They do realize he's meant to represent everything wrong with consumerism and corporate America, right?
It's because he has a slightly better haircut than Marcus Halberstram.
>>83641760>They do realize he's meant to represent everything wrong with consumerism and corporate America, right?Yes. They realize. They enjoy the irony
>>83641760He's successful, he's sociable, he's handsome, and he's self aware. Everything that zoomers strive to be. The only downside is the murdering.
The book was infinitely better than the movie. I hate you all so much
>>83641760This is wrong sort of.The point of Patrick Bateman is that he's repressed. He actually hates the world that he's in but feels powerless to fight against it. This manifests as him having crazy violent fantasies.The story overall represents the evil of consumerism and the corporate world but Bateman represents the ordinary person who gets swallowed up by it.
>>83641799Patrick Bateman is not a normal person.
>>83641801Well as he presented no I guess he isn't. But the point is he was made that way by the world he lives in.He is innately "normal" in the sense that he gradually goes insane as a result of living in an insane world.
Because he's 27 and in mergers and accusations.
>>83641832The point is that he's absolutely fucking insane but in the business class people like this are completely normalized.
>>83641788>The book was infinitely better than the movieReally ? I should check this book.
>>83641760Because he's a mentally ill loser (relatable), but he's good looking and rich/powerful so he serves as a power fantasy.
>>83641760I just assume it's because they think hes hotstraight men dont obsess over other men like that
>>83641953at least read the part when he spazzes out in a jew restaurant it's hilarious
>>83641955If he's good looking, rich and powerful then how is he a loser?
>>83641775>zoomers have the capacity to think
>>83642039He's totally detached from reality, hates himself and everyone around him, and lives a completely meaningless life
>>83642049you know that we're people too, right?
>>83641760I idolize people like Norman Borlaug, Marie Curie, MLK Jr, Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai, Greta Thunberg, and so on. Women still prefer to go for the alpha hypermasculine trad chads who idolize Patrick Bateman instead. What's the deal with women's unfair standards?
