I can't figure this one out. Is it an actual dad joke or is it a meta dad joke where the joke is that "dad joke" = joke about dads?

Why the heck is this joke so controversial?
It's not so much a joke as a recitation of a tired stereotype
Probably. Although I suspect at least one person downvoted because they thought it was actually a post why gay people shouldn't be parents.
Double the dad jokes...
And if they are the children of lesbians, then it's an eternity of "go ask your mom."
Oh my god I didn't even think of that! Yikes! Those poor poor kids ...
Kid: Dad I'm hungry!
Dad1: Hi hungry, I'm Dad!
Dad2: Hi Dad, I'm Dad!
Dad1: Hi Dad! I'm Dad!
Etc for an infinite loop.
Parents telling their kids "Oh! You are NOT going out wearing THAT!" suddenly has an all new meaning.
"Stripes and plaid, honey, puh-lease!"
