If the guy likes SAO then he likes SAO. Opinions are opinions.

I know you said no JRPGs but what about Infinite Undiscovery? the titles literally says there is a infinite amount of something to undiscover. It sounds perfect
yes this is a shitty joke post

People have different tastes. SAO has a lot of inherent flaws in the writing, characters and overarching story, but it appeals to a very specific subset of people and those people love it.
You just gotta let people have their tastes and focus on what you have in common, not what you don't.
At first I thought that was Animation Domination High-Def, then I saw that it was the official Power Rangers channel -> uuuuhhh.
Speaking of ADHD, here's a Gurren Lagann thing
Cool. I already like him alot and if i can get slightly decent with him i would probably never pick anyone else like how i do King dedede. I love big or grappler characters. just waiting for Jax in MKX hopefully.
In a good way. but if you call staring at it for more than a couple of minutes that then yes.

He's not. That was the MAG video. This is the panel.

that means he was even MORE late, MAGfest posted the video yesterday
Maybe a little? Maybe you should've been less outgoingly dissmissive of what they really like so quickly, since it'll make a bad first impression, especially for a person who really likes the series. Maybe try showing them other series and show them why SAO isn't good.
Korra is so dead, man
Pour one out for korra.
By terrible you mean the best, right?
I wish I could be excited for that game . I don't get the thing other people get playing a thing like Skyrim and going "oh, I'll go in this direction and see what happens", I wish I could though. I need objectives and shit.
If he's weird I'm blaming you.
No, you don't have to hate yourself to watch SAO.
But it is a power fantasy, so...
You know.
The fact he mentioned he's autistic in an unrelated context a bunch of times is a bit strange, he must have been feeling really awkward in the conversation and used that to try and excuse himself.
It's easy to see as a kind of get out of awkward jail free card for us(hell, I've even used it once or twice, and mine isn't even bad), so that's that.
It doesn't seem like you super-overstepped your boundaries, but only you know for sure.
If someone likes something and you don't, it's not necessarily dickish to disagree, even vehemently. Sometimes those arguments can be fun. But again, only you know for sure.

These. Mainly Dragon's Dogma. Very good game which people slept on when it came out. Witcher is pretty great, I'm currently about half way through the first one and I love it.

I also found it super weird how he kept bringing it up... Like you said, he seemed to using it as an excuse/crutch to explain himself.
You're gonna get Kano as your grappler and like it. lol, but play the game however way you want to. As long as you git gud.
It was up on the MAGfest channel yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdiQIKXxj30&ab_channel=MAGFest

I've met a lot of people who use it as an excuse. Like semisonic said, it's like a get out of jail free card for being awkward, which, honestly makes sense and isn't too terrible of a reason.
Look at these nerds
Especially Liam
Nah, this is the official version, the canon video for the channel.
Yep, but the first 20 episodes are slow going (Depending on how you are, I like them just fine and a few others did too) and the double episode at the very beginning is filler, the Manga stuff starts at episode 3.
Overall the anime gets jokes and scenes across much better than the Manga, the manga is still good to read if you don't have time for anime, but the anime overall IS a better way to experience Gintama.

Rugby is fun. There's no American league tho.
And American Football doesn't really resemble Rugby.
Nuh uh, ur a dumb.
Naah I think you're taking his comment too seriously. You eventually dropped the topic and didn't go into a massive argument about it. With one of my friends, one of our first discussions together was a short argument about Witcher. He hated it, especially Geralt as a character, while I love 'em. Didn't bother us none.
It's a defense mechanism. It might be part of the reason he's awkward, but he's using it to excuse it entirely. That's bad form, and he won't grow as a person if he continues to use it.
As I mentioned, back in my awkward Junior High days, I used it a few times, but that was only while I was working to get better(which I did).
Although, it sounds like it might be a bit too late for him anyways...
I was really interested in that big guy but then i saw the little girl on top of him and i cringed. There is nothing i hate more than puppet characters. stands and personas dont count. Jax needs to be in there. he is so cool.

I know really. It is annoying when people make the comparison here. One of the few things that irks me.
I figured this and I was asked to explain why I didn't like it. I explained the obvious reasons and then was kind of just met with a "eh." Stuff like that just bothers me. Sometimes I wish people gave more of a shit and didn't give up at any instance of a thing that might be considered an argument. At least that's how I see it. Might just be that he doesn't care and never cared.
I mean, the guy likes Gurren, Kill La Kill, and a bunch of other stuff I can respect. I figured he might just like everything a little bit though because he's adopted the ways of Aaron without remembering it's okay to dislike bad things. He even brought up the best friends by himself. I probably should of asked if he liked JoJo or Ippo since I think he listens to the podcast.
Different people. I'm referring to the 28 year old guy who isn't autistic. The younger guy who saw SAO only once referred to himself as autistic multiple times. The times he did use it were in the fashion you mentioned. A get out jail free card for certain things like misunderstanding me using the word gross.
Eh, I did bring it up in a single sentence once or twice later. I think I said it was a weird Venn diagram of liking SAO, hating souls, liking Gurren, and then other junk.

Got a question, what makes a Good or Ok character design and where does one even start? (Research? Random sketches? Primary material?)
They could totally do shorts like Republic City Hustle with that EXACT art style and it'd still be cool! Aka Nickeloden animation studios instead of Studio MIR. Won't be as great but it's still a nice art style.
Okay. One point that you should understand, though, is that autists, especially in school, get a strange mix of preferential treatment, discrimination, and condescension that makes it easy for us to develop complexes, persecution and otherwise. That really means that you should hopefully be understanding and a bit forgiving, but still, it's not good to allow him to use it as a social panacea of sorts. But that's more for his own growth. And it may not be your place to inform him of such.
Well I think it's pretty subjective but there are still basic things that I think a lot of people can agree on. I think the character should at least make sense in the context of which he/she exists.
Personally I find less is more with characters I really enjoy, a generic looking character in a really awesome story or with an incredible personality can be infinitely better than an extravagant looking character with an okay story/personality.

If there's something going on, it should be for a reason and fit in with the character
