He tried to warn us about true-crime brain rot in 2007, but we didn't listen.

    The answer I usually receive for that is that women primarily watch true crime because it teaches them the warning signs of domestic violence, which is a line of argumentation I don't even want to begin to get into.

      Do they cover domestic abusers as true crime because it doesn't lend itself well to a narrative story structure. And it's not really much of a mystery

      Can fantasy crime not do this? You could easily have true crime that completely glosses it over too.
