White Americans, I got a question for yall:
Why do some of yall romanticize serial killers????????? They're... killers???????????????????????????
@guerrillarain I think it’s got to be because they are so clever and crafty I guess? I’m not into them or into things like Hannibal, but I did binge on true crime as a teenager and I wonder if it was because in my perception would be something that scary could threaten me? Or possibly the idea that evil could be right next-door to you?
@guerrillarain but I had extremely high anxiety as a kid and as a teenager and the general fascination with true crime and serial killers in my culture really fucked me up.
@ruth Mmm. But I mean, a lot of people indulge in 'true crime' shows right? My 🚩 🚩 🚩 moments are in reference to the glorification, and like wishing you could be friends with those killers and *wearing them*, as opposed to what you've said. Like your words make sense to me. That is understandable idk
@guerrillarain yeah, I admit I will sometimes be impressed by famous women who did shit in history, but generally they poisoned a bunch of men or something. So it’s not the serial killing, it’s the gender vengeance. But I wonder if that has ties to the clever and crafty thing.
