i'm imagining it. the content doesn't change, so the meaning of the meme doesn't change (fun without commitment). the only thing that could cause someone to label it as “incel” is, ironically, the reader's own biases about women.

my points still stand.

Guy that's mad because he's been flirting with a woman and wants to get with her but she explains to him that she doesn't wanna be with him but just wants him to want her.

It's not how I read it initially, but hear me out...

Wants to get in a relationship but can't? Check. Blames the woman for it? Check

Incel's perspective checks out, imo.

again, this "interpretation" only works if the reader already has certain biases about women - specifically that women owe men a monogamous, serious, long term relationship, and wanting something casual, fun, noncommittal makes them "bad" somehow. which is the real misogynistic perspective.

and the meme doesn’t blame the woman in any way at all. the woman just doesn’t want a relationship & wants some fun without commitment. that’s it. anything else is just the reader projecting their own biases.
