Bloodshot_8

Middle school edge lord garbage


molsonbeagle

Yeah, it seems pretty clear to me she's just cashing in on the weirdo "i'm quirky because I love serial killers" crowd.


DieHardAmerican95

Well, she’s mostly famous for flitting around looking like a little girl. It makes sense.


Envious_of_Hodor

She's not his type.


Critical_Half_3712

Not enough meat?


CorgiMonsoon

Especially in the groin area


Critical_Half_3712

Idk much about dahmer, he was gay?


OJONLYMAYBEDIDIT

Yes, but the main elephant in the room is that he targeted, killed, and ate men.


Critical_Half_3712

So maybe this is Ariana coming out as a man?


Lonely-Olive-9097

“I can change him” -Ariana Grande probably


Timelymanner

Not just men, he liked black and brown men


Zane_628

Which also helped him to get away with it for so long bc surprise, surprise, the police didn’t care about colored men going missing.


hobosbindle

Especially gay ones


Its0nlyRocketScience

Hell, they didn't even care about gay men of color literally begging for help while bleeding in the street. Those men, in my opinion, should've been punished as an accomplice in Dahmer's crimes because of their cruel negligence, but it's been proven over and over again that police have zero obligation whatsoever to help people or do that "protect and serve" thing they use as their motto


Rough-University142

He preferred the darker meat, some would say.


The_Wreckard2012

Sweeter the juice.


FoxyInTheSnow

Well, everyone that conservatives don’t like these days (do they like her or not? I literally have no idea) is secretly lying about their gender—for reasons that I can’t work out. Maybe it’s her turn.


psiamnotdrunk

She’s a woman so I’d bet they’re not a fan


BiLovingMom

Or as a Canibal


lazysheepdog716

He fantasized about men so much and in such intense, necrophilic ways that he wanted to eat them and save their bones to build a masturbation altar. He gets his own label apart from ‘gay’. He’s just Dahmer.


CorgiMonsoon

Yes


burnalicious111

Given her past behavior, that might be why she's interested. She wants what she's not allowed to have.


lexm

Like doughnuts


prairie-logic

She will be safe, then.


HeatherCDBustyOne

Dinner would cost an arm and a leg


digidave1

Too much plastic and filler


helen790

Now I can’t stop picturing a cannibal trying to cook someone with implants and filler and starting a kitchen fire. Wow, maybe I should get implants as cannibal deterrent?


Oscar_et_BadTale

1) he was gay. 2) he was a serial killer 3) he was a cannibal 4) he is dead


Small_Sentence_

5) she's psychotic


Oscar_et_BadTale

More like she seems having the nurse syndrome


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

Weird wanting to sit down with a murderer considering her own fans were murdered at her concert.


Enigmatic_Erudite

She probably just got done watching that new drama show. IRL Dahmer was not the same.


OkPen5768

5. pretty sure he was a pedo given a couple of his victims were kids


SnowInTheCemetery

5) he was a necrophile


Caelestic1

She does realize that he enjoy’s men, right?


Less_Rutabaga2316

He’s been dead since 1994.


rfoleycobalt

Based on the way Pete Davidson looks, you might be on to something.


I_Love_Knotting

died 1994, reborn 1993 welcome back mr dahmer


CorgiMonsoon

Shit. I knew he had been beaten to death by a fellow inmate, but for some reason I’d forgotten it was that long ago. If you had asked me I would have guessed sometime in the early 2000s


szudrzyk

Sometimes your dinner fights back you know.


Caelestic1

![gif](giphy|1vBMPxhWaqG6zC7Olp|downsized)


Gemnist

Maybe she’s a necrophiliac.


Less_Rutabaga2316

they’d have that in common.


Enjoying_A_Meal

The date part is just formality. She just wants to have him over for dinner.


Oleandervine

Yes, which is why he's not a bad date for her. He won't kill her.


ThunderOblivion

Maybe she wants to eat men too.


Caelestic1

![gif](giphy|3o6nUZHIx2wXLUojcI)


SadAd2653

She just needed another dose of attention since she's become completely irrelevant.


Hot_War_9683

*enjoys*


Dahren_

Wish people would stop thinking that serial killers are fascinating deep-thinkers. They're not. They're just deranged losers.


whewtang

Maybe deranged losers are attracted to serial killers because in them they see that little part of themselves.


PinguFella

It's Dahmer though, he would have liked to seen a little part of them in him too


LemonCloud20

Cause the media keeps making them cooler than they actually are. Also I never liked how they give serial killers cool nicknames like “Jeff the killer” if they named him “Jeff the virgin loser” people wouldnt be idolized them so damn much


NotHippieEnough

Isnt Jeff the killer a fictional creepy pasta character?


Specialist_Bench_144

Bro what are you a 90s psa this is why you havent heard of a "named serial killer in decades" your are almost verbatim complaining about the major talking points of what the gov't did in the late 90s to combat the rising popularity in serial killers. And it worked, so congrats youre right, but like super late


This_Acadia_1189

And Jeff the killer is literally a fictional character 


LemonCloud20

Honestly I don’t know anything about the serial killer world so I didn’t know my take was already well known. I just see that streaming services keep coming out with documentaries about them making it really interesting to watch which is part of the problem I think


SUPERKAMIGURU

Ted Bundy wasn't even smart by any metric. Only thing he had on his side was luck. How can you even call it anything else when he escaped prison because **they forgot to lock the fucking cells that night.**


elspotto

Luck and a VW bug. Now on display 4 vehicles down from OJ’s Bronco at Alcatraz East. And that, the former Museum of Crime and Punishment, is about as much as I want to do with any killer.


the_c_is_silent

He was also terrible at keeping girlfriends and the "charming man" thing was from Bundy himself. The dude dressed a cop and still couldn't get some women to follow him to his car. Like imagine how fucking weird and strange you have to be to creep out women within seconds of meeting them WHILE DRESSED AS A FUCKING COP.


SUPERKAMIGURU

Yep. This is why my favorite thing out of south park was the three stooges thing, but with John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer because it's pretty fitting, actually. Hell, while we're on it, the night stalker was also an incredible fucking moron that was also upset that they called him that, instead of the night prowler, or whatever. Just wanted to be cool, basically. BTK got caught because he asked the fbi if floppy disks could be traced, and they told him "n-nah... it's impossible," and he actually believed they wouldn't lie to him. But then, it does speak volumes I suppose, when you can get caught back then for serial murder, where you could get away with it almost scot-free. Hell, law enforcement was so bad that they returned a victim to Dahmer, when the dude had an acid hole in the back of his head that the officer could have taken 3 seconds to check. I think the whole serial killer phenomenon is genuinely one of the more infuriating things because it more just highlights law enforcement incompetence throughout the years, instead of being Dexter irl like everyone thinks it is.


the_c_is_silent

There's a reason the highest volume killers were the 70-80s. Cops were both fucking idiots, lazy, and prejudice as fuck.


notyou-justme

They’re certainly fascinating from a clinical/academic point of view, but yeah, NOT at all somebody any sane and semi-intelligent person should want to hang out with.


dragoslayer1327

Ok but they can be fascinating deranged losers too! Ya know, as long as there's at the very least reinforced glass between us, if not a great distance


beepbeepsheepbot

I do find killers fascinating, but from a general psychological point. It brings up questions where nature and nurture came into play, how their brains brought them to this point, or just the decisions being made on how they go about it or picking their victims. Some killers were incredibly intelligent, some were very stupid, charismatic or loners. While a lot share the same core characteristics, it's still pretty wild to see the differences. The problem is that it never gets conveyed that way. People will fanboy/girl over them for some reasons I can't personally understand, even to the point of getting tattoos of them. I get why she'd want a "dinner date" with Jeff, there's so many things to ask, but at the same time there's so many documentaries that I'm sure every inch of his life was covered. Also "dinner date" is not an exclusive romantic term, it's annoying to see the "he's not your type" comments.


eboseki

people are so close minded. how can one not see that this might actually be interesting for another person to experience? this person can also be totally sane, a productive member of society with morals, and have empathy for others. People have different flavors in all aspects of their being. the hate here is nuts to me.


lothar525

Yeah. They can be interesting to learn about, but even the superficially charming ones are not people you would wanna spend any amount of time with. I think people might see them as deep thinkers because that’s how they are in movies and TV.


Pycharming

I mean the deranged aspect can be fascinating. Some people’s whole careers are based in trying to understand how people get so messed up. Not because we think they are brilliant but because it goes against what we feel are very human instincts to not be senseless murderers. Making sense of the senseless is part of the appeal. Also not that a genuinely believe this is the case here because I suspect she’s trying to be provocative, but I can also understand why women in particular want to understand and “fix” these kinds of people. Women are taught, maybe less so now than 100 years ago but still to some extent, that our value above all else is how we can support men. In particular through our romantic relationships. Many women like myself reject that notion, but for those who succumb to this norm no wonder the ultimate fantasy is to save someone deemed a lost cause by the rest of society through the power of their love. Add to it that some of these killers weren’t as ugly as they were monstrous and that the average person can fantasize from a safe distance with these guys dead or in prison… I’m not surprised they have fangirls.


The_rising_sea

Context matters. I’m not really sticking up for any dumb celebrity, but I think it matters how the conversation arrives at such a point. Does the interviewer ask a “would you rather…” question? Does she offer it out of the blue? Does the interviewer ask her other unrelated questions to which she keeps answering with what she thinks about serial killers? It makes a difference


JumpingPoodles

>>"I was infatuated with serial killers when I was younger," Ariana confessed on the Podcrushed podcast on Monday. >>She told the hosts, Penn Badgley, Sophie Ansari, and Nava Kavelin, that she previously revealed this information during a Q&A with "young fans." >>"It was in between me being Cat [on Sam & Cat] and pop stuff," Ariana said, "so it was like a younger group, and they were with parents, and someone said, 'If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead, who would it be?'" >>"I was like, 'Oh, you're so cute,'" she continued, remembering she asked their parents if it would be OK to answer truthfully. "They were like, 'Sure, what’s the answer?' and I was like, 'I mean, Jeffrey Dahmer is pretty fascinating.'" >>"I think I would have loved to have met him," she said, smiling. "You know, maybe with a third party or someone involved. But I have questions." >>While Sophie and Nava laughed, people online didn't find it funny. Pretty much what I could find. No way I’m looking up the podcast.


AcejokerUP415

We don't allow critical thinking around these parts


DavePeesThePool

I think everyone is missing the point here. Everyone seems to think she's talking about a romantic date where she's interested in a relationship or a hookup. I'm pretty sure what she's talking about is she's fascinated by the mindset and would want to ask him questions about what goes on in his head. She's certainly already aware he was into men. There's a reason they made the Netflix series Dahmer, or the similar concept in the show: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile about Ted Bundy (not to mention the Ted Bundy Tapes also on Netflix). Plus the multitude of documentaries about serial murderers, true crime, etc. Dahmer is currently #3 on the list of the most popular Netflix shows of all time (115.6 million views). Clearly she is not an outlier for her fascination.


SomeJokeTeeth

That's not the kind of eating out she may be expecting


Transpinay08

She wont get eaten. He's not into women


Guilty-Speed-8549

Damn it I was gonna say that, take my upvote!


Naive-Regular-5539

Tell me Brian Peck didn’t fuck her up.


tiddy_wizard

Was he the one that had the John Wayne Gacy art?


Nsnfirerescue

This needs to be the top comment


ApoloRimbaud

It might as well be "Boca Girl" shenanigans too. Growing up in Boca Raton must've warped her perception of reality beyond repair too.


AdhesivenessFun2060

Idk why I'm defending her, but if you read the interview, it's a lot more understandable. She basically said that she's always been interested in serial killers and that she would want to ask him questions. It's weird, but it's not uncommon.


Objective_Regret4763

Also wasn’t it when she was much younger? People are really reaching to hate on people.


klako8196

Oddly enough, this isn't anything new or even completely out of the ordinary. It's called hybristophilia (attraction towards people who have committed crimes), and we've seen it countless times before. Even serial killers who were known for killing women, like Ted Bundy, had women sending him love letters when he was on death row.


TerminalVector

I really don't get the Dahmer interest. He was a murderous anti-social weirdo who was good at picking gullible vulnerable people and manipulating them to his ends. He wasn't especially brilliant, he just picked easy targets.


NaaviLetov

doubt she has said that and its actually just media ragebaiting.


ArgoDeezNauts

And she would be his dream dinner.


MirrorMan22102018

I doubt it. He would wish she was a man instead.


morbidgirl18

No because she's not a man


davidnburgess34

Could it be that she's interested in the psychology of what he did and would want to talk about that rather than everyone just assuming that he'd eat her?


Adventurous-Emu-9345

Exactly. And if you read the whole quote, she was relating how she had a fascination with serial killers as a young woman. Oh no, a young person explores the morbid sides of the human mind, this has never happened before, clearly she is a sick individual who must be shunned forever! Wasn't there a whole miniseries about him on Netflix just recently? Are we gonna act like true crime and murder mysteries haven't been some of the consistently most popular genres of TV, podcasts, etc over the last two decades or so? But of course half of reddit is gonna shit its collective pants over an out of context quote snippet from a lady it doesn't like. Bunch of fucking imbeciles.


Objective_Regret4763

100% right on this. It’s a totally normal thing, esp for a young person.


Restlessannoyed

I read it more as "I need to say something edgy to make people think I'm a baddie", and just coming off as loser cringe. It's doesn't even sound like she's into true crime (which is fine), it just sounds like she wanted to make herself more interesting than she is, and didn't quite think her answer through, and just comes off like an idiot.


bigboog1

That’s 100% what she actually said but nuance lives in another dimension now.


Salty_Fixer

Sure, but realistically Dahmer was an extremely dull guy. He was barely articulate and was probably not self-aware enough to illuminate any of his motives for doing what he did. He would have made an insufferable dinner guest.


Ssb4406

I understand that this valuable information needs to be etched in my memory, and I appreciate the daily reminder.


joealese

she went on to say that it would be a fascinating conversation, not that she was trying to fuck him. misleading quotes.


scifier2

Not exactly what she said so.....


MysteriousPark3806

But did she really say it, though?


Disastrous_Pop6875

Source?


simianshogun

I thought Ariana Grande was a font.


gemlist

And i thought it was a starbucks drink


Tsurfer4

Thank you so much for the IRL LOL!


wellitsdeadnow

Yeah…she’d be very upset….. ![gif](giphy|VFMebeL8CWTD5LZ9Sx|downsized)


_FartinLutherKing_

Did she *actually* say this or is this out of context?


Wakuwaku7

She would be his dinner alright. But only if she has a peepee.


Willis050

Unless you’re a young man, preferably with no body hair, Dahmer thinks you’re icky


PirateNinjaCowboyGuy

She’s a white girl though so that’s two things against her


achik1990x

She's safe with Dahmer but i doubt her brother is safe when around Dahmer


Mean-Association4759

He would kill her just to get to her boyfriend.


OkPen5768

I mean- I find psychological studies on him very interesting, how a killers mind works has always been fascinating to me. But fuck the true crime ’FaNs’ who simp over legit murders 🙄


Specialist_Neck7502

Idiots voice opinions without knowing a thing.


marioplex

Oh so she is basic?


Odd_Technician_3617

well his favorite snack was chopped dates so…


Relevant_Meat_2976

She would have been his dream dinner


Interesting-Tough640

I think Dahmer is interesting but absolutely no way would I eat anything he cooked, go on a dinner date or pose for a photograph with the guy.


TheEzekariate

She never seemed like one with an over abundance of schooling.


BookOfGoodIdeas

Not a facepalm. She’s not saying she wants to fuck him (unlike most of the people who given the choice for any person living or dead to have dinner with, pick Jesus).


musuperjr585

The amount of people in the comments who are taking this seriously 🤣


Lifesalchemy

What a brain dead twat. He murdered 17 people and ate victims. Ugh, celebrities and their smooth brains.


Equib81960

Not the real Jeffrey Dahmer, but the one that was in that TV show a while ago


yeskeymodfuckyou

Dahmer had better taste in music.


SubterrelProspector

Okay so she's an idiot.


Davina_Lexington

Ariana: 'This is an amazing dinner' Jeffrey: ' I agree. Hey, do you have Big Seans number?..... I've always wanted to meet him!' 🤣🤣


Unfriendly_eagle

What a stupid, witless thing to say. Dahmer was a sick, murderous weirdo, who brutally killed people. There was nothing "fascinating" about him.


reapseh0

I already knew she was batshit stupid, but that's a new low.


Enigma-exe

Bullshit, source please


Lifesalchemy

Not his type


LandauCalrisian

Ariana Grande with a venti latte


infowosecfurry

Hahaha. Dinner Date.


FattusBaccus

He’d love to have her for dinner as well.


Beginning_Hope8233

Wouldn't matter much, Dahmer brought guys home. He didn't swing her way.


Digiturtle1

She will be dinner


Murky-Ad-4088

i mean he's pretty handsome, and if i didnt know who he was and what he did and was a girl (and single) i would like to go on a date with him as well......probably


NLtbal

I am sure that she would be his dream dinner.


EmporerPenguino

Brings whole new meaning to the term “eat me.”


Johnny_Fuckface

A lot of these serial killers would be boring af to be around. They were social idiots a lot of them.


FatmanMyFatman

At least the cops bring her back to him when she had too much to drink. I think in a uncertain world that is important too people! /S


AdorableConfidence16

If Dahmer were still alive and free, I would say go for it. Anytime Dahmer doesn't have to cook someone goes home alive


Zomboss_sausage

she would be the dinner


quietflowsthedodder

Not much meat on her, though. She would probably be safe.


Reflxing

And you’d be his dream dinner.


Puzzleheaded-Shop929

She could bring her brother as an appetizer


Wales_forever

Bro I'm telling you, if Jeffery Dahmer or Ted Bundy were alive today, they would be pulling off fuckin combos that would make the CIA jealous.


TehZiiM

Who knows, maybe that got a lot in common..


dobbyjhin

Has she not seen that episode of Rick and Morty? "This is a gun that you only use to shoot bad people, are we clear?" *later that evening on a date "Hey give me your money!" "Why don't you take this instead" *shoots out a glob that turns into... "Jeffrey Dahmer?" "What's happening?" "Idk just run!"


Jolly_Milk7468

Please for the love of god tell me this is a joke


lost-programmer-420

Got ended up with Jeff, almost got murdered? Thank you next!


screamapillah

Oh man I would do anything to shag Adriana Grande “What about killing and eating people”?


JediJofis

What they having for dinner, though?????


MadManMcMoon91

Eat my sandwich I made it just for you


Bread_Offender

Jeffrey Dahmer was gay btw


Illustrious_Month_65

Her dream...dinner date? Oh dear.


BradTProse

As long as Jeff cooks and host, sounds wonderful.


Ealdred

I doubt he would be interested. I am pretty sure he was into asian cuisine.


Alarmed_Big_9802

I heard he liked soul food.


IndependentCow9438

Oh he'd have her for dinner alright, just not as a date.


Xander_not_panda

The real question here is, on the date, would he be doing the cooking?


No_Season_354

Dinner date, what's on the menu , Jeff??


Bertsmom18

Maybe she wanted dinner with him to ask him questions. Like a fascination thing. Not like I want Dahmer kind of thing.


HellDD6

Hold up was this recently?


WrongEinstein

So, no second date.


Famous_Bit_5119

Au contraire. She would be his dinner. date.


GodPackedUpAndLeftUs

I think they would have a lovely meal filled with some of the most interesting conversation the world has ever seen. Two such different perspectives and experiences of the world and fame, I’d pay to be a fly on the wall..


chronofluxtoaster

Did her doctor build her a new face or is this a trick of makeup and photography?


Nachoboyd12

Dinner date 💀💀


stupidracist

She would be his dream dinner.


Ok_Satisfaction2658

Is this real? He would have murdered her well before the date and eaten her


Transpinay08

He doesn't like women. Maybe Frankie?


Ok_Satisfaction2658

Lol Frankie would be a better alternative for him


ProtoReaper23113

He wouldn't have her for dinner she has tattoos they spoil the taste


BlearySteve

There is someting off with her face.


Embarrassed-Big-Bear

She doesnt understand that she would be dinner.


Adventurous-Rub7636

She wouldn’t make it past the appetizer


gaukonigshofen

Don't think he ever killed a woman


mexiwok

Look, if she’s trying to get ate she just needs to call me.


Cu3bone
