"You like Huey Lewis and the News?"
— Patrick Bateman


Patrick Batemen is the protagonist of American Psycho.

Bio[edit | edit source]

Superficially a stereotypical yuppie working in the financial sector, Bateman leads a double life as a homicidally narcistic sociopath. Which admittedly might be a job requirement for a stock broker. But where the latter merely ruin companies and destroy peoples' lives for financial gain, Patrick has an unhealthy obsession with killing people in a direct instead of an indirect fashion. As such, hobbies of his include chopping up business partners with a fireaxe to the tune of his favorite band, or shoving oversized rats into a prostitute's vagina after previously widening it with acid.

Bateman is an interesting case in as much as that he is actually self-aware. He not only knows he is catastrophically insane, but also knows his insanity is getting worse. He flatly admits that he is wearing a "mask of sanity", and that it is "about to slip". At the same time, he is pathologically incapable of actually feeling remorse over his actions; at one point killing a child in public for the plain purpose of checking if it would bring joy to him. That it did not had less to do with him feeling guilty, and more with the murder feeling unsatisfying.

In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]

Patrick Bateman fought in 8chanmania XXII. He made a mess of George Constanza and put Funky Kong on the list of endangered species, but then got done in by Game Over Grunty. There's something poetic to it - both characters having attractive physical appearances that hide something very ugly behind it.
