Adding to what I said about the emotional state of patrick bateman being permanent: he says in the end of the film "I find no catharsis". Thats because he cannot reconcile his situation (hes psycho). So he is stuck, by his own mental disability/disorder in perpetual chaos and suffering, torture/hell, misunderstanding, hatred, disgust. I know how that felt with me, so I imagine if I was in that state 24/7 wherever I went, whomever I know/have known, I would have gone mad. So he holds up very well, imo. It truly drives you towards insanity, no joke. Hes in a perpetual cycle of being unable to reconcile his feelings towards society and the world around him. This is a keystone in growing up (although suboptimal for modern state of affairs, but nonetheless you will always experience this when growing up in any society). Thats another reason why people relate to him. Most men nowadays hate the liberalism, cuckoldry, faggotry around them. They relate to Bateman but Bateman doesn't necessarily hate the politics that much. He does hate what he would perceive as immoral or perhaps weak and under himfurthermore, he has an identity crisis afaik because hes conforming to a society, in a fake way, society which he hates the most out of all things (he literally lives in the belly of the beast NYC. You have to live there if you want to be super successful, or as successful as he is. Which is the irony - a bunch of successful people, want to be successful but in doing so, need to live in a city they most despise. Babylon). Being fake, identity crisis and conforming to a society you hate is pretty common and a lot of (socially successful) people go through the same process but to varying degrees. I went through that twice in my early and late childhood. It can only be characterized as pure hatred of everyone and everything, not being able (or struggling) to answer or define who you are. Not healthy at all though, but it passes too, as you reconcile your situation. For him though, hes a psycho, so it's permanent. A big part of that process is understanding how other people feel too (empathy). You can only hate society if you don't understand why it is not the way you ideally would want it to be. So, in a way, its kind of childish and immature (they make fun of patrick for this reason as well, he is sort of portrayed as a manchild too. Same with clavicular etc and the modern man in general). To a very small degree, I empathize with Patrick Bateman. We all do, even though hes a mockery of the modern man (us). So, hes an icon and an early looksmaxer.
