*Spoiler alert*
Well there is creative licence and making a fantastical pile of BS with zero respect for the victims.
If I were a family member of Bernice Worden I would be suing the arse off Ryan Murphy Productions for their depiction of her character. Not only is it highly disrespectful but completely untrue. She DID NOT have a sexual relationship with Gein. She was not obsessed with him. She did not engage in fetish with him. She was his victim who was butchered and defiled in a most horrific way. To portray her as a promiscuous woman who actively chased Gein, as well as alluding to her potentially having an STD, is downright shocking. She was a hardware store owner who happened to serve Gein one day and then end up his victim. There was no need for this storyline as some people will assume this is happened. This could have been done so much better.
Adeline Watkins - was it Ryan Murphys' intention to paint her as a willing accomplice as a way of suggesting she, in real life, knew about Geins' crimes? It certainly felt that way. Even so, making out that Gein was just misunderstood and if she hadn' t have shown him pictures of corpses he would have been just fine and never made anyone into a belt, chair, or lampshade is stretching credibility to the max. Talk about gaslighting his victims, this takes it to the max.
"Dahmer" worked because there was suitable sympathy elicited for his victims. Monster: Ed Gein is the complete opposite and is a gross affront to his victims.
