Online commenting cliché: "You realize that X = Y, right?"

Of late, I find this clichéd phrase "You realize that X = Y (or some non-obvious statement which might not even be correct), right?" appear in online comments a lot. I find it very toxic.

Example on HN:

https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=%22you+realize%22+%22%2C+right%3F%22&start=0

https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=%22you+do+realize%22+%22%2C+right%3F%22&start=0

"No, you presumptuous commenter, I don't realize that. If I did, I wouldn't have said it in the first place. You realize that, right? Why don't you just say X = Y and leave it at that?"

I know it's supposed to be clever, but the novelty has worn off and now it's just very annoying.
