“I was really into this podcast at first, but after listening to it for a few days, I’ve become really put off by it for the following reasons:
1) The host always seems to find a way to infer that religiosity and mental illness are the sole reasons someone becomes a murderer. Like, yeah, I think we all obviously understand that you have to be pretty messed up in the head to murder someone; however, psychologically profiling people based on what you could find on google while recklessly relating mental health disorders with murderers, serial killers, pedophiles, rapists, etc. without an ounce of discretion IS NOT OKAY. People with mental health issues already face enough stigma as it is. Loosely assigning mental health diagnoses to seriously dangerous people w/o disclosing that there are millions of people w/ the same disorders who don’t commit egregious acts (and even possibly live normal lives) is extremely harmful. Likewise, the host has an obvious bias towards the religious community that is quite prejudice - and I say this as an agnostic/atheist.
2) The host blatantly promotes a way for podcasters to share whatever content they want w/o getting demonetized via a loophole. Look, I honestly think that censoring has gone too far, but this lady is someone that I truly think needs to curbed. Her doing this also makes it clear as day that she’s been demonetized in the past, and it’s not hard to see why.
3) There seriously needs to be a content warning for this series. Yes, the host warns listeners when an episode contains difficult content - but, it’s literally like every episode and the stuff that she talks about it outright gruesome. This brings me to my final point:
4) Idk how in the hëłl anyone is able to cover the material that this woman does, to the extent that she does, with such an unaffected disposition. Idk if she’s just desensitized, or what, but it’s really weird and unsettling.
Just do yourself a favor, and skip this. There may be a few good, and admittedly quite interesting episodes, but those episodes quickly become needles in a haystack.”
