This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just once I would like a movie about a computer person that doesn’t focus on their over-exaggerated autism
The Matrix (1999)
Every character in the matrix has turboautism.
Well that's because the main character is a trans girl, and who's ever heard of a trans girl who wasn't autistic?
The Net with Sandra Bullocksies.
Or at the very least make it some different type of autism expression, give me the tired autist who is very aware of social situations but doesn't give a shit anymore. Or even manic goblin autist who has found stability in a form of controlled chaos, no I don't mean in a manic pixie dream girl sorta way I mean they shot put a fucken wrench through a wall to kill a fly that's been annoying them for the last 40 minutes sorta way.
the only good one i know is abed from community
Your second example is Wrench from Watch_Dogs 2 to a T
I wanna be friends with that second one
Hang on to your butts!
How about Goldeneye? Two computer people in main roles and I don't think either can be really called autistic.
Boris is sure interesting, but not autistic. Maybe dips into the spectrum at most.
Anti-Trust (2001). Also has early GNOME in some shots as well
