Omg someme else noticed how horrible those crime vids are? I thought I was the only one.

Fucks me off. "Evil teens" my ass. Teens can't be evil, they're just kids, fuck off. They don't even know what they're doing half the time.

True crime stuff always has this really fucked "some people are born bad" energy to it. Treating people who commit crimes like they were born criminals, and the world would be better off if they were locked in prison (or worse) before they could walk.

I think there are certainly monstrous people (see Thompson and Venables) but these are such rare cases and true crime channels make it look like the norm. It creates paranoia. Some of my relatives think if you let your child go outside alone even for a second they'll be kidnapped and murdered. They also think porn and drugs are responsible for such an "increase" in crime when in reality its probably that crime reporting in the way it's currently done wasnt a thing before 80s

Its not just true crime channels but also the news.
