Don't really like any of those...I like some sci-fi, but I'm more a fan of post-apocalyptic/cyberpunk/steampunk/etc...very rarely do I find an anime I enjoy...not a fitness buff, but I like to keep myself in shape...love and dating is kind of a universal interest for everyone, I'd say. Or almost everyone, at least. It's a deep psychological impulse to keep our species multiplying

Couldn't care less about this.
F*ck this.
I'm a pacifist.

Fitness and sports |
The urge to be fit is basically just a primitive competitive instinct. Because we're aspies, we're also good with the details that make fitness fun.
Reality shows suck.

Some sci-fi (eg. X-Files) rock!

| I don't know why I like anime so much. It got kind of imprinted into my brain from a young age, and developed into my biggest obsession. Though I must say, I don't like every anime that's out there. I used to change my favorite series every year or two, but I've definitely found two favorites that I'll stick with for probably the rest of my life: Hellsing and Trinity Blood. |

Anime- I only like some. Appleseed was good. Essentially I am drawn to weird futuristic stuff, colourful flashing stuff, comic book gore and ickyness, and weird characters or plot twists. I guess anime delivers these in abundance
Politics- Not something I can get my head around but it does interest me. Something about the complexity of it all on a global scale.
The military- Brought up around military stuff so I have an appreciation for unimaginably expensive equipment and the utmost respect for those who know what to do with it.
Fitness and sports- That's a negatory on the fitness . I like a few sports but most involve huge engines or huge men hugging.
Reality TV Shows- ...are a plague on humanity which will continue to spread until everyone is famous in some way and nobody cares about anything anyone else has achieved other than to better it or slander it.
Love and dating- Yeah, that's been interesting to say the least...
Your own sexuality or whatever- I guess most people have an interest in this.
Science fiction-type stuff- Again with the unimaginably large concepts etc |

Nope. Although there does seem to be a lot of anime fans on WP.
Used to be till I started having anger issues with it. I'm aware now that all politicians are just out for themselves and not the people. 
Nope.

Are you kidding me? Boring.....
I just like to look, not really my thing. I do like to give feedback every now and then. Hey I can't help it, I'm an aspie. 
| Quote: | | Your own sexuality or whatever |
Cause sexuality is part of who we are as a species or whatever. 
| Quote: | | Science fiction-type stuff |
Not real into Science Fiction of course I do like some of Jules Verns books since it relates to the past and what the future would've looked like at that time he wrote his science fiction.

The avatar rocks. It tells the truth about both Hollywood's favourite tyrant and the middle-class white kids' favourite tyrant.

Anime: I only like some of it, mostly hayao Myazaki
Politics: Discusssing it makes me depressed
The military: I have no real interest the military
Fitness and sports: Besides Hiking and Martial Arts I really do not care and even these are ocassional interests.
Reality TV shows: I really could care less. I find most of them very boring. I do like Mythbusters though.
Love and Dating: I would wish to date somebody in the future, but I am not to worried about that right now
your own sexuality or whatever: I am straight and comfortable with who I am. I do not understand what you mean by this really.
Science Fiction type stuff: I am really into Sci Fi. Star Wars is one of my favorite movies. I just seems to find sci if interesting.

I can't see truth nor falsehood in it. It's just daft opinion.
I'm pretty sure Fidel didn't aim for a Hollywood audience, nor Che attempt for a middle-class white kid audience... |

1. Don't have a bias towards it, though I really can't understand its particular appeal. I enjoy some Hayao Miyazaki, Azumanga Daioh and that's about it.
2. Because it completely affects how we go about our lives? The apolitical ironically tend to be the biggest whingers.
3. Wouldn't it be nice to find on the newspaper stands sometime tomorrow that all the worlds' militaries have disarmed and disbanded?
4. In a couple of days I opt to do a bit of deviation and bike to and from the gym (while working out there of course). I'm not particularly interested in fitness and sport and haven't been for several years, but us men do look nice when we have developed torsos, 'tseems. Maybe it is an extension of us worried about subject 6., in that it'll make girls more interested in us generally?
5. Personally I don't have a bias towards or against reality TV ever. If anything I must say a lot of it shows great social experimentation and we've got a fair amount to learn from it. Other than that it's just another genre. I always watch Wife Swap when I know it's on though!
6. When someone loves you (in that way) and you do back etc, it's a feeling that can exceed the best music, art, discovery, dreams, food... and it's generally hard for the aspergic to get some of it!
7. Maybe aspergic people are more likely to be confused about it? Just throwing that out there; it's a thought.
8. I don't personally. Guess it's something else that captures us generally. |
