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.

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.
