In addition to enjoying enormous popularity on Netflix, ranking number one among the most watched in Spain after breaking records to become the best premiere of all time for a series on the platform, ‘Dahmer – Monster: The Story by Jeffrey Dahmer’ is being surrounded by controversies and various controversies since its launch – nothing new in these times.
Of labels and representations
A couple of days ago we told you how Rita Isbell, sister of one of the victims of the Milwaukee Cannibal, charged against the Ryan Murphy production starring Evan Peters, pointing it out as a creation born of “pure greed” that he is only managing to re-traumatize those who lived closely the crimes he recounts.
But this is not all, since today we have learned that the Big N has decided to remove the LGTBQ label from ‘Monster’which accompanied the “disturbing” and “sinister” in the miniseries file due to the sexual orientation of its protagonist, after complaints made by members of the group on social networks such as TikTok or Twitter.
