I have a theory that the more lore a franchise has, the more of an autistic fanbase it has. I made a graphic about it. (lemmy.ml)

Factorio autistic hyperfocus gang represent

Can't.

Too busy.

Not enough iron.

The factory must grow.

I'm not autistic. I just really like trains. Choo choo motherfucker.

And just like that, I have found Lemmy to be along the path of the beam. Go now, friend, and may we meet again, at the clearing at the end of the path.

Are you really trying to say kingdom hearts has a less autistic fanbase than harry potter?

[-] Nepenthe@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago

From an outsider's view, I'd think they're close. What I wanna know is how Kirby has more lore than My Little Pony. He's a blob with a one-word vocabulary.

He's got a surprising amount of lore attached. He's also canonically way more powerful than you'd expect

He's the literal reincarnation of capital-G God. Also there are other reincarnations of God running around the universe. Kirby lore is... unusual

[-] djquadratic@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Kirby lore goes DEEP - he’s canonically a god

POYO!

Kingdom Hearts as a franchise is autistic, but the adult fans know it's fucking stupid. Meanwhile, HP adult fans don't realise how weird it is to put your Hogwarts house in your profile bio, because HP is mainstream, and they're autistic.

[-] vestigial@lemm.ee 73 points 1 year ago

This plot does not show a correlation, it's just a cluster.

[-] thesylveranti@feddit.nl 49 points 1 year ago

This really graph really does not show any statistical connection between the two parameters XD

I know it's a meme, but still.

Avatar The Last Airbender has the same amount of lore as Star Trek? How are we measuring this?

[-] ag_roberston_author@beehaw.org 15 points 1 year ago

By randomly positioning logos on a chart.

[-] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Out of their ass, clearly.

To put TF2 so low when it has Abraham Lincoln as the first pyro is a sin

To put Minecraft above it is a joke of it's own

[-] snarf@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

I have no idea where TF2 should fall, but I will say that for a simple-seeming blocky building game, Minecraft has a shocking amount of lore.

[-] jackpot@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

tf2 has an entire comic serious lmfao

[-] mattrick@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Minecraft has multiple story-driven games, multiple interactive Minecraft: Story Mode adventure games, and a handful of books.

I have a theory that most people posting to this community have no clue what a meme is.

Bionicle meanwhile is 2 ft to the upper right off the screen

[-] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Was glad someone else noticed the distinct lack of Bionicle

I both love and hate Factorio is on here. Lol

[-] Captain_Ender@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

It's definitely the outlier. Zero lore. Maximum obsession.

"Fans" (the entire set) skews autistic. Almost by definition.

The last season of GoT was so bad that it's not even on this graph.

[-] kemsat@lemmy.tf 8 points 1 year ago

The chart seems to show that autistic people prefer things the less real they are

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago

Team Fortress 2 has the most autistic lore imaginable that it is literally a crime for it to be where it is on this scale.

[-] Lumidaub@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Well yeah. The more unnecessary nonsense there is to know that won't ever benefit me in real life AND to be an escape from reality, the better.

[-] 10OMHz@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I hate how close factorio is to among us, also tf2 has tonnes of lore, it should be higher

[-] dhruv@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Genshin shouldn't be anywhere near Pokemon, eesh.

[-] joneskind@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

As an ex Protection Paladin I can confirm. I was completely obsessed with Warcraft lore when I was playing the game. The « Time travel in a parallel universe » BS killed it though.
