Artcow Erik "Taz" Mokracek / MollyHaleIsMyFriend / MGHSHour / CowboyErik and Anti-Classix - How an autistic 40-something attracts the attention of a whole slew of other autists

[Gullik]

Sure, it could just be autism but I think this guy just has been possessed by Åsglörf the World Loather who has never interacted with humans before. It's why everything he creates feels cursed.

Autism and low IQ are often comorbid with each other. Which is part of why it used to be thought that autism was a form of intellectual rētardation, and that low IQ used to be a diagnostic requirement (which is then where the Aspergers as a separate disorder came from).

So dude is probably just naturally both socially rētarded (:autism and regular rētarded.

Still not convinced that he's not capable of pedophilia, though.

I remember those videos Erik made in which the girl from DragonTales interviews a paralyzed Christopher Reeve and tells him about her love for walking around classrooms. Those were a true testiment to Mokracek's stupidity.

Lmao that's fucking amazing.

This makes me think Erik is a pedo cause there is no other context this can be used to not be related to pedophilia.

"every little girl is a kind of cheese" sounds like an early boards of canada EP

Or a song that got rejected from 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields.

No, don't blame this shit on me!

Erik always makes it perfectly clear that every character in his stories shit in very special ways. Bears shit pears, Ash Ketchum shits Ketchup, Dragons shit Ride Flyer wagons, and every other character shits bananas for some reason.

How can you not garner attention from people who wish to laugh at your follies when you imagine children shitting condiments, children's toys, fruit, and other such things that would label you a delusional idiot.

I have something to add about the weird obsession with sitting on the floorboard of the backseat aka sitting in the back floor of cars.

So, it's a small, cramped space, that much is obvious. But since this guy is displaying HEAVY amounts of :autism: it's not hard to piece together why he's so obsessed with it. He had Penny say that she has been sitting in the back floor of a car since she was 4 years old (jesus it sounds so creepy). He probably thought sitting in a car felt unnatural to him, so what he'd do is crouch down and sit where he had as little stimulation as possible. A lot of autistic people like to be in close spaces because it makes them feel safe. Temple Grandin herself has said that when she'd undergo copious amounts of stress, she would put herself in this vice she put together and decompress (while compressing lol) and it would make her feel relief. I think she said she still does it from time to time. But my point is, he was trying to get away from being overwhelmed. And talking to people likely helped keep him occupied.

This guy is extremely repetitive and that's another coping thing people like him do. I have no fucking clue why he writes about weirdly phrased shits and why he's so obsessed with it.

This guy is severely retarded and it's a miracle he knows how to use the internet.

I go back and forth constantly on "Wow he's so exceptional, I can't help but pity him" to "Oh my god, the content he puts out makes him look like a pedophile who's bound to end up abducting a child and murdering them when they won't stop crying".

 

[bearycool]

You really give out the words "questionably a pedophile" way too easy in this circumstance, OP

 

[Feline Darkmage]

I've been thinking about his repeated posts about keeping his information private and I can only come to the conclusion that he literally is wishing with all his heart a la DragonTales that what he's saying is true but reality doesn't work like that cartoon because his personal info is still all over the internet because he's not good at being private.

 

[Staffy]

He's an uglier, more defective Gomer Pyle.

 

[Miss Walsh]

Doesn't he have a car to sit on the floor in the back of?

 

[Aquinas]

whenever i look at his art, i get this foreboding feeling.

It's about time that this got featured. Glad, but also kind of disturbed that this person is like this.

 

[Nekromantik]

This thread has really been amazing. Starting with laughing at his obsession with game shows, and dragons making chocolate wagons; to looking at his art as possible outside art.

I personally think the guy is harmless, and dosen't understand the implications of saying something like "Every Little Girl is a Kind of Cheese." Something like that may be a joke to him. Maybe form something he saw on TV, but he twisted it to something he thought was funny like cheese.

 

[Slamerella]

Let's play a game of "is this Erik Taz's work or did I just boot up gimp and shit this out in 5 minutes?

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Not sure how much anybody will be interested in this, but I've got the info so I might as well throw it out there.

Bonus irony:
"I Am Still Looking For Episodes Of Nelvana Syndicated Care Bears, I Will be Happy To Trade With Anyone Who Has Episodes Of Nelvana's Care Bears (Syndicated Run) Here Is What I Have For Trade, Feel Free To Browse, If You Have Any Episodes Of The Nelvana Bersion Of Care Bears (Syndicated Run) And Would Like To Trade With Me, E-Mail Me At Jerseydevil33601@aol.com And I Will Be Happy To Give Out My Address"
(source, archive)

As a cartoon collector/sperg, this one caught my attention. I was sort of curious these are actually rare or if he just sucks at finding things. After some cursory research (of like 10 minutes), it appears the specific episodes he's after are genuinely almost impossible to find.

I'm not sure if he wants them because they're rare or if it's just nostalgia. I'm no expert on Care Bears, but I sort of doubt it's because they're actually good.

What is it about autism that causes an obsession not just with cartoons (which is vaguely understandable), but with obscure, shitty 80s cartoons?

I'm just gonna throw this out there, but probably because they were bland, fairly slow-paced, and didn't over-stimulate the senses. A lot of dialogue and not a lot of action. Also, they were mostly toy-based. It's likely a lot easier for people with autism to process the information coming from these cartoons instead of something a little more cerebral. Remember how much Chris liked adult swim animation so much despite the obvious humor flying over his head? I'd imagine it's difficult for people with even lower-functioning autism to really "get" anything meant for older audiences and it's probably super off-putting.
