I love horror movies but I don’t understand how people enjoy true crime. Hearing about terrible things that happened to other people just makes me sad.
I think there is an interest in trying to understand why people do things that society generally agrees are not acceptable. This sort of dates back to like before written language.
That’s how it is for me at least. Though I will say that a lot of the true crime podcasts is shit and damn near slop, and some even glorifying the murdere.
It’s gotta be like an art vs sadism thing right?
My wife watches only true crime and cop shows. I spend my time playing games and online, but this horrifying parade of humans brutalising other humans in the background is getting to me. I feel damaged, like it’s leaving a stain on my soul. Still she loves it, happy wife happy life eh?
I eventually got my ex some really nice headphones because the literally constant true crime (she would literally fall asleep to it) was driving me driving insane.
I’m going to do a squarespace ad during my selfie-recorded-last-distress-video on my phone just before the killer finds my hiding space, that way my family can afford a funeral for the bits of me he doesnt eat.
I like true crime as well
He was never very good at telling people how he was feeling. He told lies, hurt a lot of people. Some say he even gave them up and deserted them when things got tough. Even those he knew for so long.

There are some who treat the subject matter with respect and some who don’t.
If I got murdered I hope that every single true crime podcast, tv show and youtube tells my story. Please describe me as full of life and deeply caring. Also cut in some stuff about being gone too soon, and don’t mention that I was holed up in my house for months without leaving or speaking to another person before they murdered me.
*before your husband murdered you
That is hilarious. Like the emphasis on how the entertainment hinges on her being white
