And I think that's fascinating because shit like My Little Pony has essentially been his main communication with people outside 14BC for years now. That, and people online trying to get him to believe that those things actually exist--and why wouldn't he? Someone comes along and tells him that the happy and simple worlds/characters he sees on TV not only exist, but they're coming here? He'll get to be a part of a world that understands him, and that he understands? I bet believing that is a hell of a lot easier than reckoning with the fact that he's living in a life he ruined in his 20's, and it isn't going to get better.Cartoons and anime in particular have extremely exaggerated emotions which helps autistic people who have a hard time reading subtle emotions.
Characters tend to have simple, easy to understand personalities so are easy to predict how they will react to any given situation.
