im sure most of yall know what happened with that. and what happened to that poor woman and those two beautiful babies made me sick in the head and to my stomach as well.

Not surprised women are fed up with men shit like that case makes it extremely justifiable.

How do people make this kind of stuff their "hobby"

Same reasons why people that live sheltered lives seek out gore videos to show how tough they are

And why people that live tough lives avoid traumatic content like that because it's real to them

Westerners are pampered babies who yearn to be validated as rugged frontiersmen rather than fragile anti-cracker-aktion

How many January 6 LARPers repeatedly "trained" their 'resolve' on Liveleak before crying like babies because some cop pepper sprayed them?

Deep down westerners are all that lady that couldn't believe she was pepper sprayed on capital hill that sobbed "They pepper sprayed me, why?? supposed to be a revolution!".

It comes down to a lack of humility and LARP. "If someone tried to do this to me (or my family I would-" so on and so on

All true . I've seen actual war. I'd rather not say the shit I've seen. These guys LARP this shit and some seem to get off on the suffering of others. Its strange.

🤷‍♀️ because some of its interesting and you avoid the stuff with triggers respective to your experience, also there's a big difference between zoning out to slop on tv/youtube vs the podcast community which i think is what we all mean when we say "true crime community". Those people are nuts.

I just like documentaries on cold cases and killers they managed to finally catch. It's like mystery and investigation and then a bit of catharsis when they catch them too.

I dunno same reason people will sit online all day and surround themselves with constant negativity and triggering content. Its probably different for everyone.

My mom absolutely mainlines true crime (Dateline, Cold Case, 48 Hours, etc.), and for her I think it's a combination of loving mysteries (she also adores Poirot and the like) and also being fearful of the world in general--both in the generic suburbanite way and in an undiagnosed anxiety way. It's not for me, personally...the world's grim enough as it is; I don't need to expose myself to the details of a bunch of random grisly crimes that don't teach me anything.
