Netflix has removed the LGBTQ+ tag from Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story -- Ryan Murphy's dramatization of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer's life -- after some noted that the categorization was inappropriate.

Quickly after the show's release, social media users began to complain about the tag, which was intended to reference Dahmer's presence in the LGBTQ+ community and the fact that he targeted gay and bisexual men. The overall consensus from those opposing the tag was that the marketing tactic was exploitative, and viewers searching for queer-focused content should see positive representation, not titles where LGBTQ+ folks are victimized.

The limited series premiered on Sept. 21 and stars Evan Peters as the infamous serial killer Dahmer. The show chronicles 10 of Dahmer's murders between the 1960s and his eventual arrest in the 1990s. Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story received mixed reviews from critics but has been more popular among viewers, currently sitting at an 86% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The show even dethroned Squid Game as Netflix's most-watched debut for a new series.

Jeffrey Dahmer's Life Is Well Documented

Netflix's Monster is far from the first title to center on the notorious killer. The series joins more than a dozen dramatizations and documentaries on the subject, including Jeffrey Dahmer: Mind of a Monster (2020), Dahmer on Dahmer: A Serial Killer Speaks (2017), My Friend Dahmer (2017), The Jeffrey Dahmer Files, (2012), Raising Jeffrey Dahmer (2006), Dahmer (2002), The Secret Life: Jeffrey Dahmer (1993) and Dahmer: Mystery of a Serial Killer (1993).

In addition to Peters, the show stars The Shape of Water's Richard Jenkins as Lionel Dahmer, The Breakfast Club's Molly Ringwald as Shari Dahmer, Never Have I Ever's Niecy Nash as Glenda Cleveland, Soul Food's Michael Beach as Detective Murphy, The Christmas Bunny's Colby French as Patrick Kennedy, and The Waltons' Micheal Learned as Catherine Dahmer. The series was co-created by Ian Brennan and Glee and American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy.

Monster isn't the only Netflix project Murphy has been busy with lately. He serves as a producer on Blumhouse and Netflix's Mr. Harrigan's Phone, a horror movie based on a Stephen King short story. He is also producing the Netflix series The Watcher, which stars Naomi Watts and Bobby Cannavale as a couple being mysteriously terrorized in their new neighborhood, as well as an untitled project about German-American actor Marlene Dietrich. Other titles on the way from Murphy are a Me Too-inspired anthology series called Consent, a TV miniseries based on A Chorus Line, and a TV movie called One Hit Wonders about a trio of fallen '90s pop stars.
