Yeah, this is definitely a fandom where I enjoy the canon and maybe check out some fan work if it's recced, but otherwise stay far, far away.

Oh that is a sucky situation. Your friend definitely over estimates their limits and isn't helping by cancelling so last minute. It sucks that they have a health issue that interferes so much with their life, but it isn't the groups fault and I totally understand dropping them.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, agreed with this secret. As someone who also has a limited number of spoons, being in denial about it and committing to more than you can handle is one of the issues you have to face. There's no getting around it - you HAVE to prioritize, or you're going to end up exhausted, disappointed and you're going to frustrate everyone who has to deal with you and your denial.

It's pretty shitty of your ex-friend to accuse people of ableism rather than taking responsibility for her own health and tendency to overestimate herself.

[sabotabby]

Oh, I can relate on both sides. Nearly everyone in my old gaming group is one kind of spoonie or another (including me) and it basically fell apart because we all bit off more than we could chew. Whereas my current gaming group is also more spoonie than not but we make an effort to work around this in terms of planning. It's hard but it's doable.

[(Anonymous)]

I had this when I was GMing, I even set it up so they could play using skype. They still kept flaking.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, this is ableism. There are plenty of accommodations available. Two my group had used are 1) the person plays a character that can be intermittent, ie not so integral to the balance of the party that it would greatly affect the outcome, or 2) you can’t make it, someone else plays your character along with their own that session.
*shrug* We’ve had two members with cancer and made it work because we cared about them. You’d have figured something out if you actually wanted this person to continue to be in the group.

I honestly agree with you. It's weirdly disingenuous. And while yes, I'm very interested in the story of the victims - especially their family's story depending on the case - part of why I enjoy true crime is catharsis. I'm not getting that out of ignoring the psychology behind the perpetrator, or how their crimes were an extension of things that might have happened to them. I don't think it's disrespectful to enjoy and be fascinated by that part of things, but there's so many people who ARE disrespectful in the true crime world that it's really hard to feel that way sometimes lol.

[(Anonymous)]

IMO it pretty much just boils down to people not thinking that true crime should exist.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd rather listen to an hour of the killer's MO in detail instead of hearing how much the victims lit up a room.

[(Anonymous)]

Not to invalidate your point at all, but I often do listen to/read true crime because I'm more interested in the victim's story. Not that I'm opposed to a good lurid serial killer bio, but when I get really into true crime, it's because I feel like my life is shit and only getting worse, and I just want to hear a story about somebody having a worse day than I am and be all cathartic about it. I often stick to "unsolved" stuff because I know that means I won't have to sit through any boring stuff about the killer.

(Even leaving aside the "crime victim" part, victim-focused true crime is one of the only places you get lots of detailed stories of incredibly ordinary people having incredibly ordinary lives; most other stuff is carefully curated to clean up the messy and/or boring and/or ugly and/or nonsensical parts, even if it's supposed to be "ordinary".)

That said, I often find the stuff that focuses on the victims feels way more exploitative than the stuff that focuses on the killers. Like I don't give a damn if someone violated Jeffery Dahmer's privacy or wrote an unfairly unflattering portrait of Charles Manson, but average person who had a very bad day doesn't actually deserve that.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm interested in true crime and in real-life disasters. I'm looking for the same things in both, I think. I want to know how and why it happened and if there's anything to do to help prevent it or anything specific to watch out for.

Is this actually going to amount to anything or is it just a symbolic move? Because I imagine both Elon Musk and JK Rowling have plenty of lawyers to help them wriggle though legal loopholes, or drag out any court cases until it goes away.
