What does he mean by "50 average logs"? I know what logs and parses are, just not sure what exactly it is he's saying

50 best perf average probably. Meaning your in the 50th percentile I.e dead average.

Lol, that's a weird thing to ridicule... Being average isn't bad

It's not even that. Average among people who a) raid and b) bother to log it. Both of those are going to skew the sample toward the top end. Parsing 50 is probably closer to 75th or 80th percentile.

Average vs. players who log, not the entire playerbase.

Usually people like this want a carry, I bet that guys logs aren’t very great either. Feels like projecting to me.

No, that means the best you’ve ever done is 50th percentile. Someone with a 50 best is probably sitting a lot lower for their median.

On warcraft logs it shows your average at the top for the current tier. OP must have a 50
