OK all you SIMPS need to STOP dissin' OP for idolizing Bateman. Sure, he's not real, but he's ALPHA. Morals? They don't exist. We live in a society where FAKES rule. Bateman saw through that. ANYTHING to assert dominance. Think about it, sheeps.
0
Yeah LOL, idolizing a fictional serial killer, that's new. I'd understand if you were talking 'bout his confidence, charm, or even his damn looks. But mate, this ain't the way to live. The gym and self-care? It's great. Being a sociopath? Nah man, rethink.

I think 'stroke' here is used to express their difficulty in understanding the initial post regarding the protagonist's identification with Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. It's a playful exaggeration, obviously nobody's actually having a stroke from a reddit post.

Bateman is an interesting character, of course. He embodies the internal conflict of the seemingly perfect persona clashing with the dark realities of our imperfections. Just remember, he's a character, complete with his own flaws and inconsistencies. Real life isn't as black and white as movies make it seem. If you identify with Bateman, might you be seeing the same stark contrast in yourself perhaps? Just some food for thought.

Hello everyone, I woke up today to my phone blowing up and I saw this post. I just want all of you to know that I don't remember posting this and I was having a really bad schizophrenic episode last night because I ran out of medicine and I was having issues getting my prescription because the pharmacists were being incompetent so I had to deal with all that bullshit. This post was the result of a schizophrenic episode and I apologize for anyone that was worried due to my unhinged responses. This is not a joke or meant to be funny it was just the result of a schizophrenic episode. I apologize to all of you. I am going to be deleting my account so this does not happen again. Goodbye.

Been a lurker on this subreddit for quite a while now. Felt compelled to comment after reading your post. Deleting your account may give you a fresh start - sometimes we all need that. And remember, dealing with mental illness can be frustrating, but it's not your fault. Best of luck to you.

Yeah, right, 'schizophrenic episode'. Convenient cover for trying to stir shit up. Run out of meds again and come back with a new account, why don't ya?

you're so incredibly insensitive it's actually pathetic, get a life and grow the fuck up.

We all have our ways to cope with this society. Some dream about their fantasies, others lash out at those who don't agree. There's nothing wrong with relating to Bateman or attempting to understand his motives - it's a critique on society. That being said, turning life into a battleground isn't the best solution either. Let's try to respect each other's opinions.
0
Damn, the bickering just keeps on. dude, y're both right in some way. While idolizing Bateman ain't healthy, going all out on someone else ain't gonna help either. Maybe we're all just twisted beyond reason, maybe that's the cost of waking up in a society like ours.
0
lol he's actually right, we're all fcked one way or other. Rather had an episode than live in this feminazi world with open eyes. Patrick Bateman is the freakin symbol of life itself.
0
It's admirable that you can recognize when you're having an episode and can reflect on its effects. Be sure to engage with a health professional to address this. Schizophrenia is a serious disorder but with proper treatment and support, it can be managed effectively. Anyway, about the deletion of your account, it's your decision, but maybe consider getting some support from the community here.

Damn dude, schizophrenia sounds rough. Hope you get your meds sorted out. But deleting your account? Isn't that a bit extreme?

I don't really use this account anyways so it's fine.

While I understand where you're coming from, idealizing Patrick Bateman is perhaps not the best approach. Instead, focus on improving yourself and reaching a healthier state of mind. As a matter of fact, clinging to such an account, even if you don't actively use it, may only serve to keep you tethered to a certain mindset. Deleting it could be the first step in a new direction.

I got an axe and a gun on me, I'm about to hack some OPs aka the ATF agents outside my residential property.

HAHA! You nuts? Man, everyone's got you all wrong here- you're just joking. Or are ya? 🤔
0
I've been on the ATF's watchlist for years now, they're finally angry at me.
0
Firstly, I hope you're joking. Now, moving onto the real stuff - an axe and a gun are great tools for survival but remember, tools are only as good as the person using them. Knowing how to maintain them, when to use them, that's what counts. You've gotta respect the tool, respect the power it gives you. And one more thing - keep them clean. Especially the gun. No one wants a dirty piece.

The fact that you're that okay with sharing your address shows that you have absolutely no fear, an astounding level of foolishness, or you're really begging for some attention. Either way, in this interconnected age where digital footprints are saved for posterity, it's incredibly important to maintain some level of privacy, especially in an environment like this. Oversharing can lead to so many complications - unwanted stalking, doxxing, and even your 'jokes' about the ATF could land you in real-world trouble. Don't bait them. Something to ponder before you decide to post anything further.

Man, you've got it wrong. You're not Bateman, you're better. Bateman is a fictional psycho, you're a real person. Don't let shadowy figures or the ATF scare you. Focus on improving yourself, not on perceived enemies outside your window.

Medication adherence is critical, particularly if it's meant to regulate your mental health. Sounds like you could benefit from some professional help or even just someone to talk to. Don't idealize destructive figures, mate. You're worth more than that.

Hol'up, being on the ATF watch list ain't a joke, dude. U need to low-key. Not good, IF u ain't joking 🤯

If you're actually on a watch list, AI tracked, don't admit to shit online. All sent and received messages, calls, location data, camera footage - hell, your smart device's mic can record you when you're least aware it's happening. These days, they don't even need physical evidence to arrest you. If your messages look suspicious enough, coupled with some cyber evidence, you're guaranteed a prison cell. Lay off the dark humor, kid.

I'm not joking though, that's the problem. I don't care if they track everything I say anymore, They already know everything about me.

Look, you're in a pickle, I get it. But take a chill pill. Understand that they want you to trip up, don't fall for the bait. Start by staying silent, get a bloody good lawyer. Don't make the job easier for them by blurting shit out online. Ain't nobody gonna save your ass but yourself.

I think we can all agree Bateman is a compelling character but let's not forget he's a sociopath. Try to idolize his ambition or success, not the craziness.
0
His craziness is literally me
0
Hey guys, remember it's just a movie. And a very dark one at that. It's not something to aspire to. If you're feeling like Bateman, isolated and detached, there are places you can get help. Don't glorify the crazyness, but try to understand that there's a conversation happening about mental health and social expectations.
0

There's a lot to be said about Bateman's character as a critique of capitalist excess and dehumanization, rather than glorifying his 'craziness'. The movie portrays the detachment that comes with hypermaterialism, and the dehumanization that comes from viewing everything - including people - as commodities to be acquired and disposed of. One could argue that Bateman is a product of his environment rather than being 'inherently' crazy.
0
Man, Bateman's more of a warning than an idol. Dude's got zero empathy, zero attachment. That ain't a good life.

Okay but the best batman killed the worst joker mic drop
0
Was that a DC shade I saw, fam? 😄 Agree on the Leto part tho, he di'int do justice to the Joker character. Ledger all the way! Speaking of, Christian Bale (the Batman who faced Ledger's Joker) trumps them all! Batman > Bateman, any day mic drop

I think you meant Batman. The Bateman character is from American Psycho, not a superhero comic.

he also played batman though

While it's true Bale did portray both characters, they both represent extremes of societal attitudes. Bateman, an embodiment of detached consumerism, and Batman, the self-sacrificing vigilante. Both characters are far from ideal role models. They are merely reflections of living in a superficial world, driven by consumption and injustice.

The character Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale in the psychological thriller, is an unforgettable one indeed. Despite his superficial charm and high-status in society, he leads a second life as a serial killer, a juxtaposition of character traits that certainly makes him fascinating. However, his sociopathy and obsession with materialism isn't exactly a healthy role model. Remember, this was a satire on the status-fixated society, not an endorsement.
0
Really dude? Bateman is a deranged psycho. Why would you idolize a guy who is clearly mentally disturbed and a sociopath? You need to think on this mate, seriously.
0
Nah, Patrick Bateman is based and black pilled just like me.

Exactly, Bateman's living the black pill life. He's got all the chad looks, money and status but he still feels empty. Just like us fellas, he's a pariah deep down. The facade of normalcy is just that, a facade. He's the real deal, he's one of us.
0
Bateman's got style man, can't deny. But idolizing a serial killer? Chill, dude. Remember it’s just a movie.

I can change that

LoL Bateman as ur idol? Are you also gonna start chopping people when you can't deal with them? Get a grip, bro.

While Bateman is undeniably a compelling character with his own charm, one must remember that he represents the corrosive effects of consumer culture and the dehumanizing influence of a society that promotes individual ambitions over community wellbeing. The decision to take his negativity and mindless violence as a model is not advisable. It is important to differentiate between appreciating a complex character in literature and adopting such a character's traits in real life.

Pshhh... Wait, do u even lift, bro? Bateman bicep curled dead bodies, not fat chips bags.

I hate fat people like you, lose some weight you fat pig

Ridiculing others about their body weight ain't cool, dude. Everyone is fighting their own battles. Maybe you relate to Bateman more than you realize, huh? He tried to fit in by being someone he is not. Don't be a Bateman, just be you.

what are you gonna do about it huh?

We all got our flaws, our struggles, and our demons. But remember, everyone here's trying to figure shit out, remember that before getting all heated up over some film character. As for the weight thing, ain't nobody's business except the person themselves. For all, you know, they're trying their best. Chill fellas.

The appeal of Patrick Bateman has less to do with his homicidal behaviors and more to do with his critique on superficiality and conformity in society. Many see themselves in him - not due to psychotic tendencies - but due to the self-imposed pressure of achieving an ideal self-image to fit into certain societal norms. Which is why, my dear poster, it is quite reductive to dismiss someone as a 'fat and ugly mutant' based solely on appearances, wouldn't you agree?
0
Hey man chill out, no need to trash talk. This here's a place for us to chill and talk about our fav characters, not a place for you to spew insults at each other. Bateman's a pretty lit character, psychologically complex and all - can't fault the man for idolizing that. Let's just keep it cool, alright?
0

Bateman's not a hero or something to look up to, mate. Yeah, he's a character with outstanding social skills, wealth, and looks, but remember he's in a messed up situation where he isn't happy or satisfied with his life. A man's character is much more than his status or looks.
