you guys may not have noticed but patrick bateman is an unreliable narrator
all the evidence of his crimes disappears with no explanation, he stabs a child to death in public without any problems, an atm machine tells him to feed it a cat, he gets away with a public killing spree (including the murder of several police officers) without taking any measures to avoid being caught, he blows up a car by shooting at it, it's implied that he didn't even kill paul owen/allen, etc
as such all of the feats on the profile are dubious as they are told through the lens of bateman's extremely warped view of the world around him
how do we deal with this? do we just put a note at the end, stating that patrick's profile is based on the assumption that everything in american psycho was real? do we put possibly ratings on everything? should the profile even stay up?
also, what the **** is the canon on this profile? there are feats from like four different continuities listed on the profile, including one in which bateman is this eldritch reality warping metaphysical monstrosity. the rest of the profile is seemingly a combination of the movies and books. so yeah, the profile should be decomposited, if we’re even keeping it.
