Jesse James.

Billy the Kid.

Jeffery Dahmer.

Charles Manson.

Al Capone.

Baby Face Nelson.

And many, many more.

Out of all these, though, the only one I have seen still be idolized in some capacity is Dahmer. Women seem to love him, despite the fact he was gay. And a cannibal.

Bonnie and Clyde

also the most prominent idolized today isn't Dahmer; it's the guy who just got elected for president

Do people really idolize dahmer?

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

To that extent, Trump

I still think that guy needs to go fuck off a cliff, but he fits the premise right?
