/cow/ - Lolcows

Gary Gears will be the next hot thing among the spergs. Surpassing Undertale, MLP and the Ebola virus.

>1: The sorting of things and or characters. Everydowny is clearly sorted into one of 4 classes.

>2: Lack of emotional display. Autistic people relate well to the emotional displays of the downies. The characters don’t actively talk and their faces are always still. When they do show emotion, it is often exaggerated and set on their faces for a period of time.

>3: Concrete emotions. Their emotions are not confusing. The characters are either happy, angry, surprised, tired, scared, or embarrassed. There is nothing in between.

>6: Comprehensive role playing. The everyday life in Equestria and the occasional adventures of the downies appeal to people with autism because it helps them role play with empathy, triumph, and frustration.

>7: No chaos. The background and scenery are always still, which allows for less distraction and more focus on the main picture.

Oh boy, an analysis of autism and what autists like. A subject hitherto never discussed by this board, you are such an intellectual pioneer, Op.

>1: The sorting of things and or characters. The characters are clearly sorted into the various habitats in the Monster Kingdom.

Do you see the same theme here or am I just fucking assburger here? The in my opinion most important criteria in the list are about simplified emotion. Autists can only relate naturally to emotions when they are cartoonishly exaggerated.

>Oh boy, an analysis of autism and what autists like.

No. Not in particular. We already had in depth discussions about Sonic and Pokemon. This thread is about figuring out how to find the next object of autistic obsession before anyone can latch onto it. With this knowledge we can sneak in and find possible lolcows and cocks early.

>>205740

So, you want a mix of Hari Seldon, and those guys from Minority Report? Predicting what the autistic masses would jump on in the Future. Interesting, but don't think it will work, spergs are wild and capricious, they also have a dash of Hipterism, also you have a lot of potential subjects that gathered all the criteria to be a sperg success, yet they remain in relative obscurity, like Littlest Pet Shop, or that all girl super hero show.

Now I'm intrigued, what are those things never touched by spergs?

Wagner's music, the poetry of Samuel Coleridge, Giorgio de Chiricco's sculptures, Argentine politics?

>>205777

boobies.

>>205778

Bravo, sir.

>>205738

>>205738

I think you might want to add the notion that in games that attract autists, the amin characters which they play are like blank slates that don't talk or show any expressions e.g. undertale, sonic (in the games), so basically giving them the opportunity to project their own personalities into the bland main characters.

>>205738

Autism supposedly has some level of comorbidity with facial blindness. It's part of why cartoons would be more popular with autists since the designs are drastically different enough that it's easier to track who is who, and what emotions the characters are displaying.

I don't think it's any sort of revelation that this is why autists like cartoons more than regular TV shows.

>>205776

You can watch that movie once or twice and then it's largely done.

Autists hit onto things that have more of a community behind them where cocks is created to help immerse people moreso. Like Sonic has all the fan created characters people would make which autists could do similar yet more cringe worthy additions.

Autists have a hard time making friends, since they're autistic, so they latch onto things that help act as friend simulators. Like with MLP you have autists imagining being friends with the various downies. There's that desire for escapism, wanting friends when you're too autistic for them, and wanting something simplistic as far as morals.

To get people to participate in these fandom fads, you'd also need simple enough designs that people could draw their own fanart pretty easily. That's part of the intention behind all the noodle armed characters on the Cartoon Network now (Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, Clarence).

>>205799

Good point.

>>205801

Today, he would be a German Brony.

>>205801

He already had a SS CWCville at the fucking Wewelsburg. Can we now return to the topic at hand and predict the next fad? Zootopia sounds like a good candidate.

>>205776

It has the sorting, lack of emotional display in some characters, concrete emotions and the roles of all characters are pretty comprehensive even static backgrounds, because stuff in the background only sometimes moves.

The next fad? What about that Mega Man cartoon Man of Action was developing?

>>205812

I don't know. I'm a sperg and Ed Edd and Eddy was my favorite show as a kid, so I didn't mind really.

What about Yo-Kai Watch?

I've seen ads for it at Toys R' Us so I know Nintendo is making a decent attempt to market it in North America but it seems a little more Japan-specific than Pokemon so I don't know if it will be as big a hit Stateside as Pokemon was/still is to a lesser degree.

>>205777

Serious/realistic dramas, aspies can't touch that

>>205810

MoA show never develope fanbases like that

>>205817

The first Ben 10 iterations developed a fanbase, who drew a lot of incest porn, and threw a bitch fit at Omniverse being more lighthearted than the "dark and gritty# previous shows.

That's another mark of the Sperg, turning everything into Grimderp.

>>205810

Mega Man is dead

>>205835

*throws energy tanks*

>>205835

He is a fictional character, he can't die.

>>205863

It's a joke, you retard.

>>205823

That's not particularly a mark of an autist, but rather a mark of having no taste. The "I like any music that isn't country or rap" type. They operate similarly to hipsters, but have distinct differences. Chiefly, hipsters do it for that sense of superiority over others for having "superior taste", while people with no taste simply don't want to be identified as what they truly are.

How does it feel to be a blue nigger?

>>205875

What?

>>205870

>>205823

A lack of taste combined with the desire to seem like you do is a hilarious combination.

Often ties into a desire to be 'mature' and 'grown-up' while having absolutely no concept of what that actually entails, or willingness to branch out beyond their comfort zones, so grimderp fits their needs perfectly, being basically a more elaborate version of a tween boy's line paper doodles but with perceived 'depth' for poorly imitating popular things.

>>205733

All I remember from the games is break robots/defeat guy with the stash

Then again spergs are good with hidden patterns

>>205735

The fuck is a downie? I don't know shit about mlp but I couldn't find that anywhere

>>205939

>The fuck is a downie?

Wordfilter

>New hyped indie game merges current indie game spergs (FNAF, Undertale, etc) and proceeds to shit on Internet at large and quadruple the cancerous autists.

>Undertale gets more "MUH DIVERSITY"

It's already at the point that dying Channel Awesome is leeching off Undertale fanbase. The autism is autistic and it spreads like a wildfire.

>People start praising new Ghostbusters movie unironically

>>205777

>Argentine politics?

I don't get this one

>>205781

> the amin characters which they play are like blank slates that don't talk or show any expressions

I think gordon freeman is a better example of that, and the fallout characters until they added fucking asseffect-like cutscenes in F4

>>205776

Oh it does, theres tons of porn for that shit already, I haven't seen anything like that since undertale

>>205786

>Autists hit onto things that have more of a community behind them where cocks is created to help immerse people moreso

I don't know if new sperg OC plays that much of a role, I think they latch to popular shit because they are really really fucking susceptible to marketing

See applespergs for example

>>205823

Not really, its actually the assburger types who sperg the most about cutesy characters like sanic going all "we destroyed a city full of people" and shit

>>205930

I think grimderp is more an easy way for marketers to get a tired whored out franchise to feel new again, just look at pretty much all the capeshit from the last 20 years

>>205946

Got it

>>205952

>New hyped indie game merges current indie game spergs (FNAF, Undertale, etc) and proceeds to shit on Internet at large and quadruple the cancerous autists.

Fuck now I want to make to grab gamemaker and launch that shit to see what would happen, but is seeing the pigs going at it worth being remembered forever as "the guy who made that shit game"?

>>205781

>basically giving them the opportunity to project their own personalities into the bland main characters.

this isn't something that uniquely appeals to autists

it might be more accurate to say it's less likely to repel them. (since it makes sure the character is relatable to 'everyone' with less reliance on understanding things from the character's view and empathising with them, even if you don't share their outlook/experience)

>>205946

Wordfilter for p.onies which can be fucking hilarious at times, like >204308

>>205986

Welp, fucked up that link: >>204308

>>205968

>I don't know if new sperg OC plays that much of a role, I think they latch to popular shit because they are really really fucking susceptible to marketing

Well for a lolcow autist I would think being able to actually make OC would play a role. Otherwise they're just posting online about how they like something and generally keeping to themselves. It's being able to participate in a 'community' that makes them noticeable and show off how ridiculous their minds work.

>>205821

Ben 10 must have been a "serious drama" in the same sense as the Sonic-oh, fuck, I think that's it.

OP, if you really want cash for creating fads, just target normie women, not spergs;

>make cute fashion statement, then make it viral and watch women eat it up

>make a cute casual game they can play with their kids, make it viral and women eat it up

>spergs are too picky and aren't flexible

>women also make the most purchases and have the most spending money

>spergs often can't even hold a basic job and are unlikely to have kids

>>206483

Exactly. The later seasons of the original show were soap opera tier. I'm glad the producers decided a kids show should stay a kids show. Of course, spergs felt insulted.
