That is the point, yeah. It's just ragebait, but for the chronically online chuds who fill their days with 2016 era youtube videos that have red arrows on the thumbnail, yellow circles, black outlined white impact font, and then they also have the one picture of that chick yelling when trump got inaugurated.
People get addicted to this kind of stuff because it specifically triggers negative emotions, which they associate to certain phrases, concepts, things, and people, and then they get pushed further and further inward to rationalize it more and more.
That's how these assholes propagate. "It's just a joke, it's just a gag" is a classic camouflage. There are lots of these guys that are trying to live their lives as a kind of extended andy kaufman style seven layers deep bit, just so they can try to expose more people. Actual satire gives them the perfect cover and inoculation point for exposure, because then they can claim that it's just a joke and it's all done in good fun, and that you're being too sensitive and have no sense of humor when they start "jokingly" comparing the bugs to whatever real life minority they legitimately want eradicated.
