its scary stories to tell in the dark but for upper middle class white libs who are (comparatively) alienated from violence by their own money
I used to stare at those pictures before bed so I'd have cool nightmares. It never worked.
lol that rules, i'm surprised i never thought of that bc those pics ruled.
i knew someone who made some screenprinted shirts with the artwork on them but i never hit him up before he moved away :(
In my experience this is correct, my grandma was in her 80s watching murder documentaries in a neighborhood where the cheapest house was like 250k lmao
That may be generally true, but in my experience it is mostly women (not all 'white') who listen to it. I think it is a way of dealing with the the anxiety of being a woman in a world that makes them unsafe.
The podcasts don’t give safety tips, or offer self defense courses or practical advice. They revel in salacious drama and personal details of murder on a libidinal level. Let’s stop with this bullshit myth that true crime is “to protect oneself from murder”. It’s entertainment and titillation not serious defensive studies let’s be real.
I revel in violence too sometimes in my entertainment, in video games and action movies. But I don’t use real “true” violence to get off, I use fake and fictional violence at least
I'm not saying people listen to it for safety tips. I'm not even saying it's healthy or good. I think it's a kind of morbid fascination.
yes a morbid, libidinal titillation and excitement. an unhealthy obsession with and fetishization of serial killers
