I think for a lot of people there's an element of 'what would I do if..?' to it, as well as the voyeuristic side. I'm not that comfortable with it either, but I also feel like I get it.

[(Anonymous)]

At least it isn't the wealthy newspaper barons making the money anymore. True crime will always be popular and profitable.

[(Anonymous)]

The psychology of what motivates people to do what they do is interesting to me, as is the forensics. It's also a comfort to me when there's a properly done investigation to find the answer. When there hasn't been a proper investigation, then I think it's important people know that and understand why it's important.

There are true crime content creators out there who try to be respectful and not overly sensationalistic. I don't like creators who are ghoulish or flippant. (Looking at you, My Favorite Murder.)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not into true crime as a genre overall; I don't listen to the podcasts or watch the documentary reconstruction-type stuff, but I really find the long suspect interviews on Youtube interesting, in the "what motivated this person to do this and wow, they're a huge liar" kind of way.

[(Anonymous)]

I find it interesting because it's changed the way the general public view certain behaviors from making excuses to realizing that oh hey, actually that's really creepy and a big red flag. Particularly when it comes to what emotional abuse looks like in the context of a relationship, or the lower level behaviors displayed by sexual predators that used to just be shrugged off by previous generations.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a really good point.

[(Anonymous)]

The title of the podcast alone.

[(Anonymous)]

+1

Have heard of it and never ever listened to it because to quote the secret maker, that title gives me the ICK to an extreme degree. My "favorite" murder?? Gross. Incredibly tasteless. It just pisses me off when people treat it so casually. These were real people who often have families and loved ones who are still alive, show a little bit of class, damn.

[(Anonymous)]

Yep. And the fact that they call their fans "murderinos".

[(Anonymous)]

The psychology of what motivates people to do what they do is interesting to me

Yeah, as a writer, this is the part that interests me because it helps me write characters who are amoral/don't have thought processes that align with the average person. Being able to learn more about how those kinds of people think helps me make my characters' thoughts more authentic.

[(Anonymous)]

True crime disgusts me. It's not just about the murder/assault victim, it puts their family and friends in such a horrific position as well. It brings back so much grief, so much false hope. All for $$$'s and jackoff sessions.

[(Anonymous)]

Idk I just find the sensationalisation around it so fucking dumb.

'Oooo what drove him to this, how did his genius mind work???'

When the answer is he hates women and cops are incompetent. And honestly not enough True Crime content creators or audiences are anti-cop enough.

[(Anonymous)]

1) "What drove him to this" is one thing, but in the true crime creators I follow, they don't glorify the criminal's intelligence or genius at all.

2) In fact, a lot of true crime creators seem much more frank about the incel-like approach many male killers have towards their female victims - that it's about control, and not seeing women as human beings but as objects or possessions. And some are also frank about what they see as shoddy investigation or situations where the police didn't do their jobs well and an innocent person paid the price.

[(Anonymous)]

Some True Crime podcasters are more ethical than others. I really like Gabulosis on YouTube, for instance. You can tell she genuinely cares, and she mostly covers cases that are 20+ years old. I still prefer the vintage cases she does, because 20 years isn't that long ago.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. I think it's possible to approach it in a more ethical way, OR in a wildly sensational, tasteless way. Some are much better than others in that regard.

[(Anonymous)]

I really like the part of the true crime community that focuses on what we can learn from these, not the part that just wants to hear gory details. When a podcaster is going through a series on a certain person or people and they point out something like "and this is the fourth person to ask the police to look into this," or "it was swept under the rug because that was the DA's son." Like, here's what you can expect to see when these crimes happen, and this is the circumstances that lead to those road blocks getting knocked over.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I like to hear about the investigative process, especially if it reveals the strengths or weaknesses in law enforcement's approach to solving crimes. Change has been slow, but it's happened because of harsh lessons learned when people turn up dead and the investigation focuses on what led up to it.

[(Anonymous)]

DA
Agreed! I don't do the true crime stuff much anymore, but when I did, it was due to the stories that came along with the, "This is more than about this specific crime," and tied in issues of our communities and/or society.

Most times I feel like people get caught up in the sensationalism of real life crimes, so it becomes more of just another part of the commodity of sensationalism rather than an effort to question how the crime is a reflection of our systems and what can we learn to do better for our communities.

[(Anonymous)]

Can't really share recs because what I listen to is not in English, but I stick to creators that actually involve and interview the victims' family members. With unsolved cases the family are often even the ones pushing for the podcast/video to be made because it might bring attention back to a forgotten case and perhaps bring some new developments. Obviously the podcaster is still making money from it, but at least the family gave consent.
