The podcasts don’t give safety tips, or offer self defense courses or practical advice. They revel in salacious drama and personal details of murder on a libidinal level. Let’s stop with this bullshit myth that true crime is “to protect oneself from murder”. It’s entertainment and titillation not serious defensive studies let’s be real.

I revel in violence too sometimes in my entertainment, in video games and action movies. But I don’t use real “true” violence to get off, I use fake and fictional violence at least

I'm not saying people listen to it for safety tips. I'm not even saying it's healthy or good. I think it's a kind of morbid fascination.

yes a morbid, libidinal titillation and excitement. an unhealthy obsession with and fetishization of serial killers
