>the E-Girl is determinately negated by the presence and quantity of simps and simpbux, and the absence of physical/social proximity with and to simps
>Yet if she snares Chad to simp for her in person, he performatively ceases thereupon to be Chad
>the Simp pays not for content, but for fear of lack of content icons of idolatrous onanism more simps = higher incentive to E-Girl to remain an E-Girl.
>Chad is ever in peril of a surfeit of content, and becoming a Simp without the consolation of a refund (or worse, financial liability to the E-Girl).
>from the aspect of eternity, this is all necessary and good

OCD. Intrusive thoughts. Does enough drugs to start questioning whether he does any of it or not. The Negative Infinite of atomized extremely narcissistic subjectivity and irony. People around Bateman are just as dissociative and incapable of distinguishing between acts, lies, and masks-- self-interest and advantage reign supreme. Inversion of picrel. Everyone involved if they have an inkling of insight on the situation would will the death and destruction of everyone and every thing-- that's the only conception of freedom they have in that condition. A hive of Batemans is the logical outcome of such a state of affairs, only restrained by the mere inconvenience occasioned by the act (cleanup & disposal).

Then there's Ellis recanting interview claims about it being about his alcoholic big dick sales guy father. It's not capitalism critique or satire per se, rather: his ennui hobnobbing around New York as a nouveau riche absurdly successful precocious novelist; homosexual lust manifesting as desire to rape for lack of insight into the sexual preferences of other men-- the secret agent syndrome of the closeted fag, and the allure of seduction - or forcing - of the 'unconsciously' heteroflexible into recognition of the former for what he is actually (gay anal in the ass appreciator) and what they actually are (sexually available for gay anal). Take every murder and replace it with confabulated rape fantasy and there you have it.
