My guess it's a rude jargon thing (comes up a lot in anime and the like, used
by male characters). What does it mean?

> A: ～～  
>  B: そういう君は～ or そういうおまえこそ～

そう言う (そういう君 = "you who are talking like this..."), そういう (that kind of thing),
or something else?

question
meaning modification
そういう君は～、 そういうおまえこそ～ - meaning?
A common expression like 「そういう + Person + （こそ）」 has a few different meanings.
What the 「そういう」 part refers to depends entirely on the context.

Main Possibilities:

  1. Someone has made a statement that you feel the need to address because it is not something you expected to hear and you want to come back at them. 「そういう」＝「そう言う」

> Woman: 「[謝]{あやま}りなさいよ！ (You made a f***in' **** outta me last night, you
> piece of ****in' ****!)」

> l'électeur: 「謝るかっ、ボケ！そういうお前こそオレに謝れ！ (You always *********!)」

  2. Someone is being a certain way that you do not approve of and you want to make a comment about it. 「そういう」＝「そんな」

> 「(Explanation of how the listener has been to the speaker.)
> そういうあなたがもういやになってしまったんです。」

  3. The positive version of case 2). You like the way someone is or has been and you want to make a comment about it. 「そういう」＝「そんな」

> 「(Explanation of the wonderful things the listener has done for the speaker
> over the years.) そういう[君]{きみ}を[愛]{あい}している。[結婚]{けっこん}してほしい。」
