My mom absolutely mainlines true crime (Dateline, Cold Case, 48 Hours, etc.), and for her I think it's a combination of loving mysteries (she also adores Poirot and the like) and also being fearful of the world in general--both in the generic suburbanite way and in an undiagnosed anxiety way. It's not for me, personally...the world's grim enough as it is; I don't need to expose myself to the details of a bunch of random grisly crimes that don't teach me anything.

Same reasons why people that live sheltered lives seek out gore videos to show how tough they are
And why people that live tough lives avoid traumatic content like that because it's real to them
Westerners are pampered babies who yearn to be validated as rugged frontiersmen rather than fragile 
How many January 6 LARPers repeatedly "trained" their 'resolve' on Liveleak before crying like babies because some cop pepper sprayed them?
Deep down westerners are all that lady that couldn't believe she was pepper sprayed on capital hill that sobbed "They pepper sprayed me, why?? supposed to be a revolution!".
It comes down to a lack of humility and LARP. "If someone tried to do this to me (or my family I would-" so on and so on

All true . I've seen actual war. I'd rather not say the shit I've seen. These guys LARP this shit and some seem to get off on the suffering of others. Its strange.
