Nah.

Just like people who are into WWII history aren't one step from Hitler fanboys.

I mean, those types do exist, but I would posit that those particular people, the ones who want to stan murderers, were already delusional and/or hate-filled and just found someone to hang it on.

Most people that I know who are into true crime want to understand why - why this person did this, why it took them so long to get caught, how the investigation worked, what it says about the justice system.

Yep. This describes me, right here. Plus, I find the methods that investigators have used throughout the decades interesting, too-the changes in technology, how people in the past solved cases without some of that technology, the fact that people can take the tiniest detail from a crime scene and reveal a whole lot about the killer or the victim along the way, stuff like that. I like that these shows let us see just how much time and work goes into this job, and it adds to my respect for the people who are dedicated to these kinds of difficult jobs.

I definitely won't argue, though, that some true crime shows/documentaries can indeed be very exploitative and lurid, and can mess with society's perception of how crime solving really works in ways that can screw up and mess with cases (especially with the ones that become national news and play out before our eyes). And I understand some of the theories and reasons behind that psychology, but it still doesn't make the serial killer groupies any less bizarre or disturbing to hear about.

As someone who is into WWII history, this is unfortunately kind of a bad example. Obviously, it's not true of everyone who's interested in the subject, but it's really, really common. One step or two.

One step, two step, red step, goose step...

A lot of people into WWII history are one step from Hitler fanboys, though. And a lot of Civil War buffs are very into white supremacy. Definitely not all, and definitely not most academics, but it's really, really common - much more common than true crime fans being serial killer groupies, I think.

There's a HUGE difference between finding crime as a subject interesting and full-on absolving and obsessing over the killers themselves. That OP doesn't get the difference is concerning.
