Why Netflix Removed the LGBTQ+ Tag From Dahmer Series
Netflix removed the LGBTQ+ tag from Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story because of intense backlash on social media over what the tag signified. Typically, the LGBTQ+ tag on Netflix is used to indicate content that positively represents LGBTQ+ people, but the Dahmer series doesn’t have that. While Jeffrey Dahmer himself was a gay man, his real-life crimes included murdering 17 boys and gay men. It’s indescribably tone-deaf for a show such as this to portray such a brutal serial killer as some kind of positive representation of the LGBTQ+ community, especially given the incredibly triggering crimes that Dahmer himself committed on his victims. This understandably resulted in massive backlash on social media and, as a result, Netflix has removed the tag. That’s all we’ve got on why Netflix removed the LGBTQ+ tag from the Dahmer series. If you’re looking for a Netflix series with much better LGBTQ+ representation, you might want to look into a show like The Umbrella Academy, starring Elliot Page as Viktor Hargreeves.
