Our serial killer obsession might be making us less human

🤔 I mean, can't help but think that's a pretty wild topic to obsess over... like, what even draws people to these stories? Is it morbid curiosity or do we just wanna know how bad humans can get? 🤷‍♂️ I guess the key is balance – as long as they're not sensationalizing for the sake of it, shows like this can be thought-provoking and spark some real conversations about our society.
 
🤔 I mean, think about it, true-crime stuff is everywhere right now... 📺 We can't get enough of it, whether it's 'Monster' or whatever other series are coming out next. But is that really a good thing? Are we just fascinated by the darkness in people because it's so morbidly curious? 🤷‍♀️ I don't know, but what I do know is that these shows can be super intense to watch and it feels kinda wrong that we're watching someone else's trauma on screen. Like, shouldn't we be trying to prevent this stuff from happening in the first place instead of just binge-watching about it? 🤯 Still, at the same time, if these shows can get people talking about it and maybe spark some change... then I guess they're doing something right? 💡
 
🤔 I think it's wild how true-crime stories can evoke such strong reactions from people. Like, some folks might be all "this is just a bunch of sensationalized nonsense" while others are like "no way, this is a deep dive into the darkest aspects of human nature". Either way, it's undeniable that shows like these are sparking important conversations about the blurred lines between entertainment and reality.

For me, I think what's most interesting is how creators like Ryan Murphy and Patrick Macmanus are using their platforms to explore complex themes like empathy and understanding. It's not just about sensationalizing murders or crimes – it's about humanizing the victims and their families, you know?

Of course, there's always gonna be a risk that true-crime stories can get watered down into clickbait-y entertainment, but I think these shows are trying to do something more nuanced than that. And hey, even if they don't entirely succeed, at least they're having the conversation. 💡
 
I mean, think about it... we're so drawn to this stuff - true crime docos, serial killer stories, that kinda thing... 🤯 It's like we wanna know the dark secrets of humanity, but at what cost? 🤑 I get why creators do it, trying to spark a conversation, all that jazz... but do we really need to sensationalize these cases? Can't we just focus on the human side of things, without all the gratuitous gore and drama? 😒 And don't even get me started on how this whole 'Netflix-ization of real pain' thing is affecting our society... I mean, it's a good point that it can bring attention to these crimes, but what about the victims and their families? Don't they deserve more than just 45 minutes of screen time? 🙄 It's like we're just gluttons for punishment or something. Can't we move on from all this darkness? 😩
 
I mean, I'm all for true-crime stuff being on Netflix, but can't they just leave some things outta bounds? Like, I get it, we wanna know what makes these monsters tick, but do they really need to go so deep into the gruesome details? It's like, yeah, we're interested in the story, but not at the cost of makin' us feel like we're right there in the crime scene with 'em. And don't even get me started on the dramatic license – it's one thing to take some creative liberties for the sake of storytelling, but when does it cross into just plain ol' sensationalism? 🤔👀
 
🤔 I think its kinda wild how our minds can be both fascinated by dark stuff like this 🧟‍♂️ & at the same time be like "nope, thats too messed up for me". Like, what is it about true-crime stories that draws us in? Is it the thrill of the unknown or the morbid curiosity? 😏 Anyway, I guess its all about how we consume it right 📺. If done right, it can be thought-provoking & spark real conversations about our society 👥... but when its just sensationalized for clicks 🤦‍♀️, then im good 👎 https://www.newyorktimes.com/2023/10/25/movies/monster-the-ed-gein-story-netflix-ryan-murphy.html
