686571, I mean, Patrick Bateman's pretty pathetic and loser-ish Posted by Marauder21, Wed Oct-08-14 09:54 AM
I was being tongue in cheek with the whole college party thing. But people have been drawn to some of the most awful characters as someone they can relate to, and it's not anything new.
You wouldn't think a guy in dumb leather pants that's just a manifestation of what a deeply troubled/schizophrenic loser thinks is cool would become a cultural icon/role model for a bunch of men. And yet, it did. Generally immature, assholish men, but still men. I wouldn't be shocked to see immature, assholish women adopting the Cool Girl monologue as their "space monkey."
I do think in general, women tend to not embrace psychopaths as often as men (though what does that say about men?)
