In principle, Super OCD is a trope about a character who, according to the text, has OCD, and that OCD manifests as the inaccurate "person must have all their pencils aligned" stereotype.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

...Mate, like I said, this is for trope talk.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
I've seen Super OCD being used as an umbrella trope for any character that displays Neat Freak or Schedule Fanatic tendencies or even when a character displays any sort of hyper meticulous organization skills, despite otherwise not having OCD. Is this technically correct, or are there ways one can tell if a trope is actually Super OCD vs. just a hyper organized character?
EG: Twilight Sparkle keeps everything so ridiculously orderly that she can sense when someone misaligns her otherwise organized paraphernalia from the other side of the room. Does this mean she's got Super OCD?
