He was written about men's obsession with appearance, fitness, and wealth. Why do people act like this is a new thing? All zoomers did is rebrand it as "looksmaxxing".
>>219176733This was considered strange back then. Now because of xenoestrogens in everything, the average male is basically a woman.
Because boomers and gen xim/xers don't take any accountability for the present state of the world even though they're directly responsible for it
>>219176733Anon, looks maxing is something that can be traced back thousands of years.
>>219176733Everything comes back around. Clavicular is just the Gen Z version of Zyzz
>>219176988what does Patricius Batemanus morning routine look like?
>>219177055Zyzz wasn’t a weird sociopath though.
>>219176733this modern trend in 4chin of feeling superior than new generations amazes me.I hate everyone of you niggers no mater your age and I hate myself too.
>>219177055Your IQ is way too high for this double digit/jewish divisive tactics board. Gtfo
>>219176988I know that. I was using Bateman as an example that predated zoomer culture. The issue is how it seems to be a topic of discussion now likes its something new or somehow connected to the alt-reich.
>>219177102>Zyzz wasn’t a weird sociopath though.Wrong.
>>219177108That's what no actual skills does to terminally online cucks
>>219176921>anons first experience with slurs in literatureTry a book that’s not even using it ironically. Nova Express maybe
>>219177059and what of good paulus allenus
>>219176733
more like gay twink maxing, i don't ever want to look like this faggot
>>219177108It's easier to just make up your own mountain top than put in effort. The jaded dusty old bones of /tv/ unironically have woman brain. That's why everyone is a troon here and comradery is non-existent to boot
>>219176733>>219177281zoomers literally don't understand satire
>>219176733Truly a visionary masterpiece.
>>219176733Not really. He was written as a criticism of the writer's narcissistic father. Why do midwits always attach meaning to things with no supporting evidence?
>>219176733>Why do people act like this is a new thing?No one acts like that
The soilennial creature spent 2ish decades saying be yourself and it doesn't matter what you look/dress like all because their carefully curated media told them they were the resistance/heroes. They cried and cried that people from BB and Zyzz were losers with small dicks Now see them desperately run around and "claim them" as their ownYou see soilennial women desperately try and dress like zoomer girls who stole their 'style' because they couldn't keep their weight down
>>219176733At the gym I can discover my best self.
>>219176733Jack Lelane was in the 50s. People usually grow up with an understanding of the culture only 1-2 gens prior
>>219177968>criticismLol Bateman is just Ellis' self insert and you cannot convince me otherwise.
>>219178542>you cannot convince me otherwiseI hope for your sake that you're joking. I suggest you stop saying such stupid things. Saying things because they sound good is how we got a disastrously low birthrate and insanely high taxes.
>>219176733He was written by a HOMOSEXUALLooksmaxxing is HOMOSEXUAL and spurred on by the effeminzation and hormonal manipulation of young men
>>219177148Well he wasn’t. He actually made a life outside of internet shit
>>219177811A prime example of faggotmaxxing. I'd love to see this sissy bitch on a construction site or a farm for a week.
>>219176733>He was written about men's obsession with appearance, fitness, and wealth. Why do people act like this is a new thing? All zoomers did is rebrand it as "looksmaxxing".No he's a stereotype of yuppie culture you illiterate ahistorical retard.
>>219176733Because it turns out, despite the wailing of some cuck in the 80s and a foid in 2000, all women care about is money and status and looks and power.
>>219176733Because you live in a feminized world that only wants to mock men. I saw an article the other day criticizing “sperm maxing” to improve your fertility, nevermind that everything in the modern world is an endocrine disrupter designed to neuter you. But women get lauded for attempting to extend their fertility as long as possible via egg freezing and IVF treatments, even going so far as to have insurance pay for it. It’s a clown world brother.
>>219177281Interesting, seems mostly true.
>>219178800>I'd love to see this sissy bitch on a construction site or a farm for a week.Bet you would. Naked right? Maybe playing with other "men." haha
>>219177281The replying anon is correct, no one is watching or paying attention to the movie, they just see Christian Bale looking like a chad.
>>219176733>Patrick Bateman's character was written in the 1980sAmerican Psycho was published in 1991
>>219178800And yet he gets WAY more pussy this way. This simple fact will never change, no matter how much you seethe. Women LIKE this shit and, if you do it, you will be drowning in gash. If you refuse, like you, you will be a virgin at 42
>>219178785He lifted himself to death out of a desire to be ‘that guy’
>>219179432Are you him, anything like him, or just a guy who worships him?
>>219178227meds and spend less time online
>>219179472I'm a guy who recognizes that being a "man" in any traditional sense gets you zero pussy. I'm also aware that faggots like that guy are swimming in pussy, because they have money and they're conventionally attractive. I know that that's literally all that matters to women, because despite all their wailing about "real men" and "principles", all they care about is power. Working the field or pulling your weight at a construction site has never gotten anyone pussy. Women are just too vain.
>>219178227You can lift weights without being a performative fag about it
>>219179556Do you yourself get pussy though?
>>219179432>Women LIKE this shit and, if you do it, you will be drowning in gash. If you refuse, like you, you will be a virgin at 42Went a little off the rails here
>>219176893>muh estrogen
>>219179612no, I'm gay.
>>219176733bateman was doing it to because all his colleagues looked the same so he needed to oneup everyone else. modern zoomers do this to get pussy
>>219176733>>219183475to expand on that, both of these things are about competition, but bateman's was about detatched from realitiy, like speedrunning, where he competed only against the same autistic yuppies, while looksmaxing is more down to earth and more "practical" if you can say so but is also more broad since they're competing against all men in general
>>219177120>crossdressers have always existed, why are they now a problem????Like come on bro, are you simply not able to comprehend that just because something existed as an anomaly in the past, doesn't mean that an extreme over representation of it in the present is normal?
>>219178975You can find interviews of BEE saying how Bateman was inspired by his surprise at how metrosexual young men on wall steeet were in the 80s, to the point that he made the clear connection that they were aping the homosexual behavior of the circles he was already familiar with
>>219179432Women like it when you bathe, when you have at least a decent perfume, when you speak well, and when you tell jokes.
>>219176733So what kind of mental illness do you need to stop looking like that and look like a hobo in real life instead riding a fucking tacoma
>>219176733Media workers have to both push status symbols to sell merch, while pretending to criticize status symbols (when had Wall Street never been intertwined with Hollywood esp as the studios merged with telephony/cable, and got bigger and bigger?) It's not an "average" man with reasonable grooming, it's the narcissism/selfishness of wallstreet "bro" -- one that Bret Easton Ellis sees less as a creature of an industry/system than someone who won't throw him a fuck cos "represshun". Looking to anyone in bed with corporations for "critique/analysis" of corporations and corporatism is FUTILE.
>>219186343>one that Bret Easton Ellis sees less as a creature of an industry/system than someone who won't throw him a fuck cos "represshun"Truth nuke
>>219178227There's a bizarre amount of effort they put into fighting the idea of straight men being attractive and taking care of their appearance
Millenials called it being "metrosexual" and made fun of it.
>>219176733Being a genuine autistic tryhard is a little endearing. What’s not endearing is millennials who are so obsessed with “being themselves,” that it wraps back around to following social norms religiously. Horseshoe theory and all that. That’s how you end up with bojack horseman.
>>219187333Checked
>>219176733>>219177120Every generation has to go through the same shit their own way.
>>219189582This. Shame that gen failure (x) and millenials couldn't figure out such basic truths. Also, trillbys are making a comeback in 2030. Screenshot this post
