"Autistic" has been used as a slur for a couple of years now, and your comic is no different. It's used against people with different minds and medical conditions. What makes a game autistic? Because it's different than other games? Because they require more thought and work? Because they're busier games? Using the word autistic to describe them is insensitive to those with the condition and misrepresentation of what the word means. Maybe you could use a word that already meets the definition of what you're saying rather than attacking an entire demographic?
