  • 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.







  • What’s so insane about all this is that Trump saying something like that out loud means it’s now practically gospel to the vast majority of GOP voters, and might as well be official party policy.

    I truly believe comment like this, and maybe the whole post, is harmful.
    I know you want to state your opinion, but if your goal was to change opinion, this language/post will never, ever, cause a republican to flip or abstain from voting. I don’t believe anybody in the middle would care and it certainly won’t affect lefties.
    In fact you added another “Trump” word to be searched on the net, and added fuel to a dumpster fire.
    It’s like school shooters and mass murderers. We need to stop naming these psychos. It adds to his ego and infamy. Any publicity is good publicity.
    And I imagine, it might even might spark others to follow suit. Everybody is so concerned with Trump, nobody’s thinking about who comes after.
