Netflix has made the decision to drop the LGBTQ tag from Dahmer — Monster:
The Jeffrey Dahmer Story after experiencing backlash from viewers. The
series about the Milwaukee serial killer was categorized with the LGBTQ
tag but was recently removed following criticism from the community.
The streaming platform tags every show and movie to make search queries
easier for subscribers. Searching LGBTQ brings up shows like Heartstopper,
Young Royals, Uncoupled, Alex Strangelove and many more. The series and
films tagged with LGBTQ showcase characters that identify with the LGBTQ
community giving representation to the often marginalized group.
Tagging the Dahmer series with LGBTQ made some in the community upset as
that is not the representation they want. It’s known that Dahmer targeted
men and boys, with some being from the LGBTQ community, and watching the
series has added to the trauma of the victims’ families.
“I feel like it fetishizes this whole horrible moment in Milwaukee
history. It shouldn’t be looked at that way, it just feels completely
wrong,” drag performer B.J. Daniels told WISN. “I know a lot of my
friends, and a lot of people who lived through this period, will not be
watching it. They will not be putting money into somebody’s pocket that is
literally disturbing the graves of victims.”
Netflix has tagged the Dahmer series with “Ominous” and Dark,” and it is
unclear when they removed the LGBTQ tag.
Created by Ryan Murphy and Ian Brenna, Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey
Dahmer Story stars Evan Peters as the titular character. The series
exposes these unconscionable crimes, centered around the underserved
victims and their communities impacted by the systemic racism and
institutional failures of the police that allowed one of America’s most
notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight
for over a decade.
