Why do people automatically associate swords with autism? I have a vast sword collection, mostly Asian and Old Norse blades which seem to be the main issues, and I don't understand how this makes me autistic. I'm a virgin, yes, but swords actually make me MORE likely to get laid. I have had countless conversations with cute, cute girls in my classes about the weapons I own. I have been able to speak to women for the first time because they want to know about my Viking Sword, or my latest Bamboo handled Katana. I dream of meeting a girl called Anya so I can say "I own a Katana but l want a cute Anya", that is when I will lose my virginity. But I'm not autistic. I buy these swords to use as often as I can. I have many friends.

Owning a sword is cool and all, but using it's a little strange. Don't be the kid who brags about his katana skills.
>>27618715
Because edgelords and people who try too hard to be hardcore. Swords are pretty cool. I only have two el cheapo decoration ones, and one bokken which is probably no better
>>27618715

in much the same way as the jester is certain to pork the queen

Huh get real, kid

Taste my steel!
>>27618715
The autism is quite strong with this one.
>newshits
This is a copypasta you buffoons.
>>27618784
Deal with it dude, it's not the autistic hobby you thought it was in your hugbox--it's the real deal. Girls are predisposed to get wet for men who have a taste for steel. It's just basic biology.
If anyone here is actually interested in buying authentic swords I usually just send them here.

I don't know that this is a thing at all. And I can't really believe that it increases your chances of getting laid.
I've been meaning to buy some swords for years. I don't have any yet, but I do have a small collection of knives and machetes. Including a handmade Bhutanese machete that was made on the National Mall.
The autism (if autism even exists) comes in when you ignore the fact that swords are lethal weapons. The same can be said to the normalfags who end up buying one and then end up seriously injuring someone doing a stupid ass trick while drunk.
Some of the greatest street fighters in history used swords, were they "autistic"?

To be clear, this >>27619551 was literally the first result when searching youtube for "sword"
Also, This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5rEm5H_CLw was the "up next" video (the top recommended when watching that first video)...

>Some of the greatest street fighters in history used swords, were they "autistic"?
Well considering they lived at a time when carrying a sword was normal, so no. But sword collecting, like having model trains, isn't inherently autistic, but it sets off some red flags.
>>27618743
This.
I'd own a few swords just to own them if I could, but it'd be weird as fuck to.
>>27620701

How is it "weird as fuck" to own swords and why would it "set off red flags"?

TFW I'm currently lying under a weighted blanket and chewing on a Chewigem
Things I don't know what they are that are on your list:
>person has synesthesia, especially multiple-synesthesia
What does this mean?
>>27622384
Same. That's part of why I included it. You know the best part about being an aspie with an aspie girlfriend? She knows about the light touch thing and doesn't fucking ruin your blowjob.
Seriously though, that light hand on your shoulder? From behind? That's not quite a pat and not quite a tracing/stroking motion? Fuck that. I swear to God I've sensed people walking up behind me and recoiled preemptively just to avoid that. And holding hands to pray? The way people just trace or brush your hand with their fingers? Fuck that shit. Clutch me.
>Honestly i'd be less stressed if someone kicked me.
This is half the reason I like people who are rough more than I like people who are touchy and delicate. Pain at least doesn't short-circuit my brain.
>>27622415
Sperglord detected.
>>27622447
I dunno. Some of the coolest dudes I've known have fit a fuckton of those traits, which is why I remembered them enough to include them. Not gonna lie, though, sperg that hard, you're gonna have a rough time.
>>27622464
What's a chewigem?
>What does this mean?
Basically, a concept or a sense is wired to another sense or concept in your brain. Letters or numbers or music has color, words can be tasted, times and dates can be organized visually or spatially (as in you actually "see" time that way), shit like that. It's more common in people with autism, likely as a result of the neural connections involved being there from the same lack of pruning that might cause autism.
It sorta just goes along with the fact that autists often process things, in a sensory sense, very differently. Sensory Processing Disorder isn't uncommon among aspies.

I met someone who has that. I've actually been meaning to try to hang out with him again, but I lost his phone number. :(

I like Swords and i'm not a virgin, so there's that.

I stim a bit when alone, I have a couple of stimming things in my desk drawers. I obsess over lots of things but generally know not to bug people about them unless directly asked or I pretend I don't know as much as much stupid shit as I do about whatever.
I just learned to overcompensate a lot and drink some booze if I need a little help before I go out with friends so I'm less quiet and potentially awkward.
A week or so ago a couple of my friends were talking about someone they know with autism and said they felt kind of bad about making tard jokes near him. They didn't even glance at me while agreeing it would be too awkward to apologize. Have I succeeded?

I've heard about weighted blankets and I've always wanted to get one. Where'd you get yours from and how is it?
Are knives less autism.
I got two puukkos, Swiss army knife, Balisong, folding knife and two kukris.
Would like to get kunai and one of those old-fashioned straight razors for the hell of it.
>>27623583
I got mine from Sensory Goods. My only regret is not getting one years ago. I also got a 7lbs weighted lap pad that I place on my torso for extra weight when I want it. My weighted blanket is 17lbs. I went with their sale option which saves a bunch of money (you just don't get to chose the pattern). The pattern I got I actually like a lot more than any of the ones they were offering as choices.
I also want to get one of their weighted teddy bears at some point.

please no finnish kieli here
it's cool that you omistat two puukkos but seriously

Well what do you call it then? Just saying knife could mean hundred different things from kitchenware to assassin blade.

I want to go full fucking hema, but there are no hema clubs where i live!
>>27619045
BTW, Here is a pic of my handmade Bhutanese machete. I also wanted to buy one of the really nice knifes they had too, but being a teenager at the time, I only had enough money to buy one and not both.
>>27623901
whats with the black spot near the handle? also edge looks like an absolute shit. shame on you faggot
>>27623946
As I said you idiotic piece of shit. It was Hand made on the National Mall.
You try making something better with rudimentary tools.
>>27623901
Nice blanket you fucking man-child.
>>27623995
i dont give a fuck. judging by your blanket you had all the time in world to take care of that knife
>>27623946
As you can see, the other side doesn't have such imperfections.
But unlike something made in a factory, something that is made by hand will have little variations, that's part of what makes it unique.
>>27624051
>>27623946
Such jealousy over my Handmade Bhutanese machete...
Does your cheap, store bought, mass produced "katakana" not measure up to my handmade Bhutanese machete?

is guts autistic?
Because this is your average sword owner

>>27624124
its a cool knife alright but you could really polish the edge so it doesnt look all scratched to shit
>>27624221
I think he's referring to someone being interested in it looooooooong past the normal age, such as 18+ years old. Same with a bunch of the other things he mentioned such as pokemon, fireemblem, and an interest in trains.
>>27624267
how should I polish it?
>>27624261
>chopping with a gladius
holy shit my autism
>>27624287
i would try with finest grain sand paper you can find
>>27624261
That's not even a sword. That's a Cold Steal machete. I have some Cold Steal machetes and I don't call them swords.
I also don't wildly swing any of my weapons or play/fuck around with them like that nor do I make stupid cringy videos.
>>27624298
OK, I'll try that. Thank you.
>>27624374

>>27624410
>Your friend has plenty of swords
That's Not my "friend." I don't even know who that is.
>>27624124
my fucking sides it's not even a real knife blade, what you've done there is put a blunt bit of thin metal on a handle and tried to put an edge on it
>>27624673
>what you've done there is put a blunt bit of thin metal on a handle and tried to put an edge on it
First off, I did not make it. A Bhutanese man made it by hand.
Secondly, it is not blunt at all, it is razor sharp.
Thirdly, It is not thin at all. It is about half an inch thick along it's spine and has a relatively even angle to the edge.
The jealousy tastes soo good.
>>27624673
I'm not the guy you were replying to, but to be fair most modern knives and swords are made by grinding or sanding down blunt blocks of prefabricated steel.
>>27623163
People that attack with blades only reveal them at the last second.
>>27618715
>I dream of meeting a girl called Anya so I can say "I own a Katana but l want a cute Anya", that is when I will lose my virginity. But I'm not autistic.
That sentance really says it all mate.
You're not legally autistic, because you are undiagnosed.
Doesn't mean you haven't got the 'tism. Just means you're high functioning enough to avoid the head doctors.
>>27618715
>Why do people automatically associate swords with autism?
Well, it takes a certain amount of Autism to be good at robotics.
>>27618743
>this
collecting swords or other melee (whoever decided to spell that word like that should be brought back from the dead and then sodomized to death again) weapons is perfectly fine. Using them, and barging about having skills at using them or posting videos using them is really cringy.
>>27618935
This is the most autistic shit I've seen all day. Girls won't like you more or less for owning s sword. If you're hot they'll think it's quirky and if you're ugly they'll think it's creepy and stupid. Girls don't like swords they might if they like you but most of them I've met think they're weird and owned by larpers
>>27626975
Giving your steel a purpose is the most important part of owning it. It is a waste not to let is sing its hums through the air and leave it locked up in a showcase. A purposeless existence is the saddest thing of all and any robot should know that.
