The Iron Man movie made me into an autistic incel
Remember how Tony Stark aka Iron Man was the coolest new superhero back in 2008? Remember how everyone praised RDJ's performance?
RDJ delivered a pretty dry, monotone, autistic but somehow charismatic performance. He was so fucking cool and I wanted to be him so bad. I was 13 at the time. I changed my entire personality to be dry, autistic, and monotone like he was. Today I'm still that way and nowhere near as cool as he is. Forward 9 years and I'm here.

First off as others have pointed out, Autism does not work that way! As the parent of two autistic children, and someone with Aspergers I should know.
Well, first of all, that's not how autism works. Secondly, what's cool in movies, isn't always cool irl. Third, he was a rich kid who had a lot of money. As Trump has proven, enough money can get you anything regardless of how lame you are, and honestly, Tony wasn't that great as a person.
If you're gonna base your life around a character to get women, find a character who's actually had a long-term relationship that's successful.
As an autistic person, fuck you, you didn't "become" autistic just because you chose to become a fuck-up. And as everyone else also said before me, Tony Stark is hardly a role model even if he is a hero.
Autism is a brain condition you're born with, you bonehead!
Sure; Tony Stark may look awesome in wearing that shiny can and going "*PEW PEW*" and saving the day but....he's a jerk with a drinking problem.
I don't even FOLLOW this comic book stuff and even I know that.
And again....Autism and Asperger's are neurological conditions, not a persona you adopt.
It's hard for Non-Neurotypical people to get respect when you have IDIOTS like the O.P.....or THIS guy....[IMG]http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f226/SpukiKitty/All%20Reactions%20-%20All-General/chrischan1_zpswsfvhoag.jpg[/IMG]
I wish the Farm was still here to record this nonsense.
@Spuki Ahh, the early days of Chris. If the world knew what he would evolve into something worse at the time.
But considering that "incels" view life in terms of teen rom-coms where the pretty cheerleader dumps her jerk jock boyfriend for nerdy "nice guy", it shouldn't come as a surprise that they can't tell reality apart from fantasy, Kanna.
As I'm fond of pointing out, there's a reason why "Stacey" goes for "Chad"; she's as much of a douchebag as he is. And if "Nice Guys"TM and "incels" would take them down off the pedestal they have them on because they're "hot", they would realize this too.
Maybe it's the fact that you modeled his worst habits and then went supervillain instead of superhero. His character was designed as a delicate balancing act between asshole and hero, after all. You can't rip off only half of a product and then expect it to work as advertised.
Also you don't have a suit of flying power armor with nuclear laser beam palms. That's important, too.
@Shepard Solus:
Tony Stark builds suits that turn him into an ultra-powerful superhero. He builds his own LHC in his office, purely to create an element unknown to the Periodic Table to cure him of the poisoning by the Palladium in his Arc Reactor that kept him alive. He drives Audis. He makes Gods his bitch.
He has a relationship with Pepper Potts.
You are no Tony Stark. You'll never be RDJ.
You'll have to develop a genius-level intellect far in excess of Stark's to figure out why you'll never be.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
