Incels are people so obsessed with their inability to get laid that they define themselves by it. I didn't get that vibe from Joker at all. If anything the Joker seemed asexual and not interested in sex.

Edit: I can see how people might think that the movie encourages people who feel rejected by society to act violently. This is the danger anytime you tell a story from the villain's perspective. I still don't see anything specifically Incel about the Joker though.
