Okay, first of all 10/10 on the picture choice, I snorted.

Secondly, I get the same feel sometimes when a few of my friends talk about true crime and all the podcasts they enjoy and stuff. None of them are really in the "finding criminals sexy" camp though, more that their morbid fascination feels invasive of the families and loved ones of the victims. I don't feel like they're doing anything spectacularly wrong, nor do I fear they're going to commit any crimes themselves. It's just that, like, if I get murdered, I don't like the idea of my friends getting interviewed on a podcast about it, or the details of my life being discussed by strangers who only care about me because something horrible happened to me. TV shows and documentaries about true crime make me uncomfortable anymore because it's all I can think about while watching them.

Wow apparently I have some feelings about this. Anyway, I sympathize and thanks for coming to my ted talk

Yeah you don't...actually listen to these podcasts or know anything about them, do you? In the case of the missing person's podcasts, several times the victim's family have reached out to them for more exposure. In the case of the Millbrooks twins, the families were reaching out because due to racism, the police completely. In other cases (like Serial!) the podcast actually made the cases be revisited in court due to the publicity it brought.

Please actually do some research before you form opinions, okay?

I'm personally not a fan of true crime because it just freaks me out too much to know those things. However, the small amount of true crime stuff I HAVE looked into hasn't been exploitative, just informative. And as other anon said, more often than not the families are reaching out, and very little is released without the family's permission. The details still freak me out, sure, but that doesn't make the genre bad as a whole.
