Ever head of Poe's Law? It's an internet adage that states without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views.
I am genuinely disturbed by this. What kind of Hellworld alternate reality do we live in where it's impossible to tell if this is satire or sincerity? This is some @ripskater level trolling/idiocy.

I'm cynical enough to believe that, but I'm not sure who the target market is supposed to be. Is it a satirical gift or a sincere gift? Can they get both groups or should they have been more obvious to who they are trying to reach?
