He's obsessed with social status like women, he has an obsessive interest in fashion brands like a woman, he takes intricate care to decorate his apartment instead of just having the classic TV, couch + playstation, he wastes time each morning with an elaborate skincare routine. He is utterly obsessed with social relations and the relative standing of some people relative to himself, barely seeing the person behind the titles and labels. That's all foid behavior.
His friends all sit around gossiping like women, they're polite and passive aggressive to each other's face but talk shit about each other like women. Patrick Bateman holds pathetic grudges over dumb shit, he feels envy at Paul Allen in a very feminine manner over getting a reservation at Dorsia (what guy actually cares about going to fancy restaurants?).
Take away the serial killing and swap his gender to female and you'll have the average foid in a corporate environment, and I mean that without an ounce of exaggeration.
Yet this guy is looked up to and fetishized by people as a sigma masculine icon?

What incels, chuds, and other neurodivergents consider to be the attractive ideal of their own s*x is not that accurate. They usually just copy paste their own sexuality onto a man and the resulting image becomes a weird mixture of a superficially masculine man with a whole bunch of feminine traits.
Women do something similar tbh, anything that's considered to look 'chic' always seems to be somewhat masculine imo

If they really wanted a masculine role model they have so many to choose from. Like D-FENS from Falling Down. You would have to totally not understand the whole point of the movie to want to be like him, but these are neurodivergents we're talking about here so that's a given.

Christian Bale looked amazing in that film. The vast majority of men would never have the self discipline to be that cut.
@Slippery_Jim love sucking peepee- particularly his.

Never actually saw the movie. What's the deal? Is it actually good or just memeable?

It's okay. 'Soulless corporate man is actually soulless and psychopathic' never seemed that deep to me tho

It's funny. Patrick Bateman is a violent psychopath social climber, except he's entirely indistinct from his coworkers. He's a yuppie loser. Schizoid delusion boiling over, you're not sure if anything he does is real.
During an investigation, for example, the scene is filmed 3 different ways and spliced together. Once where the detective (Dafoe) knew the truth, once where he didn't, once where he wasn't sure.

He was written by a homosexual, just as cultural touchstones FightClub and the Matrix were written by a homosexual and s, respectively.
My theory is that non straight men are just better at wordsmithing and artistic imagery. These appeal to straight men who traditionally can't discuss certain things in a reflective way without being called ghey.
Straight men are better at humor.
