The book and movie are in large part a critique of yuppie culture and the rampant capitalist 80s. Patrick’s status in the company is the result of nepotism. His entire life is the result of nepotism. Patrick commits crimes, but his dad is waiting in the wings bribing whoever needs a bribe to cover it up because he is just like Patrick and also doesn’t want the family name dragged through the mud. Patrick’s expertise isn’t the result of massive personal self-education, nor is it in his head. He was raised by someone just like him who only bred to have a new interesting toy to play with.

Think about it in late 2010s terms: an ultra rich man who inherited his wealth and became a major player in his own right obsessed with power and control who flagrantly violates the law with no punishment. It’s not fantasy or delusion, it’s the realty of wealth.

This seems to be a theme of a lot of [=WMGs=] for AmericanPsycho, but this is more general.
A big theme of AmericanPsycho is that very few recognise him at all, and several confuse him with other people or refer to Patrick Bateman as a different person. For instance, at the end, his lawyer congratulates him on the prank but notes that it was a flawed joke because no one would believe that dorky Patrick Bateman would be capable of murder; he seems to be referring to Patrick Bateman as a different person. Assuming the above two [=WMGs=] are correct and the main character is quite insane - literally! - this implies that he's dissociating beyond the point of doing crazy things and ''truly doesn't know who he is'' and simply believes himself to be Bateman.

Every single character is exactly like Bateman, and commits dozens of murders. Every time they sit down to talk to another character, they confess their sins, but all of them are too self involved to hear them. Bateman is simply one of many.

Think about it. He's unnoticed, easily forgotten and even when it would be in one's best interest to pay attention, nobody ever does. This is the exact effect that a perception filter gives you. You might want to focus on what it is on, but you just can't. Your mind will ignore it against it's will. This has been proven with the TARDIS, Torchwood's elevator and with TARDIS Key necklaces. Due to some unnatural reason, Patrick Bateman was born with one that instinctively turns on when it's needed. This is what allows him to confess to crimes, make outrageous amounts of noise and not bother anyone and do things that would normally draw attention.
