Feels like Fight Club to me where there is a subset of young men who like it, not recognizing it's a parody. Then there's people who get it and like it as a comedy. And the obviousness of which is which is not always clear, so you will never see me talking about whether I like it or not because it invites the first type.
Big overlap with the "I liked Rage Against The Machine, until they started getting political" crowd.
The not getting that you’re being called out for loving the violence and fascism part of the movie reminds me of Verhoven films like “Starship Troopers” and “Robocop”.
People who think you're supposed to like Bateman are people you don't need to associate with, its a great litmus test
