You're trying to add nuance so this will probably not go over well in this dumpster fire of a comment thread, but you are correct. The butt of the joke is the person asking the questions because they look like a creep/pervert/overly horny. This is a form of self-deprecating humor on part of the original commenter in the screenshot, but apparently the internet is still where humor goes to die.

    Sure, but people explicitly use the excuse of "it was just a joke" to cover for bigotry and to (successfully) move the Overton Window right.

    On the internet, it's a coin toss as to whether or not the person posting that was poking fun at themself (or a fictional version of themself) like you say
