That's fair, but if you don't think it's meant as a joke, what do you think the intention is?

It's a double-joke because the narcissist truly does not care about this category of criticism.

How did you come to the conclusion that I don’t think it’s meant as a joke, after having that openly explained to me on a public forum?

That kind of mind-reading is right next to gaslighting on the dark triad trait list.

Your direct response to the person explaining that it was a joke was literally ”Right. Joke.” Was that not sarcasm?

While we’re handing out psych evaluations, you seem oddly keen on finding malice in the behavior of others.
