I have a more advanced, if crackpot, theory about this. I think with stuff like transexuality, it's an idea sent through media into the conscious of a susceptible person who absorbs that media, and that this concept that is compartmentized in the subconscious in a similar way to an activity, that has high information transfer, that stimulates the brain with low effort, like TV or video games... the EXACT same kind of activity aspies and dissociative types get into. It's a very similar mechanism to how furries associate the cartoon characters into sexual objects and imaginary avatars. My grand unifying theory is that when the psychological development of a young person, who is trained to consume media instead of life experience, has to develop character, it pulls from the closest experiences it has in the memory holed recesses of the conscious, hereby fucking that young person's development up. To their young mind, the concept of these serious metaphysical concepts are on the same tier as fantasies, for they do not understand the much deeper, realer experience that others have that they should. The projecting of a personal experience onto the media consumed during any period of this development is a direct symptom and indicator of this. This could be schitzoposting, but I think I'm onto something.They flock to it the same way they do New Vegas and other RPGs. Maybe because the way From tells stories is like an open invite to pseudointellectualism.
