the title alone glamorizes it lol "gilded rage" what kind of my chemical romance song title nonsense

also bill skarsgaard is the one playing this dude tho it's funny he really does look more like gyllenhaal. i hadn't heard this story but i just googled it and every second article seemed to mention how "attractive" he was or how he "cut a handsome figure in his suit" - i wonder how many sad self loathing white women are writing him love letters in jail

“They’re just going to glamorize Tommy. He doesn’t deserve that. Tommy can’t be the victim in this film - people need to remember he was a monster - a calculating, rage-filled psychopath,” said one socialite.

Damn! Go in, Kim Stewart!

Does true crime glamorize the killer too often ?

it does - despite the actors playing a monster, even the positive connotation you have for the actor will reflect to the actual documentary. (i'm not saying this is the case for everyone, but certainly for the GP)

honestly a lot of true crime makes me uncomfortable, especially if it involves very recent cases. i get that people have a fascination with death but it just comes down to getting your entertainment from the pain of others tbqh

Yeah, I mean a lot of the times it does just from the killer being the main character who gets all of the focus and screentime. We spend 90 minutes exploring cherry-picked moments of this killer's life to make him seem... idk the word, human? understandable? And then 10 minutes with the actual victim, not including the time where said victim is being brutally murdered.

Same. I used to be really into true crime and it has become its own entertainment genre. It's fucked.

I mean, humans are constantly seeking a why, it's why religion exists. It's human nature to want to understand why people do horrible things.
