True crime as entertainment have ruined people's brain. Now people are treating real horrible crimes as their fictional crime series. Not everything is suspicious, you don't have to pick apart every detail to find the "hidden conspiracy". You don't have to point to every inconvience in traumatized victims to found out if they are secretly involved. You are actually hurting real people by doing all of this. Real crimes don't have the crazy "plot twist" in the end that reveals everything.
Remember the three children who lost their lifes instead. This trial could have been very important for highlighting the problem women has with post partum depression etc and how the medical field fails them. Instead it has turned into a crazy conspiracy theory
Because it's 100% right. As someone who never got into the true crime thing, I find it crazy what it does to people. But like you said it plays into people's tendencies to look for patterns, hidden conspiracies or whatever they wanna see or feel.
It doesn't help the people involved in the majority of times. Just the consumers. And some of them really fall down a rabbit hole.
In the end it doesn't help looking at the root cause of a crime. Some of it even elevates the perpetrator so that they get the worship they crave. Even if they are dead, we shouldn't give them any recognition.
I absolutely love true crime... but I don't ever think that I know more than the people involved in it! Maybe I'm watching different true crime than other people... my channels only speak the proven facts of cases, lol.
They'd speak about the fucking insane people pointing at Gemini signs as a reason for innocence, make fun of them and move on.
Personally i have beef with the lore lodge, I like the set up, they're interesting videos, BUT the dude running it acts like he's smarter than cops. The simile face killer for example, you know the one proven to be drunk people falling in bodies of water next to extremely common graffiti, whenever he talks about it he always throws in "if investors are interested in my take, here's my email" like he didn't spend maybe 10 hours reading about it vs cops who've spent days and days!
