‘Dahmer’: The victims don’t want any Ryan Murphy memorials, but they have another tip

Ryan Murphy’s recent statements have once again created a wedge between the creator of “DAHMER – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” and the victims of Jeffrey Dahmer. In an event held on Thursday, October 27, the Netflix series team explained that they had contacted relatives, but no one replied: “We researched for a long time. And over the course of about three and a half years, as we wrote it, we worked on it, we contacted 20, about 20 families and friends of the victims trying to get their point of view, trying to talk to them. Not a single person answered us in that process. So we’re relying a lot on our amazing research team who … I don’t know how they came up with a lot of stuff. But it has been a continuous effort to try to find out the truth about these people. “commented Ryan Murphy. He also noted that the show is not about the person behind the killer. “It’s about what made him the monster. We talk about it a lot, all the time. It’s about white privilege, systemic racism, homophobia.”.

In the same speech it was suggested to build a monument in honor of the victims and Murphy offered to finance it: “Anything I can do to make it happen I would, including paying for it myself. I think there should be something. And we’re trying to contact people to talk about it. I think there is some resistance because they think the park would attract people interested in paying homage to the macabre. But I think something should be done “..

This idea is the one that aroused criticism from relatives. Attorney Thomas M. Jacobson, who represented eight of the families of Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims in Milwaukee, released a statement saying they don’t want monuments, but rather that Netflix devotes part of the profits to profit from their stories and make resurrect the past “Ryan Murphy’s tribute to Dahmer’s victims seems like an afterthought. Milwaukee wanted Dahmer’s memory to disappear, so not wanting a memory of this slaughter should fall by the wayside. The only significant act that the families of Dahmer’s victims want from Murphy would be the financial consideration of Netflix’s profits for the ongoing exploitation and trauma.”. His message ends with a strong: “Netflix gets the edge, the families of Dahmer’s victims suffer the pain. This isn’t fair, it’s not reasonable, it’s not fair.”.

monstrous audience
