If everyone were as smart and gently empathetic as you and me and tranny mcgee, we could all say whatever we want and nobody would get offended. But we live in a society where you can't even publish an article about bitches without some bitch piping up to say "not all assertive women". No shit, not all assertive women! If it doesn't apply to you, just shut your mouth and let the rest of us finish reviewing Captain Marvel for the Guardian. Only this time, I was the assertive woman interrupting the film critic. So I'm going to let her finish.

In Joker, Joaquin Phoenix’s unhinged Arthur Fleck is in every sense a loser – and perhaps in all but self-identification, an incel. He is friendless aside from his mother, works as a party clown, and his paralysing tendency to burst into peals of maniacal laughter unnerves everyone he meets. And when, like Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver (obsessed by Betsy), he becomes romantically intrigued by Sophie (Zazie Beetz), a pretty girl he barely knows, his fantasies go into overdrive.

If this woman didn't call Travis Bickle a repressed homosexual 40 years ago, it's only because she wasn't born yet. I guess I can't grasp the sophisticated nuance between using the word incel to dehumanize an entire type of person, and using words like chad or stacie to do the same thing. But I haven't really scrutinized incel culture, so let's do that now.




This image is like the incel Rosetta Stone. If I were to look for these archetypes in my favourite straight movie, The Poseidon Adventure, I would probably peg Gene Hackman as the chad, Red Buttons as the virgin, and Ernest Borgnine as the everyman with a whore for a wife. But if you remember how that movie played out, Gene Hackman ended up giving his life to close a steam valve (just like his hero, Jesus Christ), while Red Buttons climbed to freedom with his arm around an uncomfortably young blonde. In a Neil LaBute movie, there would've been an epilogue where Red Buttons showed up on her doorstep afterwards, screaming "YOU OWE ME". In the Company of Poseidon Adventures, maybe.
