True Crime as Male Rage Bait

The above network, Law and Crime, has gone from dubious/questionable/typical "true crime" to full-on incel bait.  It's just another corner of the world that I have to avoid now, for my own mental health.  I'm afraid this is the new "Karen."  It's the next way America's misogynistic, dishonest, capitalist media conglomerate plans to exploit human suffering vis-a-vis true crime.

One reason I don't participate in online discussions anymore is the way people would constantly retort "Well don't watch XYZ then if it bothers you."  Because for people who live with that degree of privilege -- the vast majority of people who enjoy true crime, it's that simple.  It's their world, and survivors are just the squirming roadkill who shouldn't annoy them while they munch popcorn.

When the Jimmy Kimmel fans are sneering, "Don't watch it then" over their shoulders, they're not tallying up how many other people have already told me that. 

They don't know or care how many different corners of the world have to be added to that list of "places that are safe for rape culture and not for me," which now includes Law and Crime Network.  Right?  It's like standing on the globe and being painted into a corner that gets tinier and tinier all the time, like rainforests.  So now this blog that nobody reads is the only place I say anything on the internet, where I don't have to listen to Kevin's misinformed bullshit.

Below is a sample of the fucknuttery that Law and Crime has apparently deemed the best business model for themselves going forward in 2024.  I say this after watching them ramp up the reporting on cases where a white, female teacher has been caught raping students.  And the emphasis is on how minimal the punishment is for child  sexual abuse when women do it, because that really inflames Kevin's sense of victimhood, which is where we hit the cha-ching button in America.

Everything about the comments on that video make me wish I lived on a different plant for real.

The people at Law and Crime Network can't possibly be as ignorant about how criminal justice actually works here on Earth 1 in America, that:

1. Men commit sexual assault at much higher rates than women overall (I'd love to be proven wrong by actual facts)
2. The punishment in America is grossly uneven all the way across the board, nothing is ever fair here
3. Male teachers -- and other authority figures -- routinely get little or no prison time for raping minors
4. Nothing is new about any of this.  Children are the primary abuse targets of women because (a) they're often the caretakers and (b) men aren't vulnerable to women the same way children are, duh
5. The only people who appreciate or enjoy female teachers sexually abusing male children are men.  I've literally never heard any woman admit to finding that hot or sexy.  Meanwhile, back on Earth 1, men eat that shit up all the time.  No, really.  I stopped watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, which I had been enjoying quite well up until then, when they did a "hot for teacher" episode.  Fucking disgusting.
   
6. Men are also the ones who fetishize the Catholic school uniform, and can't be told how shitty that is for real-life Catholic schoolgirls.  There isn't the reciprocal thing where adult women also routinely lust after schoolboys.  Adult women who rape schoolchildren are seen as sick assholes by other women. 
   
7. I've never seen Law and Crime mention the marital status of any male child rapist, and they do it with with the lady molesters often enough.  Why is that relevant, other than to further stoke the male victimhood?
   
8. Not only is she "married," she repeatedly "had sex with" her student -- not "rape" or "sexually abuse" him -- before getting probation only.  So they're perpetrating a double standard in multiple ways with their mega-clickbait, rage-inducing title.
