American Psycho and Joker are both movies the average chud loves and its not because they want to be like the protagonist. It's because they feel about aspect of themselves is being represented by the character on screen. With American Psycho they might feel like Bateman they wear a mask to fit in with society, that they are putting on an act to be liked and respected, that they in some ways are hiding their true selves. Maybe its how Bateman is never really truely scene by anyone and only ever seen at a surface level, or how Bateman is just clawing desperately for status because he wants to be seen as better than others in someway(why he gets so hung up over those business cards, or hates Paul Allen).

There is also just the aspect the movie is really good.

Now its also possible that chuds may hate women or gays for ascribed patterns of behaviors. Things more based on action and less on identity. Kind of like how some women who have been raped may just hate men altogether after the experience because now in her head men do that, but she may still love things created by men because there is separation from creator and creation.
