Him being a relatively average now/handsome then kinda man is how he got people to go with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardcore1996 1,607 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I feel as if its no so much glamorizing as it is sensationalizing. Idk it’s a tricky subject. There’s nothing wrong with making docuseries about serial killers, they’re a part of history and usually involve and pay the victim’s families for their interviews, etc. And yes it can be argued there are soo many movies based off far worse people in history (how many movies about WWII are there), but it’s not like they’re painting Hitler or whoever in a sympathetic light, which is what I fear could happen with this but I guess we’ll see. Idk it feels weird that already rich actors/producers/writers whoever are making bank because a deranged man did…well what we all know Dahmer did idk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flippy 11,585 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 I will be watching. He honestly did such awful things and parts of the trailer made my stomach turn, but I’m ready for it!

Charmz 3,871 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 As I get older, I can’t watch things like this. Too real for me. I prefer horror with a dash of fantasy (ghosts, witches, etc.) Always & Forever, 🧚🏻♂️🦉CHARMZ🦉🧚🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are already people who are attracted to Dahmer or have some sort of fantasy about him. This'll just add to that, I fear. Also, depicting the monstrous things he did is also kind of a problem? Imagine how triggering that would be to see if that was your son/brother/partner being brutalized. This isn't American Horror Story or w/e. These were real people with full lives and people who cared about them. If anything this will make people watch a docu about him and discover the real victims. Also just like the Sharon tate murders, I guess directors, writers, write about cult leaders, dictators, murderers, cannibals that were the most known because these are our people. These are humans somehow and yet it seems impossible or unreal that as humans this is what we are capable of. It just opens a brand new conversation too. Dahmer was a repressed gay man who took out all his anger from years of being bullied, and a broken family into monstruous things and acts. These kind of people are just windows to the darkness of our species tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catnikko 13,778 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 it was so good. I never realised before that they completely ignored his neighbour, I'm glad the show makes it clear how badly the police failed everyone https://linktr.ee/jamalholt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
