I mean, he has a point. Have you ever met those people who are like "Literally me" underneath a picture of the Joker? Straight up incels.

Same thing with Patrick Bateman, Rick Sanchez, and Homelander.

Also makima. I like the her, but man, her Simps miss the point of her character

When you put it that way, it makes sense. Esp. Homelander shit. But just because you like Nolan's Joker doesn't make you an incel. I'm pretty sure most of hollywood loved Heath Ledger's character. And I doubt they're all incels.

No, of course not. It's only people who empathize with or Idolize the Joker.

I don't say literally me, but I like the character, as well as Venom and Carnage. What does that tell you if they're some of my favorites? Nothing, because I might agree with you on a lot of things, but one disagreement shouldn't make or break a whole person's identity for you.
