>>149705545Many of those autists are people who want all their autistic fixations combined into one thing and then add on top of that a madcap, Mask/Jim Carrey-esque, Looney Tunes humor where the protag's engage in 90's surreal humor/references, and classic cartoon humor constantly as well as appear superior over their antagonists at every turn, then you have the fetish power fantasy that many autists want. Plus it's easier for autists to draw. It's also funny that Dobson hates anime so much when TMS and other Japanese studios animated so much of the shit his ilk likes. At points western cartoons animated by those studios would look anime-like anyway and guys like Timm took inspiration and appreciated eastern stuff.
Autists also like easy to read expressions. As for the name, I'd just say 90's how to draw book style. Some are more like Tiny toons while others kind of veer into Hembeck or Cathy type style for the bodies while the eyes are like the most generic western style imaginable.
