This is framed as "good news" in the article because of pushback. That's like saying that the sexually predatory behavior at Activision-Blizzard was good news because there was, eventually, pushback to it. :what-the-hell:

American Psycho wasn't supposed to be an instruction manual
It's ironic or something so it's okay. Just like /pol/ nazis were ironic nazis. :galaxy-brain:
It's like bros who like Glengarry Glenn Ross because they like Alec Baldwin's character.
I know several unironic fans of the character, and they even use the "steak knives" speech as their personal motivator to be "better businessmen." :desolate:
Never seen the movie, is it worth watching?
Yeah it’s great. The main character is supposed to come across as kinda pathetic
As an aside, going back to American Psycho, it really is disturbing that some people that I know in real life really do admire and emulate Patrick Bateman and completely missed the narrative implication that he was a pathetic empty nothing.
reading the book should be a requirement to speak on American Psycho. it's literally pages and pages of Bateman going :so-true: about the brands people own and not giving a shit about being mistaken for somebody else
yes, it's a great character drama/study about masculinity and office culture
