Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.

I have seen a young lady with her table loaded with volumes loaded of fictitious trash, poring day after day and night after night over highly wrought scenes and skillfully portrayed pictures of romance, until her cheeks grew pale, her eyes became wild and reckless, and her mind wandered and was lost — the light of intelligence passed behind a cloud, and her soul was forever benighted. She was insane, incurably insane from reading novels.

Sometimes I wonder how far back certain autism stereotypes go. The image of the autistic video game prodigy pre-dates the invention of video games in the form of the autistic pinball wiz. What was it before pinball? Did popular media in the 1800s have an archetype of Guy Who Can't Make Eye Contact But Whips Ass At Billiards?
