The controversy of the new Jeffrey Dahmer Netflix docuseries only got worse when TikTok edits of Dahmer and his victims were posted. "People are making romance TikTok edits about a serial killer and his victim," one person tweeted. "This is about a murderer and a man he killed. My heart goes out to the families of Jeffrey Dahmer's victims." 

Evan Peters portrays Dahmer in the series, and according to The Star, many were uncomfortable when TikTok users began posting "thirst traps" of him using clips from the show. Due to the actor's popularity, Dahmer has become a desirable Halloween costume. Simone Biles has spoken out about the matter on Twitter, writing, "Im just gon go head and say it, put the jeffrey dahmer costumes back in the closet." Clearly not a fan, she added, "We ain't having it!!!!!!"

Online shopping companies like eBay have taken a stance on the Dahmer costume idea, as well. According to TMZ, a spokesperson for the company said that selling Dahmer-inspired costumes goes against one of their policies, which rejects, "Items closely associated with or that benefit violent felons, their acts, or crime scenes within the past 100 years."
