: Haven't you seen the meme "u mad, bro?" The whole point of it, and
: "cool story bro," is the mockery of the recipient's status, the
: whole "the strong are gentle" mantra of internet culture since
: getting mad at strangers over the internet is a joke because of the nature
: of all the inconsequential anonymity and "Serious Business"
: attitude.

: The narrator is a troll, and not a funny one.

Yes, in that sense it's used to mock someone, which is to say that the word is being used with opposite intent of its original meaning. That's like saying the word "genius" is inherently an insult because sometimes people say "Good one, genius," to mock those they see as unintelligent or foolish.
