I'm more surprised Bob didn't cut all the internet. At that point, Bob knew full well and experienced Chris' online antics. With Chris turning tomgirl, it must've come to a complete shock to Bob. I think Bob believed that the trolls tricked Chris into turning tomgirl, but ended up going along with it since there was nothing left for the old man to do other than throw the homo card at Chris. If I was Bob, I would get rid of the internet, chuck the computer away, and just close the family out, once and for all.
I think before the bullshit started, he saw the computer as a tool to help Chris. Chris made his own website and put his art up, that's pretty innocent. Probably showing Bob all the stuff he could do on it, leading Bob to suggest a CAD degree. No doubt Chris was in chat rooms at night, but in those days you weren't getting doxxed as easily as now. TV + vidya + internet probably kept Chris occupied instead of kicking stuff around the house and yelling. He was probably impressed Chris was making videos and uploading them, just never having seen the ones like Chris putting his dick in the snow.
When the trolling started I'm sure everything Bob heard was one-sided and thought they were picking on his autistic son because he was young at heart with his little cartoon mouse thing. By the time it was becoming a big issue like the home tours and the trooning, Bob was too tired to fight it. The internet, like vidya and TV, were babysitters that didn't eat your food and Bob just limped to the finish line while praying for the best.
Other than making him, the biggest mistakes Barb and Bob made were not putting him in special ed and not taking away his internet when they saw it was more than just a randon lynch mob.
