What it means

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman sits in a dark office wearing a suit and red tie. The joke is about suppressing or avoiding healthy emotional expression by reflexively saying “it is what it is,” framed as an absurdly intense inner urge. This reaction meme is used when someone copes with feelings through stoicism, resignation, or emotional detachment.
