Not entirely true. It is autonomous even now.
By second point Crimea would get right to make their own foreign policy with all consequences.

so between the two options:
  1. be slaves of chocolate chip cookie Putin in Russia
  2. be in a state with their own foreign policy under a truly democratic Strong Ukraine
people chose the first? xnxnxnxnxnxn

It might be hard for a thinking-challenged Russian to understand, but option two would not in practice be any different from option one.

It has become a mootpoint, but from now on they can always explain the good result by the fact everyone who wanted to vote no, didnt vote, and they wouldnt be far from the reality, increasing the legitimacy of the referendum result and accusing the poor democratic response of the anti-russian Crimean people...

  It might be hard for a thinking-challenged EU my old friend to understand what it aleast would have shown that the population of Crimea is not united in their desire to join Russia.
Now USA USA USA puppets in UNa forced act not only against the chocolate chip cookie Russia but also  against 96 80% population of Crimea (on paper atleast).

No, it wouldn't have shown that. The options were "join Russia" or "join Russia after the pro-Russian government says we join Russia."

Even if there was a "fuck off" option, how do you know the results wouldn't be manipulated? The current situation in Crime is not exactly the best for neutral and fair elections.

Yep, true brainwashed Russian.

[...] so I guess this referendum will be 99.8% for joining Russia with more than 100% of votes.

Crimean self proclaimed government announced 96.77% of votes for joining Russia with 83.1% of population. My mistake was 3.03%, I guess my ironic joke had a great success. Funny thing that votes for staying in Ukraine are somewhere around 2% because more than 1% of bulletins were wasted. That what happens when Russians count bulletins (unluckily 146% didn't show up this time ). Just an example: in the end of 2012 Crimeans were the least active in elections in the whole Ukraine having less than 50% activity. Year passes, a lot of people boycott the referendum and BAM Crimeans have more than 83% of activity. Magic of Russian election system, like in good ol' times of USSR.

Oh lol  Just read the official announcement of Mikhail Malyshev (the head of referendum commission): he said that during elections 1,250,426 voted in Crimea besides Sevastopol and 1,724,563 including it. 1,724,563 - 1,250,426 = 474,137. It's 100,000 more people than there are registered citizens in Sevastopol including kids
