yes, it's pretty much coverage of actual crime cases.

dysnomiav.bsky.social•5 days ago

Its real life crime.

Its misery porn and honestly until everyone involved is dead it's profiting off others suffering.

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

Pretty much. Its actual IRL crimes [usually murders, sometimes even ongoing cases] turned into entertainmrnt

A lot is basically unchecked copaganda

len-toons.bsky.social•2 days ago

Making IRL crimes where real life people have suffered and died into insipid entertainment is one thing, but using it to perpetuate stigmas towards any group of people (especially racial minorities and transgender people) is especially shamelessly skeevy.

Copaganda?? Don’t most true crime things end up exposing how inept the police were in regards to whatever case they’re talking about?

dieselbrain.bsky.social•5 days ago

some do, a LOT do not. a lot of true crime is copaganda in that it reinforces that the world is scary and dangerous and bad-guys[TM] are everywhere around you and our current law enforcement is the only thing standing between us and chaos. any ineptitude is an aberration rather than the norm

I like last podcast on the left’s takes making the perpetrators out to be the goons they are and how much chance plays into their capture, with authorities’ active involvement being irregular if not negligent.

hereticalk9.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ahhhh, that makes sense, I hadn’t thought about it that way before

Yesssssssss! What a definition that is on the semolians!

coffeeslice.bsky.social•5 days ago

Wait so like unsolved mysteries n shit?

fooesus.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes and also cases that have been solved and have interesting content, i.e. interrogations with murderers and such.

timaeusart.bsky.social•5 days ago

Based on a true story type things.

garleansecretary.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yep. EXACTLY that. Real Crimes gutted out for Entertainment

imfactiodalgenius.bsky.social•4 days ago

True crime is a informative se-en-scène within the palatine of television, cinematography, radioing, social media etcetera circumambienting the horrificly genuine y, as the nom de plumbe insiates, true to-life, the worst of the worst of humanity's inhumanity towards their fellow Homo sapiens.

misterstupid.bsky.social•5 days ago

It's like lie crime, but backwards.

coffeeslice.bsky.social•5 days ago

Incredible

shadowssun.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fuck "based on a real story", true crime is "hey lets go bother the relatives of a 20-year-old unsolved murder victim for podcast material". Shit is rancid on so many levels

sqky.bsky.social•5 days ago

“true crime” is a genre of media that documents ~~and often sensationalizes or even glorifies~~ real crimes that happened to real people

mushplush.bsky.social•5 days ago

It’s just podcasters reading off crime reports about murders and stuff, so like, describing the scene of the crime and all that

bebopbun.bsky.social•5 days ago

IMO true crime as a genre is boring and often very predatory, with the very rare exception of covering strange crimes, like the Geoduck black market or someone robbing a donner kebab store at swordpoint for the meat

denzelchambrey.bsky.social•5 days ago

from my understanding yeah, stuff like cold cases, well-known serial killers and stuffl ike that

kazziemono.bsky.social•5 days ago

I didn’t know so many people disliked true crime stuff

I don’t watch it often, but when I do, it’s That Chapter; is he actually that bad though?
