Maybe I misunderstood it but I got the impression that Bateman believes he’s a serial killer, but he’s not the most reliable so it could all be fantasy. Maybe I read too much into it. But yeah American Psycho is profoundly misogynistic and I get the impression Brett Easton Ellis is too
Okay, but it’s not about the nuance of the book itself, it’s again, that we all know Bateman as a serial killer for the purpose of the meme. Eg when we talk about Frankenstein, the readers know we mean Frankenstein’s monster but everyone just refers to him as Frankenstein himself.
Yes, for the sake of the meme, they used Bateman as an inflammatory example, on purpose, to trigger people sensitive to the topic. This MO has been around for decades, and you fell for it like it’s your first time on the internet.
That does nothing to negate that everyone knows Bateman as a serial killer, and your bad faith appeal to emotion fallacy is pathetic.
Is this your first time on the internet, that you are unaware people can critically think, have opinions, and write them on a discussion board about an original post? That’s the entire format of Lemmy lol
But nah, you just want to be a shithead to women which is what this is actually about. Go fuck yourself.

i dont think it’s misogynist to write a book about characters that are misogynistic, especially since the point is to criticize them
