“My major issue with true crime is the white-centricism of it. The host begins the podcast with a reference to an article she wrote about the effects of social media on empathy. Well, a white teenager’s level of empathy is verrry different from a BIPOC teenager’s. Furthermore, the victim is called or referred to as angelic in every other sentence (literally), but then described in a not very angelic way. My issue is not what she did. She was a teenager and did normal teenager things. My issue is that only white teenagers are given this privilege. BIPOC teenagers are not given this right. Given that the audience is mostly likely predominantly white, people will disagree with me due to defensiveness. I’m not sure if I’ll finish this podcast because it’s getting nauseating to hear this exaggerated narrative.”
