It’s intriguing how the depiction of the victims has been changed from the fact to what we usually see in films and comics and everything else. Instead of 'filthy, and diseased' we have glamorous and well-kept. But in spite of how incongruous this is to the facts, we accept this. Is that not slightly misogynistic in of itself? 'These women are ugly so let’s have a nice looking girl instead.' Or, on the more gruesome side; would the public rather see a beautiful girl being cut up than an ugly one? I think it's the destruction and mutilation of something beautiful that allows this falsehood to remain accepted in popular culture, in spite of nearly all the other facts having to be meticulously reproduced. As horrid as that may sound.
