All my mom watches is all of those Murder shows on cable like Forensic Files and the like. She's been watching this since I can remember and long before I ever heard the term "true crime". I legit think shows like this are why so many gen-x and boomers are terrified of the world. They all open talking about how the small town that the case happened in was using almost identical language each time, " here in x we don't lock our doors, everybody knows everybody, things don't happen like this in x, we stop and help people on theroad ". And as a person who grew up in a small town I'm like what? Everyone there is the most paranoid castle doctrine ass motherfucker I've ever met. They don't know their neighbors and they treat anyone who they don't know as threats. Then the show goes at lengths to show you how kind, pretty, full of life, etc the victim is so they can then go into detail about how they were brutalized.

I don't know where I'm going with this rant it's just something that's been on my mind for a while.

"True Crime" + Dr. Phil did more damage to American minds than lead poisoning could ever have hoped to.

Dr Phil should play Minecraft just for the troubled teen industry stuff alone. Listening to The Game was heartbreaking.

Is "The Game" a podcast? I tried to find it but nothing relevant is coming up

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

It's a series of podcast episodes Trueanon did about the TTI. Try searching for Trueanon The Game.

As said below, it's a series Tru Annon did. If they didn't unlock the full thing I'll find it for you. It's their magnum opus.

Edit: turns out they uploaded it all as a YouTube Playlist. I can't think of a trigger warning that wouldn't apply to this, it's really dark.
