I smell incel.
Yup. Probably didn't even watch Barbie. Or Oppenheimer for that matter.
Hoping you realize that its ironic
I'm hoping that he's just making a joke about social ineptitude rather than making sexist claims.
That’s what is unfortunate about some of these jokes. I find them funny, but most of the times it turns out that the intention was incel-ish. Reddit’s subreddit, DankMemes, is a prime example of this, you think you just saw a harmless sex based joke and then you jump into the comments and you find out the truth.
I would say a joke about how hard it can be for people to get a girlfriend immediately setting of incel alarms for you is being overly sensitive. It's a very relatable and common experience for a lot of young men, so it is ripe for comedy. I guess struggling to get a girlfriend can technically make you involuntarily celibate, but I don't think that was what you meant.
I would say it's basic pattern recognition.
All men struggling to find a girlfriend are hateful misogynists? No, so it doesn't help to immediately brand them as such.
“Hard for people to get a girlfriend”. People? GET a girlfriend?
The thing is that ALL HUMANS have a hard time finding someone meaningful for them. But only with the misogynistic and immature viewpoint of some men does it become this toxic and dangerous. Blaming some outer system instead of getting a grip of themselves and stop acting like whiny assholes.
If you think 'get a girlfriend' is some deeply misogynistic language indicative of how terrible the patriarchy is, you need to get some perspective.
This was a throwaway joke about struggling to find a girlfriend. There is nothing toxic or dangerous going on here. They're not blaming an outer system. Lots of men do genuinely have problems getting the confidence and self esteem to approach women, calling them whiny assholes is not very helpful.
Tirade against incels elsewhere.
