I don't wanna sound weird/racist, but the "contemporary true crime podcast" genre emanates a sinister MSNBC liberal whiteness I can't properly articulate. Is this off-base?

Only good true crime podcast is trueanon

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

because it focuses on bourgeois/systemic crimes

You have to subvert the genre to make something that isn't ghoulish. In the same vein, I'd say Murderville is alright because the "true crime" in question is a negligent or deliberate wrongful conviction rather than the murder they're convicted of

True crime podcasts are crime porn for suburbanites.

[-] MerryChristmas@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago

The media amplifies and sensationalizes random violence, creating a continuous stream of small and impersonal traumas in its largely suburbanite audience. They understand their complicity in the violence on a subconscious level, but cognitive dissonance prevents them from accepting this on a conscious level. This creates a feedback loop where they repeatedly seek out content to retraumatize themselves in an effort to regain control of their place in these narratives.

But yeah it's mostly some white people shit.

No when I think "true crime podcast listener" I think "white woman with no personality"

[-] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago

not at all. in fact i think i am fully justified in saying that the average true crime podcast is EXACTLY like The Turner Diaries for white women.
