and I won't stand for it.

Just did an 8 hour shift playing Factorio instead of working. Should get my self checked out.

Sonic should be way, way higher.

Star Trek has a large autistic fanbase? I mean I know we're a bunch of nerds but...

As an IDW comics enjoyer, I love Sonic the Hedgehog being on this graph.

That is all.

So why has Factorio less lore and more autists?

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I think its more depth and emergent gameplay intruigue autistic people. Lore is a type of depth people can enjoy so games with it make the world more interesting to explore. But also complex mechanics also work for the same reasons.

Dwarf Fortress is probably a good example of this.

D&D is not because of the Lore its because of crunching numbers!!! (my autistic friend who lives P&P in General and also love to optimize his Charakters)

I feel like AT should be higher up. I've seen some crazy serious discussions about characters who say "what the bjork" 4 times an episode.

For the Emperor!!!

Anyone else feel like this is just a map of holes to fall into? I'm looking forward to that Kirby one...

I feel Marvel needs to be further to the right, and Spiderman needs its own separate category.

[–] johnthedoe@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I think given how massively popular globally marvel is. The ratio of autistic fans would be quite small even if the numbers are large. Maybe pre MCU I'd put it more to the right.

I was certain this was going to be about hockey. Kind of disappointed actually...

Cracktorio. I'll never touch that again.
