There is a whole bunch of podcasters making podcasts about serial killers, but there doesn't seem to even be one serial killer making podcasts about podcasters. Quite frankly I don't think that's fair at all!!!

i hate these podcasts where the hosts are just tryna make each other laugh all the time. love having stuff interrupted for another tepid geek humour bit. i dunno how unbearable the ones run by actual lushes are with this but i assume it's similarly so ones where it's some lone guy telling the facts in a monotone? yeah, that's what podcasting was made for

Cowslips Warren posted:I mean I have read about serial killers for years, but I prefer the solved cases, and more of how they got caught, which very rarely has to do with the police doing their loving jobs. I admit I did enjoy the Dahmer show on Netflix, but I know a lot of people thought the ending was flat. Well dude, his ending was flat, there was no mass shootout with cops where only bad guys get hurt, and no snappy one liners, the dude was beat to death by a loving mop. I like how the Night Strangler was finally caught and literally curb stomped by a random mob, and the police had to save him Thank you random mob for your service

Cornwind Evil posted:Like I said. Go after the 'less dead'. "No one cares" if someone kills a bunch of sex workers or gay teenage boys. Basically, don't kill white heterosexual people and you're golden for a while. I understand your approach, but personally I feel putting safety and risk above all strips the endeavour of a lot of its artistry. But to each their own

They don't make murder podcasts, they make podcasts about murder. You make a murder podcast, you're getting arrested after episode one. Unless nobody watches it, which I suppose is a very real possibility.

My wife loves this one and I can't stand. It's women drunk on wine, swearing, making unfunny jokes, and using people's death for light hearted entertainment. Why are there so many women into this stuff? There is that documentary on Netflix with that Louie Theroux clone guy, and he goes on a Jeffrey Dahmer walking tour in Milwaukee. The while tour is filled with women whooping it up.

Sometimes it's because women are so heavily on the receiving end of such violence. Reading about violent people can help you avoid the "mistakes" of others, like how hitchhiking went from extremely popular in the 70's to something you avoid at all costs today because of highly publicized cases like Bundy and Kemper. The Gift of Fear is considered a self-help book because it advocates instinct, details how predatory people think and operate, lists warning signs that someone is trying to manipulate you, and gives you ideas on how best to escape an escalating situation. There's even a section on how to handle stalkers. You learn about what killers target and what they avoid. And then other women are drama junkies and think they could fix Alcala with kisses. Those women are gross. Maybe your wife is gross.

I am very into investigative podcasts about human interests and human rights cases, but the true crime podcast and YouTube industry that has popped up that's just people reading wiki articles and riffing is indeed disgusting AF and massively disrespectful to the victims, who are treated like sideshow attractions. These are real people, not characters in a show for you to dish about. gently caress you, My Favorite Murder and the like.

Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:This argument p much falls apart as soon as you realize they habitually consume it like junk food It's reasonable to cover a wide range of cases. You're not going to learn everything from just covering a few because helpful advice can pop up just about anywhere. But if you're obsessed with everything involving a specific serial killer, then you're in Group Gross. But as an example, every time I hear about a case where the cops blatantly lie about a 24 hour/42 hour/72 waiting period before investing a disappearance, it further cements in my brain that I need to raise absolute cain if I'm ever told that. Which goes against every instinct I have.

i thought people who love this stuff have lives which are mostly safe and a bit boring so it's a harmless way to seek some excitement. people don't just want to think happy and healthy 100% of the time because there's nothing to compare it to. i think it mostly gets treated as fiction with the occasional 'oooh it actually happened' thought thrown in. it's easier to write stories based on true events because you don't have to invent them, and the audience can get invested in things more easily because they don't have to think 'well that wouldn't happen' because it did. i don't think it really hurts anybody to have some mythology about decades old far away serial killers. if these people actually met one they'd probably react appropriately. maybe if it's a more recent case where the people involved are still processing then it's sleazy but otherwise, who cares.

Has anyone ever been to "Zak Bagans Haunted Museum" in Las Vegas? Zak Bagans is a guy from one of those garbage ghost hunting shows. I thought the museum sounded interesting at first, as it has a bunch of supposedly cursed objects. But it turns out they have a bunch of murderobilia. Bloody mattresses where people were killed on, some kettle that a cannibal used to cook people, Chris Farley polaroids, and Jack Kevorkians van. So gross. I find fictional horror stories and supernatural stuff fun, but anything based on real life is beyond disrespectful to the victims and their families.

I like how for the crypto scams they have to be very specific about which scam they are detailing. It’s interesting how most times when amateurs try to insert themselves into investigations they either waste police time or whip up hysteria against totally innocent folk (Reddit & the Idaho killings), but in the subgenre of cold cases involving bodies of water and YouTubers with free time and dive equipment they are helpful. quote:Scuba-Diving YouTuber Finds Car Linked to Teens Missing Since 2000 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/10/...&smid=share-url
