This is a special kind of pedantic. You literally said the same thing as them but with mostly unnecessary specificity and explanation and acted like THEY were the idiot for assuming people would appreciate and understand their metaphor. Nah dude, they explained it the way it was explained to them and they understood it and so did most people.
I believe when he said this is a special kind of stupid he was referring to himself and prefacing his own comment with a little warning.
It's Tumblr. Make no assumptions, work with what they have literally said, and you will rarely be disappointed by their actual meaning.
This is why I like Instagram. You're allowed to use metaphors over there.
