"Reddit/twitter love to mock right wingers "missing the point," of American Psycho, Starship Troopers, Rage against the machine, the boys, etc. But male groups thrive on roasting each other."
"I'm not saying that guys should all be living in squalor on a mattress on the floor of a room strewn with cum-stained socks... but this sleek, American Psycho-esque neoliberal techie aesthetic is creepy and betrays the vacant soul of the type of man who would choose to live in such an environment."
"dude is essentially an incel who lived in looksmaxxing forums for years and has now become the real life american psycho."
"I live in my parents' $3 million brownstone in Park Slope, on the second floor. My name is Meg Goldenshwartz. I'm 23 years old. I believe in checking my privilege, and a vegan diet and never exercising (because big is beautiful)."
"Yeah I'm uncultured and obviously hurting physically/emotionally but the funniest scene so far has been Patrick loudly and angrily slipping a coaster under the bottle of Apollinaris his secretary brings in for the detective."
"American Psycho is about: instead of killing people, kill them with kindness instead. Because being a psychopath isn't for cool kids, it's foolish."
"Call Me By Your Name meets American Psycho and everyone is young and beautiful."
"Just don't recommend Bret Easton Ellis, as I've already read his entire bibliography front to back (it's how I first heard of Ottessa, after she cited American Psycho as inspiration for MYORAR)."
"American Psycho book club Chapter 1"
"I used to love reading as a kid but come puberty and it became more and more of a struggle for me to get through anything. I think the last thing I truly read for myself was American Psycho when I was 14-15 after watching the movie, and then it was mostly just whatever I needed during English."
"that letter to alexa chung is imprinted in my brain next to the american psycho and gone girl monologue."
"Anna has been posting ig stories of her reading Ellis' novel American Psycho."
"some novels ive read and liked were three body problem trilogy, the beast, house of leaves, devil in white city, snow crash, american psycho."
"She keeps talking about how cool Patrick Bateman is, 🚩?"
"I just finished American Psycho, haven't seen the movie yet. I came away from that book seeing it as an incredibly prescient critique of the social media age and Bateman as a proto-blackpilled man. All that's changed between then and now is that we *all* get to experience the wonders of Manhattan hi"
"While rewatching American Psycho this weekend (one of my favorite films, but it's been a while), I couldn't manage to escape the meme culture surrounding every aspect of the film. Bateman posting has been a staple on /tv/ for years, and has recently crossed into the internet mainstream in some ways "
"Any more books like this? I've already read American Psycho. I wanna give contemporary lit a chance and this can't be the only good fiction to have come out recently."
"Went to a trivia night at a local bar, one of the questions was who directed I Shot Andy Warhol and American Psycho. A group of zoomers answered "some misogynistic asshole." Both were directed by Mary Harron."
"In the 1980s, the wall street yuppie was the quintessential vision of success in America. The lifestyle was catered to by a shitload of brands, and it wasn't until the 2000 movie that the whole aesthetic was deconstructed. Do you think now that the tech-bro is the new version of the yuppie that we'l"

"I just finished American Psycho, haven't seen the movie yet. I completely misunderstood why Patrick Bateman has become such a modern icon... I came away from that book seeing it as an incredibly prescient critique of the social media age and Bateman as a proto-blackpilled man"
"There is an idea of a Mr Beast. Some kind of abstraction. But there is no real me. Only an entity. Something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can watch my videos and buy my feastables, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable, I simply am not there."

"I bought the book about a year ago and I really enjoyed reading through it. I've read it twice. Mostly the chapters where Patrick describes his day to day life, trying so hard to impress you with the things he buys and the suits he wears. Really dig the 'ugly side of capitalism' motifs and how the c"
"Like American Psycho>!, people seem to spend a lot of their time guessing whether the kills happened or not, missing the point that these are really an extraneous part of the work"
