Summary

Welcome to dark dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity. This goes beyond corporate greed and get rich quick schemes, beyond shady products and questionable CEOs. Here, we take a look at the very worst of humanity, to see what evil people are truly capable of. For years now, we’ve seen individuals and documentaries romanticize serial killers. Wanting to get inside the head of these notorious figures is one thing, but wanting to be with them, being obsessed with them, and ‘standing’ them, is another. Not only is it greatly disrespectful to the victims of these monsters, but it’s dangerous, too.

So to all the women out there raising their hands in solidarity of being

Thankfully, I'm not the only one infuriated by this.

Tic-talk trends of primarily young white women saying they wish that Netflix's

domer series had been more graphic or morbid have been circulating and sparking conversations about the way we treat victims in the true crime genre.

One creator has referred to the groups of people hanging on to gruesome details as vultures and ghouls of the true crime community that by and large is made up of people that are fascinated as to why people behave so inhumanely towards one another.

And I agree with him, there is something so beyond off-putting to me to see a woman wearing

Dahmer earrings begging for more morbid details about his murders. But the sensationalist crass, commercial, and disturbingly casual attitude we have

1:26.4

about true crime as a whole is one thing. The way that people become fans and groupies

of serial killers is another. And expectedly, we've seen plenty of this

commenters call them out for it, other commenters state that they feel the same way too.
