This is definitely something I've been thinking about over the past year. If this is hurting the families even more, I don't want to be a part of it. 

I dunno…. I think it’s fine to keep enjoying what you’re enjoying, especially if it’s victim conscience! 

I'm a huge true crime fan, and always have been. But, lately, I'm starting to feel bad for enjoying it so much. Scrolling through true crime TikTok, I've also seen a bunch of victims' family members who have created videos admonishing some of the very documentaries and projects I've seen for using their relative's case as entertainment. I've never been in the world of glorifying serial killers or anything by any means (I've always looked for victim-conscious content), but I can't help but wonder whether I'm contributing to something Very Bad.

Do you ever feel guilty enjoying true crime?
