Fuck this. Why give murderers the attention and linger over the graphic details of horrific crimes for entertainment?

[mighty_romance]

For real. Like it's one thing if it's a cold case and putting information out there helps solve it and bring justice and closure to the victim and their family & friends but shit like this completely rubs me the wrong way.

[hazyjayne]

Absolutely. According to Wikipedia seven of Nilsen's victims remain unidentified so I would hope at least this platform is used to raise awareness of these unidentified people.

[insomniachobs]

Yeah, this feels kind of like giving the bastard what he wanted to me. He wanted people to be fascinated by him and what he did

[spellmanian]

Nilsen is so interesting to me, psychologically. I remember he let one of his victims go and I always wonder about his thought process there. Plus his backstory is just... fucked up.

yall ever listen to the podcast crime junkie? i listened to two episodes and they didn't really have an "end result" or like solved or whatever, they just ended the podcast with a most recent update...which i found kinda odd

never listened to any crime/murder podcast before except when i got curious and listened to 'my favorite murder' years ago and i had to turn that shit off

the crime podcasts i've gotten the most out of were all productions from news/media companies doing actual research, securing interviews etc. all the crime podcasts/youtube videos that consist of people basically reading wikipedia/random online articles while making jokes or doing makeup are very weird and unnecessary to me

The only ones I like are ones that just tell the story, facts only, no personal opinions or jokes. So I only listen to Casefile now because almost everything else turns my stomach in their delivery.

i have listened to them, but the way they ass kiss the police pisses me off so i usually avoid them

i don't understand how anyone who consumes a lot of true crime media could ever come to any conclusion other than "the police are terrible at their jobs"

I watched I'll Be Gone in the Dark for Michelle McNamara's story and I haaaaaated hearing the killer's voice on tape and I don't want to hear this man's voice either. The psychology is the only thing I'm interested in. I don't want to give them any attention or notoriety.
