SERIAL KILLERS THE EVIL INSIDE SERIAL
Why are women, especially young women, stanning for these men, despite full knowledge of their twisted and fatal transgressions? There’s not one core thread linking all women who have fallen in love with serial killers. In a post, a user says, “If you think you’re petty, never forget that when Ted Bundy was dumped by his he remade himself into the smoothest motherfucker, won her back, suggested marriage, and then dumped her ass.” The post includes the hashtag “iconic honestly,” though Bundy admitted to killing 36 young women while authorities believe that his death count is closer to 100. True crime Tumblr blog “ted-buddy” discusses Ted Bundy with playful admiration, as though the serial killer and rapist were a harmless internet meme. On the other hand, the gruesome crime scenes and the killers themselves have an unmistakable allure for fans of serial killers. In 1991, he was caught, arrested, and sentenced to 16 life terms, and was beaten to death by a fellow inmate in 1994.įor many people, Dahmer’s unspeakable brutality would constitute overwhelming disgust, rather than the impulse to set up an internet shrine. He was also a necrophiliac who kept souvenirs of the dead, including photographs and their skulls. Daaaamn, Dahmer.” In response to this post, jeffrey-is-a-babe replies, “Babe got busy.” Dahmer brutally murdered 17 men-many of whom were African American-between 19. On a Tumblr named “jeffrey-is-a-babe,” a post from user irishcreamandhalcion declares, “I don’t want to slut shame, but Jeffrey Dahmer didn’t lose his virginity until he was 25 years old, and before his apprehension at age 31, he managed to sleep with over 200 dudes. A simple search for “serial killer fandom” on Tumblr uncovers a plethora of accounts that range from true crime lovers to unrepentant “fans” of notorious murderers such as Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard “The Night Stalker” Ramirez, and most recently, white supremacist Dylann Roof.
But these devoted fans are not beguiled by harmonized pop songs or synchronized dance moves: They’re obsessed with serial killers. Their declarations of lust and love wouldn’t seem out of place on a message board for the newest chart-topping boy band of the month.
