If I understood right, you are under the impression that the original post is from an incel calling out someone for being enthusiastic about determinist philosophy; and wrongfully likening it to a fetish. A few bits of context seem to have eluded you:
Explaining a joke makes it less funny. A deep dive like this, however, actually kinda makes it even funnier.
Whoever first said explaining a joke makes it less funny was a big liar
The key is to go far enough. A simple explanation does make it less funny. A thorough deconstruction makes it funnier.
"You're not just wrong, you're so far off I could make this the pivotal piece of a case study in misinterpreting humor"
God damn.
I've never been a tumblr user, but i've been subscribed to multiple "curate tumblr"-style online communities for YEARS and i haven't picked up on your two last points
