Tim argues Netflix is moving away from "woke" content back toward glorifying real, gritty stories like Dahmer, framing it as a cultural pendulum swing people are hungry for.
- Netflix is swinging back from woke content toward stories like Dahmer, which Tim says is what people actually want
- Jeffrey Dahmer represents a protagonist audiences can identify with compared to manufactured entertainment
- Netflix initially categorized Dahmer as LGBTQ content, which upset the community
- Tim argues Dahmer should stay under LGBTQ because it's the first good thing in that category in recent memory
- Billy Eichner's film and game show are compared unfavorably to Dahmer as entertainment
- Jeffrey Dahmer is an American institution and real story from the heartland, unlike forgettable recent projects
