We are organising the brotherhood of evil aspies on a social media site right now... Besides, most of the aspies here are probably addicted to social media anyways :\
Let me rephrase that: the major social networking sites. Message boards with a specific topic, like this one, will be outside of our line of fire. We keep those, but take out the big ones like MSN, Facebook, and Twitter. Specialised internet fora are geek dens anyway, and everyone knows a geek venue is 80% Aspie.

You can call me Dragonfly. I will control the minions of the forest (plants and animals) as well as the elements to do our bidding!! !
I also must object with this whole spandex business. I must wear natural fiber. It is my way.

Wow, cool power, seriously. Does it have anything to do with your interests?
Also, as of now: trenchcoats for everyone who's opposed to spandex!!

x-men actually has got no evil side... just two different oppositions and we see it all through the eyes of the conservatives, fighting against the visionars who are willing to sacrifice humanity for building a new and better world.
neverthless, it's a stupid, stupid movie xD
the title of this thread is a bit freaky, don't you think? isn't reading superhero-comics and living in irrational fantasy-things a vice of lower minded people? the kind of aspergians who do this have to be very different to what I knew.
if this was just a joke, I'm sorry^^ I've grown oversensitive about blinders here. xD
Of course it's a joke. My
actual plans of world domination are a purely private matter.
And I thought First Class was flawed. I have to admit I think I'd have enjoyed it more if I had been a kid. Hell, I liked Judge Dredd.
I'm torn on First Class (or any X-Men movie) presenting the main struggle as being a clash of ideologies between Xavier and Magneto. I prefer to think to see X-Men as Xavier and his X-Men finding themselves hemmed in between the equally rampant bigotry of Magneto and like-minded mutants on one side, and that of prejudiced normal humans on the other. And it's the X-Men's charge to combat
both for the sake of peaceful coexistence.
I don't think Magneto's ways were ever intended to be equally valid to Xavier's, and I've never read a comic that presents it like that.
