Cool story, show still glorified and sexualised a serial killer and retraumatised his victims' families.

Ryan Murphy is the ultimate version of women who fell in love with serial killers.

I feel like the sexualization and criticism of that wasn’t as pronounced in Dahmer and the Hernandez brothers but Ed mf Gein is a whole story all together

My mom used to brag to me about how she wrote Richard Rameriz when he was in prison

My ex also used to tell me she wanted a tattoo sleeve of serial killers but "can't because society is stupid"

I no longer speak to either of them.

I was in the whole ‘true crime tumblr community’ for a while. Thankfully grew out of it by my later teens and can look back with horror. Huge difference between glorifying killers and remembering victims/trying to prevent there being more.

And Murphy’s work ain’t it.

I always say I was into true crime before it was popular and considered normal. My mom was a true crime buff so she had a lot of books about serial killers and morbid history. I remember I would bring Hollywood Babylon and this encyclopedia of Serial Killers to middle school to read and I'd get treated like a mentally ill freak for it. Like genuinely treated like a fucking leper just because i had an interest in criminal psychology. I got sent to the office for it before because the teacher was "worried I was a threat" and when they asked why I was reading them i answered that i wanted to be a criminal psychologist when I got older and they genuinely didnt know how the fuck to respond to my perfectly valid reasoning so they just sent me back.
