This is embarrassing but I cried when SHillary lost to Trump.

I used to regularly listen to true crime
Out of all the liberal media obsessions (Harry Potter, Ted Lasso) this is the one I don't get. It's just so grim and horrible hearing about people like the green river killer or Ted Bundy. Last Podcast on the Left has been the only palatable way for me to hear about that stuff, because they very clearly understand the dynamics. Most of the victims being vulnerable, invisible populations and the perpetrators being cis white guys. Also police incompetence and racism.
I think I've said this on here before, but there is such a vast gulf of difference between true crime trying to prove someone is innocent and true crime just describing horrific events that I think they should be treated as two separate genres. One of them is morally good.
Seriously, it's the only true crime I listen to because they put both the respect and the disrespect squarely where they belong. They don't make fun of the victim, have any respect for the murderer, or make excuses for cops.
The respect for the murderer stuff is what I hate the most. Way too often these stories portray the murderer as some twisted genius playing a game with the noble overworked policemen. They wanna delve into what kind of mental state the murderer has and end up glorifying them as brilliant in some way. It's sick.
Last Podcast on the Left know these murderers are losers and misanthropes. And they evade police mainly by being white guys who don't get questioned because the cops are racist.
