I'm currently learning how to drive, and I was wondering why do we Yuros keep using manual transmission when automatic exist and is much simpler.
Is it purely because of autism or is there a real reason?
Why?

I assume it's because manuals used to be considerably more fuel efficient than automatics and gasoline is expensive as fuck in yurop.
With advances in automatic transmissions they're now pretty much equal in that regard but people still love to think otherwise.

Even if you plan on driving an automatic you should still know how to work a manual.

theyre gays so they unconsciously enjoy fondling the stick frequently

Manual transmissions feel better, give the driver more control, and at one time they used to be more gas efficient.

Do you have to step on the clutch first before shifting gears, or do you step on it and shift at the same time? Also, at a red light, you have to go back on neutral, and start all over again, right?

Yes
Also I'm good at using the stick in one sense (from 1 toward 5) but bad in the decreasing order, so I fucked up hard on a roundabout during my 2nd driving session and almost had the car stop in the middle of it
Instructor says I'll get used to it but it feels like an unecessary bullshit

I do, but that's more a matter of preference.

You can barely even find a manual gearbox in a car anymore.

Automatics weren't as reliable and fuel efficient as they are today, so those are two old reasons but there's still one left: control.
When you're driving in bad conditions, e.g. in winter, you don't want the car to do anything on its own. So manual is safer in bad conditions.
Manuals also feel good due to the extra control but not all people care about that.
And when you say that automatic is simpler, it's might be simpler to use but from an engineering point of view, it's much more complex.
