~~So you say you're autistic... <3~~

You're right that its the framing here that reads as very rude - if someone is expressing their desire to do something, coming in and presenting something else as a clearly morally superior choice and denigrating the thing they wanted to do is considered quite rude; both because it assumes they're somehow ignorant of the alternative choices and thus couldn't have made an informed decision, and because it comes across like you're asserting your own preferences as "more valid" than theirs.

Much as with all other forms of encoding (limerick, haiku, .mp4, web packets, semaphore, all written languages, etc) the format in which a lemmy comment is left is as critical to the communication of it's idea as the actual content of the words themselves.
