    I love horror movies but I don’t understand how people enjoy true crime. Hearing about terrible things that happened to other people just makes me sad.

      I think there is an interest in trying to understand why people do things that society generally agrees are not acceptable. This sort of dates back to like before written language.

        That’s how it is for me at least. Though I will say that a lot of the true crime podcasts is shit and damn near slop, and some even glorifying the murdere.
