      Reply guy is an internet slang term for someone who excessively responds to social media posts, often in an annoying, condescending, or overly familiar or flirtatious manner.

      Says Wikipedia.

          Those people are awful and not who I meant. I’m talking about reply guys who point out that your joke doesn’t work because it is factually incorrect. They (reply guy can be any gender) can see how it would be funny if it were that way but alas it is not.

            hmm, I’m autistic and i learned that you don’t have to bring it up when a joke doesn’t make logical sense pretty young. as an autist, i find that shit annoying. especially when it’s dudebros pointing out “that’s not how guns work” in every movie ever.
