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?

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.
