I wasn't able to appreciate the movie on first viewing. Then I realized Bateman was basically a bottle of pink hair dye away from being an antifa. His vapid, lifeless existence of banal trivialities driving him insane. Single, childless, with a no-show job. He'd completely isolated himself from any meaningful experiences that he became obsessed and overly emotional about the most insignificant things. His attempt to have a real human connection trough music was constantly rebuffed because he was surrounded by similar empty people. So he turned to drugs, degenerate sex and violence in attempt to feel human. Only difference between him and an SJW is that he's attractive and focuses on vanity rather than racial social signaling. This explains why he cared so much about fashion.
