  I think this is a pretty interesting topic for discussion. So if you finished the video, what do you think? Who are your favourite true crime channels? Do you agree with my takes? I literally got covid by the time it took me to finish this thing so you better be nice. My next video is going to be about the American Pie Cinematic Universe.

  I remember a case Kendall didn’t cover that everyone was asking her to. She specifically said it was because she reached out to the family and they told her they’d rather her not. It’s not hard to be a respectful person.

  I’ve seen people have more respect talking about fnaf lore than YouTubers retelling homicidal tragedies

  My friend was murdered when we were 15 (14 years ago) and thought of someone eating or doing their make up while talking about her case makes me feel physically ill.

  My family friend was murdered in 2022. It was a closed case with plenty of evidence, but made it to Tik tok where I saw THOUSANDS of conspiracy theory comments claiming they have a &quot;bad feeling&quot; about it, they thought her husband &quot;must have had something to do with it&quot;, she had a &quot;secret double life&quot; and many other horrible random claims from complete strangers. I wasn&apos;t even that close to her, but I was so repulsed by the comments I had to stay off of the internet for a while. It is 100% entertainment for these people, and the creators fuel it more. I am tired.

  I had a professor who&apos;s daughters were tortured and murdered by a serial killer. She had to take a multi-year break from teaching to deal with her trauma. After hearing about how deeply it&apos;s ruined her life, it really makes true crime feel extra disgusting and horrible.

  Honestly, the fact that people can stomach food while discussing such awful crimes is so weird to me. I remember reading about the cases of Junko Furuta and Sylvia Likens, and the sheer depravity of what they went through made me nauseous and avoidant of food.

  I didn’t even realize how bad this stuff is…like I can’t imagine having a loved one brutally murdered or r@ped and someone is talking about it while eating pizza and just non chalantly making jokes

  I think the worst thing is that they treat true crime as gossip, which is disrespectful to the victims and everyone involved and you&apos;re right about women consuming true crime as a cautionary tale.

  I am a forensic scientist and this is actually detrimental to us. You get jury pools who think that they are “investigators” so they come to our testimonials thinking they know everything. When what we say doesn’t line up with their expectation of the science (which is a lot more boring and math heavy than most people think) it can cause a subconscious bias. We learned about it in my master’s degree program. We call it the CSI effect
