“Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”, a series created by Ryan Murphy, has become the new success of Netflix. A few days after its premiere, it broke records, positioned itself as the most viewed on the platform and there are plenty of reasons for it.
In its 10 chapters, we were able to learn more about how the serial killer thought, his disturbing crimes and the drama of his victims. The result has sparked all kinds of criticism from different communities, including the LGTBIQ+, who do not feel properly represented.
Several of its members rejected that Netflix has included the LGTBIQ + label in the production just because Jeffrey Dahmer and his victims belonged to that community. Given this, the platform did not take long to eliminate said categorization.
“This series ‘fetishizes’ this horrible moment in Milwaukee history,” says BJ Daniels, a well-known drag queen in the city. “I know many friends who went through this period and will not see this series. They are not going to put money in the pockets of those who litter the graves of the victims,” she added.
On the other hand, the relatives of the deceased denounced that the Netflix series took advantage of and exploited the suffering of others to turn it into entertainment, despite the fact that the production would have done so “with respect for the victims” and “honoring the dignity of the families. ”.
“It’s going back to trauma over and over again, and for what? How many movies/series/documentaries do we need? Recreating my cousin having an emotional breakdown in court in front of the man who tortured and murdered her brother is wild,” Errol Lindsey stated through his Twitter account.
