Or was he born with it?

There are many factors that come into play with a psychopathic mind like Dahmers and while many may dismiss this, when one is born and the universal elements can play a large part too.
Many serial killers fall under certain star signs and especially mutable ones, when change is happening in seasons.
I'd say Jeff was largely damaged in the womb due to a cocktail of pharmaceuticals his mother took to begin with, add dysfunction in the home, the mother apparently didn't care much for Jeff and wasn't loving with him and the father was away a lot of the time.

I think he was damaged in the womb because his mom was sickly and took medication, which you're not supposed to do when you're carrying a baby
He actually should have just committed suicide instead of harming animals and then moving on to what he did to those poor victims of his -

While Dahmer was very troubled, was he actually the suicidal type? I think he liked attention from others.
When those ignorant pigs handed that 14yr old kid back to him, there were 4 more victims after that, excluding the kid. Just appalling!

It's beyond belief that they did that to that kid, absolutely appalling
He said in an interview that he had contemplated suicide but he just didn't have the courage or whatever
That's always my go-to though, I like to say that someone should kill themselves before they take out innocent lives -

Dahmer had a cruel streak in him that he couldn’t control. He was mentally ill it seemed by every measure, in that he couldn’t stop. Was he a narcissist though? Gacy and Bundy were.

Many kids are fascinated with animals and insects growing up and Dahmer was encouraged by his dad too. His dad wasn't a bad man and the series depicted road kill being dissected by them. Was Dahmer cruel to live animals?

Yes Dahmer was extremely lonely, isolated and a drunk
But he was also very cruel and violent… So it's hard to feel sorry for someone who committed
such horrific acts without mercy
I do feel sorry that he couldn't seem to help the way he was, but I do think he had choices and he chose to be a monster -

He chose to do it.
It’s like an addict. You can have a problem with alcohol that never goes away. If you abstain from drinking and find other ways to satiate whatever compelled you to drink, you’ll be good. But if you dip in to it a little, it will take a mile and you’ll fall off the wagon.
He had a sexual motivation to kill. Perhaps if he had proper counseling and a better, more stable home life as a kid, he could have found healthier ways to channel his urges. Instead, he did the best he could and at the expense of many.
Stop. -

Yeah I don’t think he had a choice more so than that he had the physical option to not do it. But as sick as he was, I don’t think he was mentally capable of stopping it. Or he would have.
This does not free him of any responsibility. I just think there’s an aspect here that is sometimes overlooked. How being born a monster is a misfortune too. For the person and his family. And I don’t think for one second parents neglect turn people into killers. That is brain damage and complete lack of empathy.
Thats it, I’m going to clown college -

He was ****ed from day one. Or maybe day 600 - however old he was when he had the surgery, if that affected things.
It’s like a pedophile. They can’t alter their sexual urges but they can police their activity, knowing the harm that it does. Jeff knew he killed these people. He said in real life that he didn’t wear his glasses to his trial so he wouldn’t have to see the families’ faces. He felt some measure of shame for what he did, yet did it anyway.
Stop.
