After seeing increasing interest in Dahmer-inspired getups since the unveiling of Netflix's 'Dahmer Story' last month, the commerce website announced the scrubbing of the costumes on Wednesday. The drama has since risen to become the most popular show of all time, but has been chastised for glorifying the notorious murderer who murdered and ate 17 men in Ohio and Wisconsin between 1978 and 1991. Concerning the logic behind their decision, eBay brass said in a tweet that the costumes, which included glasses, wigs, and shirts designed to capture Dahmer's likeness, went against the terms of service. It comes as a reminder that some costumes are seen as offensive, some are worn in good fun, and others are used in good fun, and others are used to report on activities around us. Also, if it be a costume portraying the recently deceased Queen or a Confederate general, just because you can buy a costume doesn't mean you should.
