Now that I finally got the courage not to delete this, I'm a teen boy with a girlfriend, Emma. We are both minors, this is important to the post.

Emma found this YouTube channel for a show we both used to watch (we need to watch the new seasons). The person who runs it, let's call Chris (~32M).

Emma commented on Chris's videos because she liked his random content. He is very passionate about his interests and loves making videos, he's also autistic just like us and takes great pride in being autistic as he should. Why be ashamed?

Well, Chris ended up finding Emma's art on her channel and really liked it, so he asked her to draw for him. He used to pay people with $100 gift cards according to his old posts but wanted her to do it for free because he couldn't be bothered or didn't have the money.

Emma eventually got tired of this and told him she was too tired and also too busy with her studies, but he wouldn't take the hint (I guess that's ok, Emma and I miss social cues too). Her drawing tablet ended up breaking and she told him that but he was just like "Ok. Can you draw for me?" over and over.

Seems like a load of nothing. Carry on with your life.
