"gay or European" is a projection of USamerican prudishness and partially the result of a conflation between being "visibly queer" and "visibly sexual", as well as a projection of USamerican queer idiosyncrasies onto the western European context (inherited from USamerican cultural defaultism). It is also yet another example of the essentially USamerican worldview –later exported to Western Europe as a reciprocal or inverted perspective– that what is worth thinking about outside the USA is Western Europe (the entirety of Europe in their minds, simultaneously generalizing Western Europe, flattening the entirety of Europe and ignoring the rest of the world). To the USamerican, the rest of the world is Europe, and the USamerican queer is equivalent to the "libertine" European.
"autistic or German" is the meeting point of the specific online fetishization of autism as the assumption of the USamerican DSM and mediated mostly by TikTok, the creation of autism as an internet subculture more or less detached from both its psychiatric creation and its actual social existence; drawing on clinical categories while replacing the social reality of autism with a subcultural identity, reducing the symptoms of autism to a laser focus and authority on a very specific topic (hyperfixation) and the social-interpersonal deficiencies derived from the nature of the autistic savant — and the view of German culture as being based on preciseness and interpersonal dryness, generally the result of the whitewashed rehabilitation of the German nation and culture carried out by West Germany in the context of the cold war anti-communist crusade and the carving out of a niche in the industrial sector of the world economy (German products being marketed and seen as uniquely well-crafted, precise and reliable).
