  • I have not watched the makeup content, but I used to listen to true crime podcasts. As I have gotten older it has become impossible for me to listen to these though.

    So often they will glorify the killers and try to humanize them. Then the victims are just regarded like pawns in their story.

    After a while I really thought about what it would be like to be these victims and it made me sick. These aren’t scream queens in a horror movie where it is all made up just to scare you. These people went though hell and agony and that should not be used as “content.”

    These were people’s kids, siblings, parents, grandparents, etc. They were loved and innocent and had their lives brutally taken away for no reason or fault of their own. The fact that they are treated as “tallies” or just numbers and names on a killers spree is beyond disrespectful. I can’t imagine seeing my family member that I loved being wrapped up in this content when it must already be so painful that they are gone.

    Now I can’t listen to the true crime murder stuff. Sometimes I will listen to scary stories in the woods or something, but nothing where it is glorifying killing. It’s not good for my mental health.

    Fuck ratings and reviews. I’ve watched terribly rated movies that are gold, and award winning films that are absolute dumpster fire.

    Too many times other people insist on inserting their opinion when it is not requested. A lot will also just go with the tide as well. If others are giving good reviews, then they will do the same.

    I prefer to read a summary of the plot and give it a watch to form my own opinion.
