I would say that it usually isn't used in a sarcastic or derogatory manner. It can be, but it's also just a way of showing that you commiserate. I've used it before. Except I usually say something like "I know those feels."
This post reeks of petulance, which I honestly doubt was your intent.
You think so? So did others, but I thought she was just being blunt.
Some people just don't like internet slang. My dad hates it. 'Meh, his choice' is usually how I feel about that (not that anyone asked, lol).
Not liking internet slang is one thing.
Assuming something you don't know the meaning of is insulting is a bit different.

Oh, is that what was petulant? OK. I have to admit I don't think I've ever used that word myself.0 -

I did add the caveat (I really don't believe that was the intent). In either case disliking slang is different from just assuming it is meant to be offensive.
I hate when my brother in law says something is "beast." But he's 10 years younger. I assume he just grew up in a different generation, rather than assuming he's an *kitten*. I mean, he is an *kitten*, but he's a loveable *kitten*, not an intollerable *kitten*.0 -

Ha! My younger brother is an **** but he's half lovable and half intolerable
He says words I don't like very much, yeah, but since he can be intolerable I don't know what to think of the words themselves

If someone gets insulted by the slang " dem feelz" then the internet may not be the best place for them.
There's slang used all the time , woo, derp, dem feelz , and so on. Not everything is an insult. But if people enjoy playing the victim, then go for it.
Personally, I'm insulted by the term Beast Mode. My back isn't *that* hairy.

There is a difference between not liking slang and being the person who keeps claiming things along the lines of " I don't know exactly what it is supposed to mean" while passing judgement if it is insulting or not.

Dem feelz isn't always sarcastic or condescending, but if you want to more clearly convey it isn't the usual slang for actual sympathy is "that feeling when" or "I know dem feelz".
Total condescension is achieved with
