  • How do you handle watching movies and shows?
  • VanHalbgott VanHalbgott Now 100%

    I explained to my father about the movies we grew up on: I especially told him about the films I didn't like and he understood.

    We haven't really been watching most kids movies anymore, and Dad has moved on his own movies and shows as well.

    This is Injustice 2: Hellboy was just a guest fighter in that game.

  • How do you handle watching movies and shows?
  • VanHalbgott VanHalbgott Now 100%

    Thank you. More like I am explaining the impact I have on others because I happen to be very opinionated in what I like and don’t like.

    I grew up on movies and shows like anyone else (even in treatment) but it was always a painful experience because I don’t like actors yelling or making faces and chewing the scenery, not to mention the other reasons I despise movies and shows which does tie with how opinionated I am with most of them.

    If I even see one clip of a movie I loathe, all bets are off, but thankfully my parents understand what I do and don’t like and I can politely explain why I don’t like that one clip.

    Some movies and shows in particular (like Pixar) are universally loved yet they hurt when I watch them because they ‘make you cry’ as they say because they pander to your emotions so much when all I would rather do is if not watch an actual movie, then read a book or a comic because I handle that better.

    I figured as a genuine autistic person I could explain myself here and be understood.

    Plus, I decided to volunteer as a moderator and upload more content for this instance.

  • Anybody read comic books?

    Hoopla lets you read from your local library if they support it. I use it to read all my comics.

    Marvel and DC have comics there too, but I currently prefer indie comics like Hellboy.

  • This is a series I enjoy reading (Hellboy by Mike Mignola) although I read more Marvel and DC before I got tired of both and switched to indie comics like Dark Horse: I like reading Mike Mignola because his stories are written so well in my opinion and his art style and collaborations with other artists and writers are really nice, probably because I switched from the Big Two (Marvel and DC) to indie comics from Dark Horse and maybe other companies too (Image Comics?). I had read Spawn by Todd Macfarlane, but put it down because the drama was too much for me and I lost interest in reading it so much. I personally think Dark Horse is a good publishing company too in my opinion: they publish all kinds of media around the clock. What are your favorite comics you like to read?

    What's the deal with anime?
  • VanHalbgott VanHalbgott Now 100%

    I’m an autistic who doesn’t like anime.

    The last few shows I saw I consider an old shame because I disagree with the values although not all of them are bad, I think.

    I did grow up on anime and manga too but I still didn’t agree with both medium’s values.

    I’d rather read comic books and watch cartoons although I blew most of what I watched and read out of proportion because I disagreed with the values portrayed in both.

    Most anime I saw were stumbling blocks for me because of the acting and writing, not to mention the old shames that I moved on from.

  • Do you struggle to talk about certain subjects?
  • VanHalbgott VanHalbgott Now 100%

    Movies are usually a subject I struggle with because it hurts just watching them all.

    Is that normal for an autistic man like me?

    Feel free to check out my other post too.

  • I genuinely open up about this matter. All my life, movies have usually beaten my senses whenever I watch them somehow. Anyone could yell and it would affect me but not anyone else whether they have autism or not. Wherever I went, a movie or show would be playing and people would make me deal with it by refusing to turn it off over other people. Never mind the things I disagree on with each movie or show…all of them genuinely affect my senses and they always did even right now. I am autistic myself…does anyone else with autism know how to handle this situation?
