The only thing in the article that could be construed as negative was sort of saying how MLP fans seem weird to other people, so it is a pretty fair link to draw is that Bob was saying that autistic people are weird, without knowing about the fact that he was referencing someone else.

That's the opposite of true.

The article linked in response, supposedly to fill a gap about what article was "making us look autistic" did in no way reference autism in any way. In other words, from Snake's perspective, and my own as well before this point, it seemed Bob had heard about the article you linked and either thought or heard that it was "making us look autistic." While Snake was incorrect in where to direct his anger, it was based on the information he had at the moment which did not appear to be lacking any key points. Snake lashed out for the right reasons, but based on further information it seems it was the wrong person he lashed out against.

And then he said:

As in, "why are people saying this makes us look autistic?"

At least that's my take on it. What this doesn't change is the fact that Snake has a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. He's very reactionary and it's a thing he needs to work on. I mean I could diagnose all sorts of shit that I learned about in my Dynamics of Human Development class (I mean hell, I diagnosed myself with several different dispositions and disorders until I realized that was why I went to doctors when I was a kid) but really that would just be making excuses.

Snake has a habit that he needs to work on. That's really all I'm getting at here.
