The best true crime podcast will always be Criminal. Very little sex/murder, more like a This American Life for crime.
I think in part it’s hyper vigilance and some bits of “Just World” falllacy. When you are raised female, you’re constantly taught shit like always keeping a key ready between your knuckles when you’re walking outside at night, or where best to kick someone, or the debates on whether to shout “help” or something else - to be female is to be taught you are in danger. My mom was fucked up but the shit where she would obsessively show me where all the sex criminals in our neighborhood were wasn’t maybe that unusual.
The “Just World” aspect is maybe if you learn enough you can protect yourself. Listen to enough true crime podcasts and you’ll crack the pattern and protect yourself. Look at all the weird women on Facebook who post about their “close calls” with human trafficking - or even how police departments will feed into that shit.
Then perhaps a more complicated aspect - the most awful crimes are committed by those closest to us. Stranger danger is very appealing as an alternative.

Do any true crime shows share profits with the victims they base their shows on?
-
The true exploitation is profiting off the proletarian murderers labor.

My wife does this, sleeps to forensic files every single night. But I describe one gore murder from a horror film and she starts gagging. I just don't understand.

They want them dead, not dying.

I know you’re mostly joking but from what I understand it’s this:
True crime: tries to answer the “why” and there’s the invisible carrot of “justice” that you hope to get in the end. Unsolved mysteries leave you with a crack itch of thinking you can “figure it out,” like a puzzle.
Gore horror: no “why,” no “justice,” no puzzle, just a brutal description of human suffering. There’s no closure.
That’s just my hypothesis though ¯(ツ)/¯

This is the best explanation of this type of content I have seen!! Totally makes sense!
-
It tracks!

That's easy:
True crime: she is educating herself to murder you.
Gagging over the gore: the main reason your still breathing.

Okay, I'm fucking dead at this LMAOOO

Maybe It's her and all women's Dark Inner psyche trying to get out and expose the inner psychopath but talking about it openly is triggering her natural instinct to repress it.
Try being a complete and total psycho, her inner demons should respond well to that, if she doesn't like it that's just her trying to repress it you have to really make her believe you are a psychopath woman love that.

Anyone can like true crime
-
Absolutely, just like anyone can like makeup and fashion.
In my experience, those are interests shared more between women than men, just like videogames, cars and motorbikes and sports are more commonly appreciated by men.
I think that's the premise of the comic, with no intention of being discriminatory.
-
Aree, though I've seen studies that videogames are closer to 50:50 now than ever. Mostly mobile gaming balancing it out, with more casual availability.
Also I imagine stuff like Sims always had more girls getting into it than boys
-
agreed, though i don't necessarily think animals has a large gender bias.
maybe fuzzy cute animals do, but just appreciated and liking animals and nature docs is pretty gender neutral in my experience.
though i haven't exactly looked up data on that...
