It’s ok to enjoy weird media, but if you’re using sensationalist narrations about very fringe cases to make generalizations about what you may or may not find in real life, you have a problem. If it makes you feel any better, most humans are generally dumb enough to fall for it from time to time, but you should still strive to do better.
Except this is a very real thing? It’s funny because there’s truth here.
Just reading through it reminded me of just last week visiting my mother and my brothers: my mom and my sister in law went on and on about the crazy ones they listened to recently.
Not judging here, but from my time on dating sites over the last decade I can offer two observations as well: a very large percentage of women seem to be literally obsessed with dogs to the point it’s the first thing mentioned on their profile, and this true crime thing is absolutely real. Nothing wrong with it, just like girls complain that every guy holds up a fish in their photos lol it’s probably a reel thing (sorry, dumb pun) but just because I dont do it doesn’t mean it isn’t overwhelming present.
I’m gonna be honest: I made this comment in response to the people in the rest of the thread claiming they used these true crime shows to “learn to look for red flags”, but if it makes you reconsider if the message of any other media is correct, I’m still fine with the result.
