What game series have autistic fanbases?

The Ace Attorney fandom is really autistic with overtly pretentious people who act like they are more professional writers than anyone who wrote a game that isn’t named “Sho Takumi” and view the trilogy as well as AJ through rose tinted glasses. Their memes are just hopping on to recent trends, and they will keep talking about the same shit.

The fans of AJ in particular treat that game in a way that if you don’t like it then “the game is too smart for you” if you point out any flaws akin to fans of movies like The Last Jedi and Batman vs Superman.

The fandom would also talk down to fans of other series (I.E. Danganronpa, Ghost Trick, Professor Layton, or any other mystery game series) to tout how those series are inferior to Ace Attorney for not being alike in storytelling and would try to make ideas how to make them better which is to copy Ace Attorney’s writing.

Any discord community dedicated to modding a game, especially if it's more than 5 years old. There are a few that I love to lurk on for the lulz and tard fights.
 
Simulator games have always struck me as extremely autistic, and not even in the sardonic internet way but in the mesmerized-by-every-license-plate-you-see way. I give flight simulators a pass because there's plenty of good reasons that those exist, but as you stray further from that it gets worse and worse. Trains are the pinnacle of autistic hobbies, and likewise train driving simulators are probably the worst offenders for this. The whole game is literally on rails and pretty much the only thing you actually control is stopping and starting the train. Some of them are also extremely anal in simulating that, and the entire gameplay experience amounts to applying the right amount of brakes at the right time so that you stop as close to the marked line as you can. Others aren't so picky, but at that point I don't know what's left to make a game out of.
Even the trailers for it don't try to talk it up. There's no gameplay shown there at all, none that I at least can identify. It's pretty much pin-ups for people who get off to trains. The comment section is as autistic as you'd expect it to be, but again it's the autistic kind of autism and not the funny kind.

Im an old flight sim nerd and I'll say even that community can be really bad. People who get off on airliners being way WAYYYYYYY worse than the guys buzzing around in Cessnas and F/A-18s

The worst are the guys who sit around all day doing ATC shit, though. Remember the kid who sucked at every sport in your gym class but wore sports jersey's all the time and always volunteered to ref/ump because he gets off on the pretend authority? Thats the kind of kid that grows up to ATC in MS FLightsim and X-Plane.


That said, I don't fucking get Farm Sim players at all. I spent my childhood summers doing that shit IRL and it was fucking awful. Don't waste your freetime doing a version that doesn't pay you or feed you.

:disagree:

With all the clickbait articles about gender and race in BoTW, the identity politics of the Zelda Universe Forum, and ResetEra's love of the franchise, I'm gonna respectfully disagree.

For whatever reason it seems to attract SJWs like flies to honey.

If Nintendo swaps the genders I'm going to be livid.

Some things should be left alone.

I'd say Star Citizen is becoming quite autistic. Its audience is ultimately sycophantic, if anything. Mods are banning any sort of criticism of the "game" in their forums as of late also.

Just an example of their audience:

He's shooting red beam! That's amazing! Wow! You deserve an extra $100k Chris Roberts!!!

Honestly, the Star Citizen community doesn't strike me as autistic, it strikes me as some form of weird video game findom. The only way I can explain anybody spending 27k on a video game that probably will never come out is if they are getting weird sexual kicks out of it.

Don’t forget the fujoshis. Good god, people are all over Edgeworth x Phoenix for some reason.

Touhou was mentioned on the first page, but I'm posting them again because they've been having a collective autistic meltdown since one of their waifus was revealed to be an annoying gen Z shitposter.

which one
 
Metroid; believe me, I would know after the infamous AM2R vs Samus Returns war and how they seem to want literally every new Metroid game to just be a reskin of Super Metroid (to be fair, Nintendo definitely could have shown its appreciation for how fucking amazing of a fangame AM2R turned out to be just a little bit more, but I digress)
