Joker leaves ‘Joker’ sign outside cinema barring ‘guys who look like they’ve never had sex’

Ahead of the release of Joker there was a growing debate over the impact the film would make once it finally hit cinemas.

Joaquin Phoenix’s depiction of an alienated and mentally ill Arthur Fleck, and the similarities the character has to those who have committed mass shootings in the United States and members of the incel community, has provoked major concerns that it could inspire actual violence.

With the film now actually in cinemas, one comedian decided to riff on these discussions by putting up a sign outside Los Angeles theater ArcLight Cinemas that read, “We are enforcing a strict, ‘NO GUYS WHO LOOK LIKE THEY’VE NEVER HAD SEX,’ POLICY, for tonight’s showings of Joker.”
