True Crime Fans / True Crime Influencers / True Crime Community / #TCC / #actually necro / CrowdSolving - Shipping killers, profiting off the dead, necrophiles, and so much more!

[LikeAStone 2.0]

I feel like there hasn’t been a proper thread to watch and discuss the True Crime Community and the absolute depth it covers. The general insanity and tone-deafness of this community is off the charts, and I’d like this thread to serve as the chronicling of the community and some of the antics they frequently involve themselves in.

To start, a basic statement that will come in handy later:

Idolizing serial killers is disturbing.

So, let’s start to break this all down.

1.) True Crime Mukbangs:

Mukbangers should be a common sight for any Kiwi, they really are a lolcow race all of their own. While, yes, you are allowed to sit and make one of these god awful videos and talk about whatever you want, there is a bit of gross feeling that comes from watching someone eat thousands of calories of food while talking about incest, rape, and murder.

Currently, the top of this trend is an Asian woman named Stephanie Soo, who has made an entire career off stuffing her face while using the horrors of another for her profit.

Link YouTube Video.
She was recently called out by other faggots I mean, TikTokers for doing just that.

2.) True Crime Cleaning

Another recent trend that has popped up on TikTok as of recently is True Crime Cleaning.

It is exactly what it looks and sounds like. People use TikTok to post their jobs... of cleaning the scene of a murder. They film themselves... removing the leftovers of decaying bodies... and post it on TikTok for clout and money.

Spoiler: Dead Body Scrubbing

3.) CrowdSolving

This entry in particular is just outright hilarious. CrowdSolving is, apparently, a new popular trend in which conventions or large groups of people will try to solve real fucking cold cases with supervision by retired Alphabet Agency Glowies and hosts of Dateline on NBC.

Link to CrimeCon website.
It has been popularized at CrimeCon. A real event for real 40 year old white women and overweight Redditors to attend.

Of course nothing has been solved by these idiots, especially with 300 attendees and the... oh that's right the families of the the actual murder victims sometimes being in attendance. A lot of them are not paid, and from some of my reading while learning about this topic, a lot of them rather not be there in the first place.
They have figured out there terrible merch department.

Yes, but you literally aren't one.

wow what a surprise. Just look at those sizes.


4.) Loving Serial Killers

You know Charles Manson, the guy who had a cult that went out and murdered for him? Yeah same concept applies here.
Thanks to the lovely internet, serial killers now have their very own fandoms. With fanart and message boards and love and support. The problem is, that regardless of how they look, they are all still monsters and fucking murderers.

Ted BundyXDahmer btw in case you were wondering.

Most recently I'm sure you heard about the Netflix Dahmer show that caused a bunch of shit because people thought he was hot. However, the most famous/notorious of this little love-a-killer section is the fans of the Columbine shooting. While Vice News typically can, and should, kill themselves for being a faggoty news company, they did do a really nice job on this piece about the Columbine fans and I recommend giving it a watch.

It’s real.

I think this is a good thread to have since the Nexpro/horror thread is more about true crime videos on YouTube. Tiktok is a whole different rabbit hole of depravity.

Also don’t forget the legend herself doing a Mukbang true crime video.

Imo, if there is milk, it will be with the individuals in the community, not the creators.

The examples you give might be distasteful, but they are not exactly funny.

These people do this for a living. They might fuck up here and there, but it's never really that entertaining.

 

[Windows Error 98]

There’s already the Serial Killer fangirls thread but that one’s really out of date and no one uses it. IMO this thread is covering too much. The murderer fangirls should have their own thread and the YouTube fans/shitty online detectives have their own. There’s not much overlap.

Do True Crime beauty queens count?

I am such a sucker for mismatched titles and thumbnails

I have given this community a nickname. The mental illness community

 

[Super Saiyan Hitler]

Modern true crime sucks because people exploit the tragedies to practice their creative writing skills or to get famous and rich. I kinda hope that we get a true crime 'influencer' serial killer one day. Maybe BetterHelp will sponsor him too.

Can half the human species really be lolcows?

I somewhat disagree.

Although there are many cringy/exploitative individuals (Crime circus comes to mind, I can't fucking stand this retard) in the community, there are also really good ones.

I personally often listen to raw interviews as background noise at work, or channels like EWU, Dreading, JCS (RIP) and many others I can't recall.

I feel like the good channels have really started to perfect their craft after the JCS craze, and it has been overall beneficial to the people who actually enjoy the rawish type of content in this genre.

Edit :

Also, I am really not convinced about the "modern" argument.

TV version of true crime is truly a crime in itself. Shitty footage and a narrator repeating the same shit over and over to fit with ad breaks. It was not better before.

 

[Toolbox]

It’s real.

I wonder how the relatives of those whose bodies are being scraped off the floor feel about this. I have a feeling they weren't asked at all.

Fuck I hate clicking a video about some crime only to have some fat ass bitch paint her balloon knot face while dribbling shit plagiarising Wikipedia articles.
Kinda surprised there’s not true Crime hot Tub titty streamers

Some of you need to delve into the 'X Reader' world on Wattpad, Deviantart, Quotev, etc.

Pure insanity, hot and written for the taking, and True Crime is no fuckin' different. Tiny PL but I knew a girl back when I was in school that was into this degenerative shit, very obsessed with Bundy and the Columbine niggas. She was apart of this 'TCC' [True Crime Community] that would basically circle-jerk themselves about it. Instagram too, though more under the umbrella (people basically make private accounts so they don't get banned and post pretty crazy shit, she'd show me a few and there were videos of kittens getting their heads cut off, 9/11 edits, the fag flower crown and sepia-saturated pictures, whatever). Haven't talked to her in years but she's a single baby momma now if that tells you anything about these types of people. Someone should go fishing and see if these circles are still up and going, I'm almost 100% sure they are.

Small off-topic, but there's another 'TCC' community out there too. You used to be able to find it when you'd look up 'TCC' on Tumblr, for example. Teacher-Crush Community. Absolutely the creepy shit you'd imagine.

 

[Lead Sammich]

Anybody in a job dealing with dead people who records themselves doing their job and puts it on social media for clout (and profit, essentially) is fucking scum and i hope their death is recorded and posted on shock sites (and by extension our very own "Videos of People Dying" thread).

Really anyone who posts on social media is a retard but bringing dead people whose family didnt consent into it is an even lower level in the scum layer. If someone records their own suicide fine, but posting video of cleaning up decomp inside someones identifiable home should be grounds for termination and never being hired in that field again, youve shown you dont know how to respect the dead at that point.

 

[JamusActimus]

Not sure if it fits there but France's biggest true crime writer was exposed as a mythomaniac in 2020.

The guy claimed he had encounters with more than 100 serial killers
He claimed that he had worked with the FBI
He claimed his wife was killed by a serial killer
He claimed he solved the "Black Delia case"
He claimed he had the dead body of some serial killers in his fridge
He claimed he was a goalkeeper for 7 years for a well know french team

All of this was false.

He also went on a DMCA spree online trying to salvage his reputation.

 

[TokiBun]

What sucks is I feel like five or so years ago content made about true crime like podcasts or videos was more researched and respectful. I have no idea what lead in the water has lead to the community we have today.

Obviously that Dahmer show didn’t help.

 

[Sintharia]

While I find the idea of discussing crime scene clean up utterly fascinating, someone filming it for clout is beyond horrifying.

Also, I agree with TokiBun. There's still some well researched vids out there, but they're harder to find. Everyone's trying to distill it into like 20 minute chunks, and that leaves out a LOT of information.
