Autism is indeed a large part of it like in any community that revolves around children's toys/media.Autism and arrested development. Bionicle matches up with their childhood the same way older trannies all love transformers or Sonic.
To add more to the topic, Bionicle community has never been as massive as Sonic or Transformers and the community has been centered around only a few websites which later metastasized into tranny centrals as the primary moderators/admins of these boards trooned out and anyone at least semi-normal left or was banned (for some funny perspective on one site two biological brothers were mods and they both trooned out).

(Onua is the black bionicle btw)
To make things even more autistic, Greg Farshtey, one of the primary writers for Bionicle also stayed around after the toyline ended for few more years, replying to some random questions from fans. As it was quickly discovered he had tendency to just reply 'sure, why not' to suggestions and since he was considered the one who decides canon, it led to various mentally ill people harassing him with their shitty ideas so that they could be canonized.

All in all, the entire "Bionicle Community" is a clusterfuck riddled with constant drama and extreme autism. There have been also some much smaller bionicle fan groups (like /biog/ general on /toy/) that are for most of the time openly hostile to the larger bionicle groups and they are less trannified but still super autistic.
