How do I even begin to respond to this comment? I've been asking myself that question since I read it. I decided to read it thoroughly and even read the link provided. I do not claim to have all the right answers or know the absolute answer to every issue, social or philosophical, that has ever existed. I merely have an opinion formed through my short span on this planet. Whether it's right or wrong, or even matters, is better judged by people far wiser than myself. Lacking those people's notice, I have decided to try and give the most objective opinion as a response to your comment that I am able to.

First off, dressing in drag as Uncle Grandpa does is ordinarily used to be humorous. Though dressing as a Rose could be seen as distasteful, it in no way was meant to harm or insult the character of Rose. The sand mermaid is a popular for of amusement performed at beaches, and Uncle Grandpa's use of it is to create humor by means of a popular activity. Neither of these activities seek to attack anybody.

Secondly, I doubt very much that Pearl is on the autistic spectrum, mostly because she is an alien made of pure energy. She has neither DNA nor physical biology, therefore it would most likely be impossible. Furthermore, Pearl's behavior does not indicate any sure signs of being on the spectrum. Her social skills, or lack of them, are due to her unfamiliarity or disagreement with the social conventions of humanity. Her perfectionist nature is due her training and fierce martial experience. Her exaggerated behavior is due to the natural conflict between her logical mind and the illogical manner of Uncle Grandpa. This trope is oft repeated, most extremely in the works of H.P. Lovecraft, though it is even used in Steven Universe with the natural disagreements between Pearl and Amethyst.

Finally, I would like to bring to attention that the source listed is heavily biased. You can tell from the content of the blog that the writer had a clear hatred for the episode before it even aired. The writer's viewpoint is close-minded, hateful, does not provide any evidence nor logical reason for any argument written. The worst thing done by that writer, however, is that the writer ignores any criticism of opinion, even attacking personal character.
