Seems like western media low-key sexing up serial killers for profit.
When I heard people were calling for it to be cancelled I was like 🤔 but if its a documentary?
So I watched a bit and turned it off after 10 minutes.
I’m sorry but casting some gorgeous actor and telling the story like he’s some angsty anti hero vs the maniac he was is imo a very dangerous rehabilitation of his character.
Of course he preyed on mostly gay men so I doubt most Americans give as much of a fuck about the portrayal vs if Netflix did a sexy drama series on Chris Dorner (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Dorner_shootings_and_manhunt) then I bet all the angloids and blue line nonces would be pissing their pants about it.
Frankly with serial killers people make the argument “well people obviously know its wrong but it’s really interesting and did you know this niche fact about them” and don’t realise they themselves are humanising these monsters.
Tl;dr it’s an irresponsible serial killer fetish film
Serial killer obsession is something I have never been able to understand. It also feels like a predominantly American thing. I personally don’t find them interesting at all seeing how even with the plethora of systemic issues they are brought up under they are still extreme outliers.
Yeah it’s a real weird one, there’s finding the study of their thought processes interesting but the pop fascination with them is just cringe and just so on brand for ignorant childish westerners.
My goodness… I didn’t even know the Chris Dorner case happened, thank you for shining light on it. Man, Dorner was wrongfully treated. I wonder why no one is talking about this?
I agree with you on the fact that it’s a film sexualizing and fetishizing serial killers. Especially the scenes where Dahmer laid with his dead victims. They filmed it in a way where it was a sensual porn scene, and never depicted him in a disgusting way.
Nobody is talking about it because it doesn’t fit the police gud/black people bad narrative american is addicted to. That an its happened long enough ago now to not be relevant to a lot of the public I imagine. Shame really as I think it’s important to know.
It’s stuff like this that makes me think what is art without an understanding of the subject? Like did the director or scene artist or whatever not honestly realise what they are doing? If they think that’s fine then that says ALOT about them imo.
