  • Victims and survivors of Jeffrey Dahmer say they want people to see him for who he really was -- not the glamorized TV version. See a never-before-aired interview with Dahmer’s father and stepmother that sheds light on the monster behind the man. They provide chilling details about his bizarre childhood behaviors. Plus, the Netflix series Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story pushed a decades-old story into today’s spotlight, some say giving it a 2022 “pop culture moment.” After the series debuted, Dahmer’s infamous glasses went up for sale for $150,000, and people dressed up as the notorious serial killer for Halloween. Has our culture’s obsession with true crime desensitized us? (21314)

      Because for them, it is Jeff. That's his son and her step son. It helps them separate their good memories of the child from the realities of the adult he became. Jeffrey is the serial killer. Jeff is this man's son. Imo that's why she did that and she did so for her husband's sake.
      They're victims too. Survivor's guilt, regret, shame. Just for having him as a son. Separation of Jeff from Jeffrey is purely for their psychological health

My mind would never think in a million years that my child would ever be capable of committing such crimes. We’re going back over 30 years ago where being gay wasn’t so openly accepted because there wasn’t much info on it. Now they teach homosexuality in schools and it’s accepted and everyone is very open. Keep that in mind when observing this story. Ultimately as a parent we love our child but if given the choice we all would want straight children. So I can understand why he would be relieved finding straight pornography. No father wants a gay son.

      It was a 10-part dramatic series about a cannibalistic serial killer starring a handsome actor in the leading role. There's nothing wrong with documentaries or news stories, but this was absolutely making a star out of a piece of human refuse who wasn't worth the film the movie was recorded on. It also contained lies Dahmer told, such as "keeping the body parts so the victims would never leave him". BS. He did that for the same reasons every other serial killer does: as a trophy to look at later & get off on again. He ate flesh because it was part of his fetish. Everything he did was in service of his necrophilia, not because he was some lonely backward lost soul.

I was really intrigued with the father's interview and analysis. After watching this series combined with "Monster" and "My friend Dahmer" it only confirmed my opinion that during his formative years he was exposed to things he shouldn't of been as well as not being supervised enough nor receiving any help (along with his father's willful ignorance) for his attractions, fantasies, alcoholism, and feelings of abandonment. I think his exploitation in school also played a roll.

    The home videos are precious. He was an innocent child at one point. I could've done without the ominous music while his parents spoke. They aren't to blame for his crimes and in a sense they're victims too. It's important to note that Dahmer took full accountability for his actions. Without his confessions and cooperation the police wouldn't have been able to identify all his victims. It's interesting how the media doesn't talk about Theresa Smith. She is the sister of victim Eddie Smith. There's befriended Dahmer's parents and even visited him in prison. She said the first thing he said to her was sorry.

    People always want a scapegoat to explain serial killers behaviour. But even if they were molested or abused as kids or had rough childhoods (which Jeff wasn’t btw) that doesn’t explain killing. Many people have rough childhoods and never go on to harm anyone. The truth is some human beings (thankfully very few) are genuine psychopaths who have no regard for the well-being of others. It’s terrifying but true. True psychopaths can’t be prevented.

    I'm curious to know whether the Dahmer series provides more information regarding how to spot a killer. That's the only reason I watch true crime series. I have children and grandchildren and I would like to inform them on how to identify narcissists, sociopaths and/or psychopaths. If the Dahmer series provides no new information from all the other series relating to this subject matter, I don't want to watch it. I feel so much empathy for the victims and relatives who are still grappling with the horror they experienced. I hope those who were personally effected by Dahmer find some peace in knowing that so many people wish them well.

When I was little I kept my guinea pig after it died until my mom noticed and threw it away. Even now I'm very into taxidermy. I collect everything ethically because I'd never hurt an animal but my house is filled with dead stuff, both on display and mid process. My friends and family have kinda given up and now just point out dead stuff or drive with me when I want to pick up road kill. I don't think any of them are thinking that I'm going to start murdering people next. Even my mom who was very against it, just because she hates germs, has shown off a few of my pieces.

    Don’t watch this Dr. Phil commentary to find out who Jeffrey Dahmer really was (as best as it is possible to know). Besides his parents, there are a lot of individuals on here who didn’t meaningfully interview him and truly get inside his mind. Read his official confession statements, read the book Grilling Dahmer, read Lionel Dahmer’s book A Father’s Story, Dr. Park Dietz interview’s regarding him, and other books and videos on people who truly had a chance to study him. And I hate to say this, but Capshaw’s accounts of what happened with him and Dahmer have shifted over the years and there are some unanswered discrepancies with his account, most glaring being that from all other accounts of people who were at his base at the time, there were more than 2 people in a room so some of these things couldn’t have happened. I think it’s probable Capshaw had some kind of very negative experience with Dahmer and I truly feel for him, but it’s possible much of the current story is not what happened.

    The parents can only be aware of his odd behaviors. Back then, just his homosexuality would seem odd to most. But there's a very fine line between your child being interested in death, science vs your child being a deranged individual. They could've discouraged his interests, but that doesn't mean he won't stop feeling the way he felt. Should all these types of behaviors be handled by locking up the child for life away from society? The parents, just like the police, should've pried a little more into his possessions more to uncover his secrets. When you live under your family's roof for free, you don't get that privacy. I like how he was or was portrayed as not being a liar. He let cops enter his apartment, he answered questions (perhaps some untruthfully), but it didn't come off arrogant like he knew he could get away with this. Just very naive and lucky that it took so long for him to actually be caught.

    Sorry i have to defend nerds like me though I understand that this is a problem. I like watching these shows but I do it with a educational mindset. I got a bachelor degree in human development and I find the way people think interesting. I want to know how a investigator thinks looking at facts. I want to see the slips of the perpetrators and I make note of their behavior. I will never understand watching a criminal documentary or the saw series and glorifying the actions of a serial killer. Why someone likes watching people be tortured killed and then celebrate the movie villains is beyond me. My husband doesn't understand how I'm able to watch these graphic crime shows describing the scene and I told him it depends on the maker of the video. I only clicked on this video because I saw the fbi agent who host deadly woman was in it. I appreciate her work to educate the public to keep women and men safe from people we wouldn't usually think twice about. I honestly believe that watching her show and studying warning red flags is the reason why I'm alive today. There have been many times that i said somethings wrong we need to go or you may not be here and then I learn that something bad happened or that person I kicked out of my apartment thankfully I was never alone with raped someone later. Be educated to recognize warning signs but don't glorify the crime. We will become such a horrible world if evil is justified and it'll be our fault if people start behaving in this way all because they have been taught its okay. It's normal. It's not normal to want to hurt people and think it's okay to do what they did and I want people to know that if you watch these and feel joy instead of recognizing the seriousness of the situation then you need to work on yourself so you learn to feel uncomfortable when people do evil things. I don't love the extreme criticism of people who watch crime news or documentary in this episode because I do think they can be a good teaching tool to learn signs,behaviors that we can't even comprehend cause our brain can't even go there but I do think it is important to call out those who don't use it for educational purposes like they said. We need to watch what we get desensitized to and portray in our society.
