June is also men's mental health awareness month but you know what society pays more attention to

the thing is, men’s mental health month is in november

You're thinking of "movember" which is a month to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

no

Does that mean we can expect even more epic high-quality Biden memes from Trump's fan club come November? Nice. Raising awareness of prostate cancer is commendable. I'll toast a taco to that any day.

☕🔥💪💯

"Self-reported" though? 🤔👀

Conservatives lack self-awareness, so that might be a contributing factor.

You can do both.

Exactly

A few gay men might also suffer with men's mental health struggles so there could even be some overlap tbf. 🤔

Ironic.

Bret Easton Ellis (author of American Psycho) is gay.

Interesting.

Unfortunately, I fail to see the irony...perhaps the MrMcMemer account can enlighten this thread?

It shouldn't be that hard to see.

Patrick Bateman is commonly used as a masculine ideal. The story was originally meant to condemn people like Patrick for being nothing other than insecure, rich, petty businessmen, but people look up to him and his lifestyle. Using Patrick Bateman to flick away a pride flag is ironic because his character is heavily suggested to be gay as well.

Definitely open for interpretation.

However, I see his actions are driven by a desire to fit in and maintain his social status, rather than any specific sexual orientation.

But, neither of us are necessarily wrong, and I do firmly believe that, that specific detail surrounding his sexual orientation was deliberately left out...to be open for interpretation.

That's the point. He doesn't have sex with women because he wants to have sex with women; he has sex to overpower others, which makes him feel more secure and in control. His being gay, or at least bi, is heavily suggested after several confrontations with male coworkers. (Both in the movie and the book)

There's also a possibility that he's asexual since he doesn't ever enjoy sex with women.

Anyway, there's a weird trend with younger Gen Z men (the alpha male culture people) who see him as some ideal/peak masculinity. In reality, he's just an entitled, insecure shell of a human being.

Again, his sexual orientation is never revealed which leaves it open for interpretation.

Asexual?...sure.

I definitely don't see his character as "some ideal/peak masculinity, but I do see a lot of humorous expression (emotions) for memes/gifs.
