So it's a joke, seems to me it is 'being clever gone wrong.'

I personally relate that topic to all the videos I watched describing why every current form of entertainment needs to be remade in the future.

Runescape is in the entertainment industry, so which side are they making fun of?

Imagine if Disney posted that. They would need to invent a new layer of the internet to handle all the complaints.

It shouldn't be hard to explain the joke. Who or what is being made fun of?
It's absurdist.
What's funny is the OP says that Dad shouldn't know what toxic masculinity is and that's the joke.

Modern grammar is so bad it seems no one angry noticed it's in normal broken troll English. Corrections in brackets.

Hello!

Dad('s) line go(es) back very far, we (are) famed for toothy troll babies! But (this) tradition end(s) with me. After Dad (fought) tiny human, (I) realize(d) that fighting (is) really caused by toxic masculinity. (It) is rampant in troll culture! Baby troll needs (a) father figure. So (my) son (is) named ‘Mam’ instead.

If that is a joke, they have left no stone unturned. I really don't understand the point of the joke. Which part is absurd? Other than all of it?

I'm thinking the folks defending it should be the ones offended by it.

I also think the writer was just trying to be clever. Someone else should have said Yo. Whoa. No.

Most of it is absurd but Dad is right about toxic masculinity being rampant in troll culture.

It's been a long while since I did that Troll Love story quest but it's all about teaching a male troll to treat a female troll better than a bigger more masculine troll which I believe the quest had the masculine male troll be toxic to the female.

It is clever, I don't get offended by jokes, and I also don't like people who do fake fixes to toxic masculinity.

Dad was right about father figures as a fix. Naming his son 'Mam' doesn't make Dad a bad or good father figure.
