IMO, the most vocal parts of fandom are frequently mistaken for being representative of fandom. Everyone knows about tinhatters in the Supernatural and Sherlock fandoms, for example. But they're the vocal minority. Fandom often struggles with this idea that there are plenty of people who watch the same media, but don't participate much further. They don't read or write fanfic, create fanart, go to conventions, engage in meta discussions, etc. They just watch the show/movie and go on with their lives.

Tragedy and murder grabs peoples' attention, and it's usually shocking or repugnant. It absolutely gets the lion's share of attention and some of it is ghoulish, like the My Favorite Murder podcast another anon mentioned. But there are lots of people who watch true crime who aren't like that, and it shouldn't be controversial to say so, but I've observed that FS is really weird that way.
