[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)

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.
