i sort of understand why people would obsess over that genre, but i did not understand the rash of twitter libs framing disliking it as misogyny. where does that even come from

love being a woman & being accused of misogyny because i think true crime stuff & tarot cards are lame. it rocks

that you're helpfully getting KJU's exclusive pop culture takes raw and unfiltered via state media?

idk that even people on the NK-defector-propaganda-train are telling people they execute people over smuggled dvds anymore - the last one I watched told an amusing anecdote about a kid he went to school with getting sent home without a shirt because he'd worn imported surplus Team USA Olympic gear he bought at a market without recognizing/connecting the gigantic "USA" english lettering on the front with the public depictions of the U.S. (but that was the extent to which anything happened)

the audience for true crime poo poo is largely women, so hating it is tantamount to hating women. this is their genuine logic. you will see the same arguments made for (as you mentioned) thinking astrology/tarot is silly and not liking YA novels

The Chappelle stuff is giving me the impression that some of the big media conglomerates think they can stop being woke now. That was always seen as a concession by the people in charge, however useless it was at actually helping people get real change. The CNN Cuomo still has his job too despite having those sexual harassment allegations come out.

We're in a weird spot where the US state is ending pandemic social program with little pushback in the public, but labor militancy unrest is rising. Media specifically could have a major strike, which may lead the owners of some outlets doing some wild poo poo to try to suppress the people they consider lesser.

like, in 2020 the response from Netflix would have been a trigger warning before the show and a press release about how they've consulted with Trans leaders while recognizing the need to allow the voices of prominent Black artists like Chapelle to be heard.

That's not the true crime podcast my partner listens to but the one she does is these two American women going "ohmigawd, I love her glasses they're like SO cute. She looks like, a real 90s kid you know?
Anyway her body was never found but her 6 year old brother did find her severed head in their pool and killed himself"

a lot of women into this stuff imagine it's teaching them to "protect themselves" from rapists, murderers, and other unsavoury characters, like you'll learn how to spot the Ted Bundys among us by listening to enough podcasts. not to say violence against women isn't real but the lurid framing of a lot of the genre highlights crimes that are statistically very rare. thinking "true crime" is often exploitative and gross means you don't want women to be able to protect themselves!!

that overwritten scene with don johnson was played straight enough that i think it was supposed to make the viewer uncomfortable, but it seems that zahlers whole deal is closer to LVT-style trolling of his audience/critics than a sign that he's "alt-right" or whatever. Gibson as a racist cop was inspired casting lol

yeah, true. the true crime stuff is probably the stuff of theirs i like least, actually, except for when it's like the manson family or whatever where it intersects with their freakier proclivities. in terms of their true story stuff i prefer when they do like the donner family or the cult stuff. or the lobotomy series, that was some real "gently caress the Kennedy family forever" poo poo

The most uncomfortable part of the movie for me was the entire subplot with Jennifer Carpenter, but I just told myself that that was part of the genre that the film was set in/was emulating.
