The thing that fucked me up was how many people on reddit were saying they feel "society let Dahmer down". It's OUR fault, because he was abused and nobody loved him. And of course these people have this weird saviour complex, like they themselves would have totally changed him with just loooove.
And what makes it even worse is that that very attitude is what allows Dahmer and those like him to get as far as they do. If someone had actually put their foot down and said "Actually, this guy is certainly a threat, and may even just be evil", it would have saved lives.
I do think Harry's point about how they had to big-up Dahmer's racism [that didn't exist] because, according to the progressive stack, the raping, cannibalism, and murder are a lesser evil (to the Progressive-types) is also fascinating. Because like you pointed out, they will make all kinds of excuses for the other things he did, but racism is unforgivable to them.
It's like that Norm Macdonald bit about Harvey Weinstein. "The worst part was the racism." No, the worst part was the murdering people, and the eating people, and the raping children, and the racism is way down the list.

I just saw a funny clip with Norm talking about the guy and half the comments are referencing the Weinstein and OJ jokes. :D
