You mean Baitmen

Bateman is modern man. One must utterly hide their personality and true self, and replace it with an eternally concerned, empathetic character to fit in enough with the herd to gain power.

Not Bateman, more like BasedMan if you ask me.

Just out of curiosity have you read The Dice Man?
>>
>>7982635
Nope, what is it?
>>
>>7982381
No. The superfluous Man is too angsty to work at a white shoe firm like Bateman does. I'd say Bateman's brother, Sean, is more of a superfluous man.

>>7982643
It's about a psychiatrist who uses a die to make decisions.

>>7982381
Well, Bateman is described as being fundamentally 'empty' because he's a psychopath and all, so it follows that his surface 'personality' is an assimilation of the 80's yuppie narcissism that was rampant. So yes, he's superfluous in the sense that his exterior is a fabrication.
