I decided to set up a thread dedicated to the Thomas pigs. One of the most famous prime examples of a tankie on Youtube is Trainboy54. He is known for making bad recolors of pre-existing trains, and his general obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine goods. The Thomas fanbase on youtube is usually a general shitfest, mostly consisting of characters placed in pre-existing shows, and "parodies". Its quite an interesting fanbase though. What is it about Thomas that reels in such autists? Is it the appeal?
b40bef No.203526
From what I remember, Thomas' shows are used to help autists with recognizing faces with emotions (some bullshit like that). I think lazy parents plop their autistic child in front of that show, and the child beccomes obessed with it like it's some sort of new reality for them. Becoming a fucking train.

Well they don't just put him in front of the tv all day. But he does throw hissy fits when it's taken away from him. I think they need to work on it. There is something about it that does draw them in though.

I should ad that they are spending a fortune on therapy for him since he's recently regressed and it seems likely this regression is due to an abusive teacher. So his escapism seems logical. He went from being verbal to nearly none verbal. I think I'm one of the only people the little guys attempted communication with in a long time, and all he wanted from me was help up into a seat so he could watch that show on an iPod. Kids in a messed up place right now. I think something about the show helps them cope. I'm not certain that's a bad thing. If they can use it to get him back to verbal somehow then it would be a miracle.
Also we are talking about a child.

If you wanted to make a live action version of this show, who would he play? Who else would you cast? I bet if we pushed for it in the autism speaks forum or whatever we could get enough spergs excited by the idea to actually get it done and since it would be endorsed by the autism community the celebrities would actually do it for the publicity and the warm and fuzzies. Let's make this train wreck happen.

Thomas the Tank Engine first aired in the United Kingdom in 1984.
So assuming a 4-year old autist saw the first airing, are there any around nowadays? Are there any 36-year old autistics who obsess over Thomas the Train?

The reason the guy in your webm does that is to help with his speech. Talking for long amounts of time. He's fucked up due to a stroke or something, but he's gotten a lot better if you compare his older videos to his newer ones.

>Does Jim Carrey have an autistic fan base?
I knew an autistic kid back in middle school who was OBSESSED with Jim Carrey. He liked to do the over the top expressions and stuff that Carrey does in his movies.
He'd always get really triggered when people told him he looked like McLovin from Superbad. It became an inside joke at my middle school. Shit was hilarious.
I also remember how he'd literally run to the cafeteria every day so he could get pizza. When seconds would be offered near the end of lunch he'd frantically raise his hand like his life depended on it. And if he didn't get any extra pizza, he'd loudly bang his head into the lunch table. I remember another time he got sent to the back of the lunch line for cutting through other people. He got super mad, and when I'd made my way to a table in the cafeteria, I could see the line for meatball subs slowly peter out. Then I heard a loud scream outside of the cafeteria.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic. I know of at least one autistic person who was a big Jim Carrey fan, though- likely cuz of the obvious facial expressions.

It sounds like ADHD paried with autism. Is it just me or are a lot of ADHD kids just extroverted spergs? I remember tons of "ADHD" kids at my schools who were pig-tier and always had the following traits
>interrupt class discussions with off topic shit
>no concept of indoor voice
>watches age/gender inappropriate cartoons
>likes Invader Zim, happy tree friends, Kids next Door, Emperor's New Groove
>trying to be random on purpose
>few or no friends
>constantly mention that they take medication
>occasional tantrums

Some of those behaviors happened to be shared with attention defect-type disorders. When all combined together though, you just about have a sure-fire case of the 'tism.
Whether or not said pig is autistic, a few of those traits could easily be caused by excessive coddling from mommy and no definition of boundaries otherwise.

I don't know why I remembered this guy more than the others but this is some incredibly potent autism. Imagine if you will 38 episodes of badly edited Thomas the Tank Engine episodes with him and his retarded friend spliced in. These two goons are Grade A spergs if I've ever seen one.
And they're friends with Trainboy54. Of course.

Good lord.
You know, on second thought, I can definitely see why his channel got pegged; he basically uploaded entire episodes of Phineas and Ferb with very, VERY minimal changes by editing himself in.

These guys seem a lot more wholesome than most cows: not a lot of sexualizing trains or doing the terrible shit that cows usually do.
Doesn't seem julayable, just seems like we're laughing at autistic people for being autistic. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

The New Storyteller just isn't a cow, the guy is unjulayable.
He's gotten thousands of comments calling him a serial killer over the years and he either doesn't care or is too smart to react.
He's definitely sees them, as he thanks people who leave compliments and answers questions in the comments. (He's also really polite).
What's more his family seem to be pretty level headed and supportive so even if someone actually succeeded, their reward would probably just be him vanishing from youtube.
He's even immune to just being observed and reported on as he puts out cocks so fast it's near impossible to keep up, and his archive of old cocks is far too large to trawl through. He's uploaded 5000+ videos some of which are over 4 hours long. One of these 4 hour videos is just part of what appears to be one continuous film which totals out at about 22 hours (this might not even be the longest one). We'd need a team of professional researchers to go through it all.
To cap it all off this guy >>205108 is right, TNS honestly comes off as a really nice guy. He's polite, reacts better to criticism than most creative types and seems (as much as you can say this about a man who makes Thomas the Tank Engine fan films that dwarf the entire Lord of the Rings saga) reasonably well adjusted.
The New Story Teller isn't a cow, he's a God.
