#DahmerNetflix: Jeffrey Dahmer Victim Polaroid Challenge Horrifies TikTok

Whilst many of us find it hard enough to watch depictions of Jeffrey Dahmer’s crimes, some social media users especially on Tiktok, have relished looking up real-life images.

The so-called “Jeffrey Dahmer polaroid challenge” sees TikTokers searching for the pictures online and then filming and sharing their reactions to them.

The search terms “Jeffery Dahmer victim polaroids” have garnered 531.2 million views on the platform, to give some indication of the extent of people’s morbid fascination.

TikTok has made moves to remove some of the unspeakable content, however, users have continued to egg each other on, with one creator posting a clip titled “Jeffrey Dahmer real polaroids”, with the caption: “EDITED REPOST!! [Because] TikTok took down the unedited one with 130k views.” This video has been viewed more than 2.8 million times in two days.

Fortunately, countless social media users have condemned the macabre craze, with many asking why the images are available online at all.

Meanwhile, Glamtush reports that others have criticised those voicing their disgust at Jeffrey Dahmer Victim Polaroid photos, asking why they looked them up in the first place.
