[From 2023] Guardian bingo time: "Why do women love true crime so much? I have a theory: The explosion of interest in true crime coincides with the rise of online dating. I suspect those things are more linked than they appear." 'Article' is as bad as you might expect. (archive.is)

"Why do women love true crime so much?

Let me guess, it's men's fault?

Oh.

Ahahaha.

I'm both amused and depressed now. It's disappointing how fucking easy this game is.

Yeah, I thought she might have a point on initially coming across this, but it only took a cursory read to realize that she very much didn't, lol...

It's quite a stretch (in addition to being extremely predictable, as you point out), I must say...

not using dating apps and constantly trying to go out with total strangers.

"I went to some stranger's house to screw, who is effectively infinitely stronger than me. I felt disrespected and unsafe!"

always a load of actual schizophrenic drivel that can mostly be solved by not using dating apps and constantly trying to go out with total strangers

That's a nonstarter because it would involve finding a hobby that doesn't involve getting dicked by deadbeats.

The True Crime viewers are mostly leftists too. Between the Gen X clueless pro-Hillary voters all the way down to the TikTok brainrot-addled 16 year old who saw their favorite "influencer"make a 1 minute video about today's "big thing" and claims they're nonbinary.

It's fucking infuriating because True Crime is kinda on the edges of the conspiracy/the FBI and CIA actually killed JFK and MLK/9/11 was an inside job community because a lot of mysterious deaths are essentially true crime material (Who killed Seth Rich again?)

But there are so many fucking clueless fucking women in that community that interacting with them is frustrating. They always have the default leftist opinions on things, and of course dumb shit like trigger warnings and always, always simping for the Alphabet Mafia if they can put them in a positive light.

Outside of that, I actually like true crime from the point of view as a guy. Since I do not know a lot of these people I don't quite get the emotional connection like these mentally ill women get, but I do find the mystery aspect of it intriguing. There's a "logic" to how these crimes are solved, and it's often involved putting a bunch of puzzle pieces together and trying to figure out what they actually mean and how they're related to each other.

You might go from point A to B to C, find point Z along the way but be completely missing the shit in the middle. And if you want to see someone get locked up, you need that shit in the middle to do it.

But I know for wine moms and these other types, they like to talk about all the victims and whatnot, and they simp even harder if it's a minority and/or a woman.

And they also ignore the 14/60 pound gorilla in the room for a majority of these cases as well.

Guardian- victimhood fetish fantasy porn

Because they want to enjoy the idea of being a victim, and also the drama of dangerous stuff without actually being in danger?

oh, no, it's mens fault.

"The real mystery is, is he seeing someone else?” said another woman I spoke to. “There’s no trust any more and that’s why so many women check their husbands’ and boyfriends’ phones.”"

If you don't trust who you're with, why are you with them? Dumb cunts.

"“Nobody has to say if they’re seeing other people anymore, which makes us crazy, so we’re constantly trying to find out online,” said a woman I know."

Women decided they didn't want to commit so men checked out, women most impacted. Fuck off, dumb cunts.

TheImpossible1 wasn't wrong when he said women seem to have a victimhood/abuse fantasy. They just refuse to admit it. Truecrime is a way to indulge in that shit.

All you have to do is venture into any space that doesn't explicitly disallow feminist dogma for proof of this. They will go out of their way to derail any and every conversation to make it about how oppressed and victimized they are. It's quite literally all they talk about.

And even more pathological, they'll make up scenarios in which they might theoretically be victimized if they run out of Very Real stories. They'll get together and start imagining what it would be like to be kidnapped and raped in a dungeon every day for 20 years. And they do it pretty much every day, everywhere they go.

Feminism is a rape fetish cult disguised as an empowerment movement.

Doxxing groups somewhat like what you outline there do already exist...

https://archive.is/LfHjb

From what I saw of the discussion of that, elsewhere, it sounds like a similar forum drove at least one man to near-suicide, and even when someone put up a fake profile on there, the women/bots involved still made up stories about them, and tried to defame that (fake) individual...

So this does already exist. Unfortunately it stands to only get worse, as it becomes "officially endorsed", as you point out...

It’s “Comment Is Free” so she may not even be an actual journalist…

Honestly, I wondered about that myself, but I am yet to get around to checking the “author accreditation”…

It’s “Comment Is Free”

Is it? I don't see that catchphrase anywhere but in the URL. It's not on the actual website anywhere.

In case you didn't know, 'Comment Is Free' was the name of the Guardian's opinion column section, where user comments and debate used to be encouraged. It was essentially a forum.

They shut all of that down years ago, partly because their desired narrative would often get btfo by user comments, but also as part of the wider comment section shutdown which happened across the entire internet. For some reason (spoiler: it's incompetence) they haven't removed the last vestige of CiF from the back end of their site, so it shows up in the URL, reminding people it used to exist. 'Comment is free' in the url doesn't mean anything any more, other than that the Guardian is 'free' to print whatever they want, completely unchallenged.

That bitch is a journo all right.
