  • Lol, implying women are attracted to money is not a stereotype that only an incel can attribute. Comedy often pokes fun at stereotypes, of course without trying to offend.
    I don’t think the joke is “… literally placing the blame …”
    The joke is more light-hearted than outright “blame”.
    “Incel” is a modern word with negative connotation, that I don’t think need be retroactively applied to all things related to rejection or attraction from a woman.
    It ruins the joke.

    Yeah I don’t think Rodney Dangerfield, we’re he alive today, would accept the “incel” brand so easily. His comedy and attitude are different. That’s why it doesn’t deserve an “incel bullshit” comment. It’s simply a funny self-depricating type joke…
    But what do I know… maybe it wasn’t even Rodney Dangerfield who came up with the joke.

    🫤 I didn’t say anybody “can’t be” anything at all.
    I said it was a funny old joke. Then I wisecracked incels are ugly people with shitty personalities. If anything, that insensitivity should be what any reply is about.
    Are…are you in the same conversation as me?

    Exactly. On account of he’s dead. He can no longer promote anything, that’s how death works.
    And “incel” didn’t exist yet. Not getting laid back then was due to what was known as, “being ugly and having a shitty personality”.
    Same as today, just not rebranded into a catchy portmanteau.
