    That is literally placing the blame on the woman

    “If she weren’t such a gold digger, she’d want me”

    The whole, “they want the wrong thing” is incredibly common in incels.

      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.
