Dahmer's story has been in many books, news articles and films in the past that show that his maximum victims were LGBTQ and POC.

Consulting producer of the show Rashad Robinson said that the series aims to tell the stories of the victims.

That is the reason behind putting it into LGBTQ and Horror content by Netflix. But this decision wasn't workout with the audience.

One TikTok user commented that this is not the representative they are looking for while another added that she was livid by the issue.

She said that she feels horror is something that is a certain level of fiction and spooky which is not existing in this series.

No one is against the idea but some of them pointed out that the show does explore LGBTQ and injustices at the same time, one of the comments reads.
