Morphology
fatshit + comment
The noun 'comment' is transparent, but the modifier 'fatshit' is not a standard lexical item and is a profane, creative formation (fat + shit) whose precise evaluative sense is not predictable. A learner who knows 'fat' and 'shit' might infer a negative or intense judgment (i.e., a very bad or nonsensical remark), but the exact nuance and register are idiomatic and require exposure. Therefore the expression is partially, but not fully, transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The slang noun fatshit comment comes from a blunt picture: fat means very full and shit is used for rubbish or nonsense, so a fatshit comment is a remark full of nonsense. That's why it means 'an absurd or ridiculous remark' today.
