[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What difference is there between this and movies shows about the Holocaust? Or movies like Wolf of Wall Street about a guy who inflicted severe financial harm on many people.? Or being entertained by every war movie ever made showing deaths of soldiers?  The fact that this makes your skin crawl means acting is good. Many of us were too young to remember all.of the details and haven't gone out of our way to read up on Dahmer.[/quote]

What more do you need to know? He was a disgusting serial killer who preyed on victims for as long as he did because the police are racist. He finally met his well-deserved end in prison from a Black man who isn’t getting a fawning Netflix series made about him. You just find the trauma of families who are still alive and who lost family in a horrific way to be entertaining. [/quote]

Once again, how are people entertained by Schindler's List?  How are Call of Duty games billion dollar entertainment when you are glamorizing war and turning WWII into a game?  Or all all of the movies about 9/11? There are many, many, many forms of entertainment based on terrible events in history.  There is literally no difference in dramatization of this story versus every other video game or movie based on real life events.  Hell, even Mike Tyson is now having his life dramatized on multiple platforms, and he committed sexual assault.[/quote]

There is a huge difference. In the case of Schindler’s List, the main character is the hero, and the film doesn’t lovingly portray the Nazi murderers. Furthermore, the victims and hero are the main characters throughout, not the Nazis. Same with the movies about 9/11. Call of Duty is fictional, though it’s telling that you consider it to be equivalent to Dahmer as it shows how you think of his victims. It’s appalling that you can’t or won’t see the differences here.

You get off on re-traumatizing victims. Just be honest with yourself. [/quote]

Call of Duty is not fictional. They’ve literally had games where you play the landing of Normandy.  Your entertainment is literally playing war and killing people.  There have been movies about Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy. At what part of the Dahmer show is he being glorified?  Meanwhile, a sexual assaulter like Mike Tyson is constantly glorified by the dramas about his life. Are his victims still around?

Just be honest with yourself - you have selective outrage.  You probably buy COD games to entertain your kids while are outraged for some deranged reason about the Dahmer show even though it is a real historical event.  The scariest part is that you’re basically advocating for censorship of media just because of your selective outrage.[/quote]
