And then those degenerates wonder why women avoid them like the plague. Probably thought that was a compliment, too.

Pretty sure it's just a troll. By my estimation, people who act like that online are actually just unfunny normies and/or 13 year old kids. Degenerate is a bit harsh.

Is it though? There's no way to tell if it's supposed to be funny or something, in written communication, so there's no choice but to take it literally.
And it's really just gross and distasteful and if they think it's funny they should probably get their head checked.

It's called giving the benefit of the doubt, do it for your own sanity. Is it gross and distasteful? Yes. Is the poster a mentally ill and a threat to themself or others? Probably not.

The absurdity of it points to a joke, IMO. Dirty, off-putting and likely contrary to the conversation going on in the rest of the post it was left on, which may even be further hinting at a type of humor intended by the user (IE trolling).

"Indicates toward", yes. But nothing more. On the flipside there absolutely are individuals that actually mean these things when they say them. Take the incels as an example.
Apart from never understanding the appeal of "haha look, they all hate me because I said something stupid" I'd quote 4chan:

Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.

That is the appropriate response
