If they want their Bible animes, why don't they just watch the series where Jesus and Buddha are college roommates?

Because that movie is actually good and doesn't have possible rape overtones. Really I always figured anime Bible was Evangelion.

It's the same over here with Zen/Hinduism/all the other assorted forms of Buddhism/Taoism

Xenogears at least had the Gnostic symbolism in the story mean something though.

Cursed With Awesome is for situations where something that the story treats as a horrible "curse" really isn't that bad and on the contrary is actually really cool. Think books where perpetual youth is treated as a bad thing because the people around you die before you do, or a video game where lycanthrope/vampirism is basically just a giant stat boost and the normal drawbacks don't exist. The Examples include a Real Life section. Autism posted:Autistic savants: They generally have superb mathematical abilities, despite being burdened with autism and being bully magnets. However, it's generally with very severe cases and is extremely rare. Boobs posted:Being small or flat-chested. You may not get a lot of attention and you may even feel left out or be teased. But you also have an easy time finding bras and shirts that fit you (may even be able to squeeze yourself into an extra small shirt and still be comfortable) and you won't have to suffer the back pains that your larger-chested counterparts likely do (for example, Queen Latifah said on the Tyra show that her breasts became downright torturous when she used to play basketball, and Tyra added that merely rushing to answer a ringing phone could be painful.) Spergin posted:While this can vary from the perspective of the individual with it, Asperger's Syndrome is this. Sure you generally will have less social ability, but you have lowered social inhibitions and have "special interests" which enable one to memorize, study, and focus on said subject for longer amounts of time then a normal person. Virgins posted:Single people. Although they may feel lonely at times and get ridiculed by others, single people have plenty of benefits. They have more freedom, less drama in their lives, more focus on goals, no worries about someone cheating on them, etc. "Blessed With Suck", by the way, is for the opposite: where something that is meant to be good turns out to be awful, like in the story of Midas. Apparently it comes as a surprise to tropers that an autism-spectrum disorder might possibly not be good to have (but only if you're a female).

"For the RPG Crowd: It's been said that Asperger's Syndrome comes across as if someone decided to make 'Charisma' their dump stat and put all the saved/'saved' points into 'intelligence'." Oh thank dear christ I was getting confused.

Check out the TVT page for any upcoming high profile movie (I'm sure this also works with TV shows, games and other pieces of troper-preferred media) and you'll see that tropers love to fill them to the hilt with "tropes" despite the fact that they've yet to be released. It combines the Internet's love of reporting on every new scrap of information about an unreleased movie with TVTropes' "must catalog everything" obsession and the results are just as worthless as you'd expect. Seriously, look at how much bullshit they've already written for the new Godzilla film. Imagine what that page will be like when tropers have actually seen the movie! And then there's creepy poo poo, like in the YMMV tab: Hilarious In Hindsight posted:The casting of Aaron Taylor Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen as husband and wife, considering the fact they were recently cast as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in The Avengers: Age of Ultron. Especially when you remember Ultimate Marvel. "Especially when you remember" links to Twincest, a trope which makes me sick to my stomach.

Really happy that I never got into comics as a kid. SA has taught me that my own nerdery of having birthday parties at museums was perhaps the most benign form of nerd childhood I could have. At least it never came close to giving me a socially cripling sexual fetish or insane obsession with unspeakably awful fandoms.

I know quite a few people with Asperger's syndrome who are undeniably intelligent and surpass their peers in knowledge or academic achievement, but I know just as many who are just nerdy and not really good at anything that isn't their favorite RPG series or anime trivia.
