- we're back for part 59,641 of serial killer merch, but this time I wanted to add a bit more, so stay tuned to the end to hear why this stuff is not only morally wrong, but possibly legally as well.
huge thanks to Michelle for helping me with this video!

You can be edgy without dehumanizing murder victims. Just saying.
How tho? I've probably never seen someone edgy and not cringy\disgusting at the same time
@@Li_Tobler cringe isn't the same as lusting after serial killers.... It's just people who are embarrassing. Like furries, but they don't harm anyone (unless the hardcore ones with their pets.... Ugghhh....)
@@Orangecatenergy I don't really get your point here, that's why I slashed disgusting after cringe
Li Tobler just don't duhumanize murder victims lol its not that hard
@@miagrimard8654 me? I'm probably the most infuriated person about this topic than anyone else combined...
I feel so bad for Elizabeth Short. I know she’s dead and doesn’t realize what’s happened to her image, but the thought that people are out in the world wearing her dead naked corpse on a shirt like it’s nothing breaks my heart. What if that was you? Your sister? Mother?
Yeah, these people have family. Might not bother a dead person (obviously) but there are living victims and family members of these people.
It's inhuman, really. Imagine your mother, father, or child being sadistically torn apart by a psychopath, and someone sells it on a t-shirt.
People just don't think. My best friend was murdered by his partner earlier this year and the articles written (except one) were horrible. Just gruesome and glorifying the violence of it and the comment section... people were saying really terrible stuff and its like, yo, his friends and family see this shit. We're still watching the police carrying evidence bags and belongings out of his house and people are making jokes online.
I just stopped reading any of the news articles. Only one article someone sent me focused on who my friend was and honoring his life rather than sensationalize his death.
thats exactly what I think when I see those things. Like, these victims have families that are still alive, which is heartbreaking
youalwaysyounever I am so, so, sorry. I hope you all are doing okay with everything happening. People are just horrible and need to realize that these people had lives, they’re not just objects you can do whatever you want with.
“Negative comments will be deleted” can just be translated to “everyone else is the problem, not me”.
That's so true! It's sickening someone would bother to say that
Facts
Victoria never learns 🙄
I haven’t thought about it like that
I agree!! Accept I knew a girl who posts about LGBT rights so she got a lot of hate and it made sense to say "negative comments will be deleted."
But apart from that sort I agree.
Not even hot topic would claim this.
*not even Spencer's*
I was FUMING when I heard about Kurt Cobain's suicide note being on a t-shirt, because how disrespectful can you be? Apparently the people who thought putting Elizabeth Short's dead body on a t-shirt had a 'hold my beer' moment because that is worse. I've just reported a post on instagram with it on and had to put it under suicide/self-harm because there wasn't an option for this picture shows an actual dead body
Deanna Martin yeah it’s beyond fucked up
100%! I put it under violence cause I reasoned a mutilated corpse of a person who has been tortured and murdered is very much the epitamy of violence... but yeah I was also missing a „hey some sick fuck put a literal dead person on a shirt“
where are the posts? who are the uploaders? I'm trying to find to report but I can't find them
What's that accounts @ ?
agree, it's gross
I don't know what it is about Elizabeth Short's murder that has made people totally dehumanise her, worse than any other victim of a crime I can think of. Perhaps it's the fact that she was given the depersonalised moniker "Black Dahlia" by the press that's made people forget that she was a real person, with a real family who died after suriviving days of horrific torture. It honestly breaks my heart
Yeah it's totally distrustful to her. What kind of asshole thinks that's shit is okay
People forget that she was a real person who died in a horrific way and then was also left cut up and naked in plain sight. It’s just disgusting what society has done to her.
Literally so disgusting. Just proves that a lot of people view women as objects.
Imagine someone walking around with a picture of your mutilated corpse on their shirt. It’s just so fucked up to even comprehend.
I also think that the fact that it happened so long ago, kind off makes the horror of it even more removed from real life if u get what I mean.
My friend has a shirt with “bundy” printed on it. She got told to take it off at college or put a hoodie over the top..... I don’t think they realised it’s her last name even though it’s on her ID card 😂
that would suck as a last name tho for that reason
GymnasticsEdits_7 I dunno, she’s a criminology student so finds it pretty freaking hilarious 😂
OMG
Well the good thing is, she can legally change her last name. At least I would
Oh wow 😂😂 I feel bad for her but at the same time it is kinda funny
Ew at the quote on the first post: "Serial killers do, on a small scale, what governments do on a large one. They are products of our times and these are bloodthirsty times." Imagine normalizing murder like that. Gross.
yeah like okay, would you say that if one of ur family member's was a victim??
han jisung enthusiast right? I feel like people like this romanticize serial killers to the point where they completely disregard and dehumanize the victims. I mean I don't wish anyone ill, but damn do they need a reality check.
@@addangel they really do because shit is M E S S E D
@@addangel The quote, if it's used as an excuse to murder, then it's simply horse shit, but as a quote, standing for itself, it's true.
You ever heard of an anime called *Pyscho Pass?* if so.... I suggest you check into it. They play with the notion of a desensitized population when it comes to murder and crimes.
I seriously hate those Disney ears so much.
Frankie Fratchermen Disney is a kids based company, and while adults can enjoy it just as much having a freaking serial killer on your Mickey Mouse ears is fucking insane.
My parents told me how scary it was to be in the Los Angeles area because of how random it was. He didn’t have a pattern or anything so everyone was nailing down their windows. To put that on Disney ears is unnerving
The Instagram caption made me so mad, really? He likes that sh*t? Wtf
Luckily it’s just “fanmade” and small shop rather than Disney itself so I would word it more as Disney inspired rather than Disney itself since it wasn’t the Disney company who made it and supports that.
Noel Luna I cannot imagine how terrifying that would have been. And to put him on DISNEY EARS!? I don’t understand, he was a monster
Serial killer merch is pathetic and tasteless, but the crime scene shirts are something else. I really feel that anyone who would wear an actual corpse on their body is clinically disturbed, along with the person who designed it.
@VILLAINY PM what?
VILLAINY PM it shouldn’t fucking exist. at all.
Sometimes people are just that desperate to be edgy, it's so pathetic how people think this is fine.
@VILLAINY PM oh wow thanks genius I never thought of that 🙄🙄🙄🙄 it's called common sense and decency. Don't create merchandise celebrating real sadistic rapists and murderers, and DO NOT create merch displaying a real murder scene. People who make or wear this shit should go on some kind of watchlist... Merch from horror movies is different, it's not real. REAL murderers and murder scenes are off limits and people should feel disgusted. It's a matter of respect too.
Well if it’s the corpse of a fictional person it’s not as bad. But yeah real people is a bit distasteful.
y’all remember when someone did t-shirts that have a print of kurt cobains suicide note....
yup, god was i mad
I AM DISGUSTED
cody ikr
This shouldn’t even be a topic. This is a common sense matter. I’m speechless.
Dree M real shit this is so fucked up
I live in Brazil where the Charles Manson case is not so well known. One day I saw a friend of mine that doesn't speak English wearing a tshirt with Manson's face on it that said "proud to be psycho" (I think it was from a brand called Blunt), I asked him if he knew what it said and who it was, he said "is something about being proud to be crazy, right?". I explained him the meaning and the story, he was so shook that he cutted the shirt into pieces and threw it way. It is so bad that brands put it out there and some people use it without even knowing.
:( that's awful
Kudos to him for destroying the shirt that way! A decent human being action :)
I had a Black Dahlia t-shirt, I'm from Latin America and I really didn't know about her case.
I can't say that I threw it voluntarily, it just got too old to be used, but now that I'm aware of what happened I feel really bad for using that stupid t-shirt.
já vi isso várias vezes também :(
Sério que ele não sabia? Esse caso é super famoso, mesmo aqui!
thank you for not saying that jonestown was a mass suicide, it was a mass murder seeing as many people were forcefully injected (also the kids couldn’t understand what they were doing)
I’m interested in cults so it irks me when people misrepresent what happened
100% a mass murder!
The leader was a psychopath
So true. And if you listen to the tapes some of the kids did catch on to what was happening and tried to run off but their parents forced them to drink the poison as were other people. There are people questioning if this is the right thing and he makes fun of them and has the crowd turn on them.
Makes me sick to my stomach. I heard the tales one time and listening to those babies cry haunts me
I had to research the jim jones case for a study at uni and if you listen to the recordings you can hear kids screaming in pain from cyanide poisoning it made me so depressed and sick but I'm glad I assist in putting bastards like that away now
The black dahlia one is so horrifying and disrespectful...
Fuckin funny ass fucka
Just be edgy with black clothes and mcr tshirts
I have a MCR shirt that I'm pretty sure is inspired by Jack the Ripper... It's a minimalistic drawing tho
@@melloncollie3321 idk if inspired by and having a whole ass killer face on your shirt are the same thing. A whole different vibe in my personal opinion
At least MCR is actually something good. Cause let me tell you Mama is a BOP.
@@jmiddleton7518 good to see a cultured person in the comments
@@jmiddleton7518 mcr is awesome
the girl with nail art in your first photo also has a sleeve of multiple portraits of serial killers all along her arm. which you didn't cover in your tattoo video so i thought i'd bring it up
I used to follow her on Tumblr! But later realized she had serial killer tattoos and unfollowed her. I don't understand the obsession. It's not edgy and its not cool.
infernal saint yeah like why not have horror movie ones like Hannibal or Chucky etc why go for real serial killers who murdered real people? Don’t get the mentality
infernal saint I’ve seen people bring it up in her comment section and she always gets very defensive and upset and refuses to acknowledge why it’s wrong
Kim Brulee-I totally agree. It's one thing to have a fascination with true crime, & learning the facts behind those cases out of wanting to gain insight into what goes on in the minds of killers who commit these horrible crimes, that I can understand. But to be so obsessed with these killers that you get tattoos of them on your body, or t shirts with pics of them or their victims, is just wrong on so many levels.
She also likes to play like putting headlines in the background of some of the tattoos makes it magically less edgy and disrespectful. She used to claim it was because she was studying crime in school... yeeeeeah.
Hey Sarah, I’ve noticed there’s been a disturbing ‘trend’ going round, where people have been visiting Elizabeth short’s grave whilst wearing makeup recreating her injuries from the crime scene and taking pictures. I have also seen it with other victims and killers, and was wondering about your opinion on the matter. I personally find it really creepy and disturbing. Xx
Bonni-rose Makeup people also dress up as her for Halloween. It’s fucked.
Wow, what an assholes. Completely fucked in the head selfish pricks. They now have the *privilege* to dress up, cause they're alive and well, UNLIKE the poor victims. Oh my god, it breaks my heart just thinking about it. It's not just disrespectful, it's simply unfair - Elizabeth's t-shirt and these 'cosplays' are the apogee of that
This makes me livid. I visited her grave about a year and a half ago. I talked to her, cried, left her a tiny gift. To think these ignorant idiots are out there doing this....
It’s so fucked up. Many people have posted pictures on Instagram at the spot where she was found dead. Most of them are laying down “recreating the scene” as if it was a movie. They think it’s cool or trendy. It’s disgusting
Kinda reminds me of that gross trend of people on Tik Tok pretending to be a victim of Bundy. I cannot stand these unempathetic assholes belittling victims of murder. I really don't understand it
wearing a shirt that has a victim’s body on it is the most depraved, attention-seeking move I can think of. It’s exactly the same as that shirt with Cobain’s suicide note on it. Disgusting.
Same bro wtf it's nauseating
It made me sick.
The fact that you have to explain to people WHY this is disrespectful is such an issue.
You can get arrested for wearing swastikas in Germany but people are allowed to walk around wearing this stuff. Both are terrible things, both should be punished.
In fact, anything related to nazi stuff here in Germany is highly punishable.
You're not even allowed to name your child Adolf. The name is banned.
In my Class we arent even allowed to say 'Adolf Hitler' .
@@lilbitchass3711 So, y'all him "he who must not be named"?
@@emurysorrow6632 yes. or we call him just 'Führer ' = smth like leader
@@emurysorrow6632 that's not normal tho, I'm from Germany too and we always say his name in class
The sad part about this type of "style" is that they treat it like the victims are not real people. Like they do not have family, do not deserve respect, and were not once living, breathing, and feeling beings... almost as if they are just another fictional icon, like characters in a scary movie. It's just sad how people can disconnect themselves so far from reality that they think this is ok.
Elizabeth's body literally isn't even seen as human anymore. It's basically just this fascinating object for people to stare at. It happens a lot to other victims, too. My husband and I were watching Forensic Files one time and they showed the unblurred crime scene photo of the victims unseeing face and my husband and I literally could not believe they did that. We were speechless. Victims become so inhuman people are so desensitized to the suffering they must have endured.
:(
People wanting Jonestown merch have clearly never listened to those innocent children being murdered.
Yeah i feel sorry for them and their families and i have never drunken kool Aid in my life i never do it as a i’m sorry for them and their families
I don't even have to hear it, I know it's wrong. These people most likely won't change their minds, their way of thinking is way to distorted.
I don't know why but the Elizabeth Short shirts made me tear up. How can this be legal and how can someone just be comfortable with looking up those crime scene photos and putting it on t-shirts? I couldn't even stomach looking them up for myself out of curiosity.
I know right!! I didn't tear up, but got really upset. Poor sweet little girl... I wish she was avenged some day :'(
And this is so unfair that alive & well people now can wear it as an accessory... I feel like this is the worst type of privilege on earth - someone has the ability to dress up and wear murder victim related stuff, while the victims... obviously can't, because their lives were taken from them against their will :(
I am really interested in true crime and sometimes look up photos and documentations that don't censor shit, but damn, I still think of the victim's family and respect them. I'm just interested in detective shit, not gore
It’s such a distressing, disgusting lack of courtesy toward a young girl who was hurt so, so badly. I’ve seen the photos before, and I can’t imagine just stumbling across them in public, on some stranger’s shirt. They’re horrific.
Same. Like I want to look up what happened due to curiosity, but I'm too scared to.
@@rachie2456 me too :( i have no idea who this person is and I'm too scared to look them up in case I see crime scene pictures
"my chanel is about thrifting, harry potter, serial killers.."
Perfect 👌
There's so many Black Dahlia makeup looks on Instagram it's gross. And I even saw merch that had drawings of Elizabeth Short and the words "stay sexy don't get murdered"
That's disgusting
Oh my god that's terrible! And I recognize the quote as Georgia and Karen's from My Favorite Murder but they would never be disrespectful like that
I saw one where the caption was "Elizabeth Short, we were born on the same day, and who knows? We might end up in the same way." and when people were confronting her she started saying stuff about straight people wanting to be oppressed and straight people this, straight people that.
edit: she's a drag queen
Moira Lightwood To be fair they’ve said some pretty ignorant shit about mental illness and the like. Karen and Georgia, I mean.
i don't even know what to say. *stay sexy.* *and don't get murdered.* *_with an image of Elizabeth Short._*
I enjoy wearing merch for music group I listen to... Merch is a sign of support... I dunno why someone would wear merch supporting killers.
the black dahlia merch is one of the most disrespectful and disgusting things ive ever seen
The band is lit
who would even want to wear literal pictures of a graphic crime scene??? tf like i hope people aren’t actually putting on that shirt and going out wearing it
For real. Like can you imagine someone wearing a picture of your mutilated corpse on their shirt? Just so fucked up
I think the people's mindset is upsetting the status quo. I think they assume that every one is a highly offended Christian from the 1950s. It's not a great stance to take in life and probably doesn't lead to happiness or joy.
@Brandon Piperjack sooo you're saying its just dumb pepole wanting to be eddgy and a call for atention
sarah: killer merch is illegal
Jeffree Star: 👀
This is just like Kurt Cobains suicide letter on a shirt.
I hate that. 😠
That’s fucking sad dude , why would anyone...
Imagine someone you knew was murdered only for people to walk around with the killers face on their shirt 😡😡
I’d absolutely lose my SHIT
I can relate. I’m in the indie music scene and another ““rival”” band did something really fucking horrible to a former member of my band. I don’t really want to get into it, but those two members from the other band are in jail. Every time I see someone wearing a shirt of that band, especially now that it’s extremely public what they did and that they’re in jail, I get fired up
@@m.nic.5080 what band are u talking about?
I would be fucking livid
@@m.nic.5080 Holy shit, now I don't know if I wanna be a musician, I'm so damn sorry for whatever happened :(
my whole thing is why would you be proud to support these people openly. like fictional killers go off, but real killers please stop.
edit: i just wanna talk to the companies that did the black dahlia thing.
Just wanna talk, pinky promise lmao
Exactly what I was thinking!!
Honestly. The difference between someone wearing a Darth Vader or Emperor Palpatine shirt and wearing an actual serial killer is the first two are fictional characters. Yes, fictional characters who killed people, but they *arent* real
Taylor It's not even that they're not real, their VICTIMS aren't real. Like I can understand someone wanting to worship someone they think is "alternative" but wanting to celebrate someone who took real lives away is so, so gross.
I found one company on insta their name is @hatecouture.616 , I don't think that they do the black dahlia shirts anymore but I saw a post of someone wearing one in 2018 that tagged this company.
I hate how everyone acknowledges the criminal but not the victim.
I just ADORE how the fingernails post caption said, “Serial killers do on a small scale what governments do on a large scale...”
That’s cute... that’s, uh... that’s real cute🙄
Listen... I'm liberal in just about EVERY way... But I have no qualms about killing serial killers. It gets to a point where it's an eye for an eye, in my opinion... I don't worry for John Wayne Gacy or Dylann Roof's rights at all, considering what they did to innocents for no reason at all.
If she thinks that's a social statement, she ought to realize it's a flawed one.
If that’s her social statement, she’s going about it the wrong way. To me, it looks like she’s glorifying or making excuses for what these people have done. Saying someone else has done it so it’s okay that they did it too. I don’t know about you but I don’t think anyone’s government grave robbed bodies to make human suits out of.
@@mercedesheisterberg299 Exactly! As I said... Highly flawed. She's definitely got some pro-killer slant on things, be that an extreme case of devil's advocate or full-on hybristophilia. Yuck.
That’s actually a Richard Ramirez quote. I don’t disagree with that line of thinking but to the people arguing politics it’s... it’s a quote by a serial killer.
It's kinda true, but still wrong
Yeah there's no defense at all for the crime scene photo shirts. Nuff said. A serial killers face isn't AS offensive to me (still very distasteful) but there's something so much more disrespectful and messed up about having the crime scene photo of a real life woman who was mutilated. In my opinion you're actively taking part in defiling her body as well. Cause it's not like she consented to be murdered. So I definitely don't think she would consent to the idea of people wearing her dead body as fashion. That's sick.
THREE ADS ON THE VIDEO GO SARAH GET THAT COIN also i feel like you are just sharing your personality with your comunity so i do not care of you jump from harry potter to thrifting to serial killers
Yessss! Stop apologising for being you. We like you:*
Miruna Ilinca same
When the first AHS came out I didn't realise black dahlia was a real person so I very nearly went as her for halloween, a couple of years later I realised and now I'm soo glad I didn't!
Yeah, I love AHS, but Ryan is getting a bit ridiculous over including rl people in this. I was sketched by Elizabeth and the devils night presented in hotel, but ...including Richard Ramirez how it was done was too far in this last season.
:( which Makes the younger generation not realize they are going gaga over REAL people
Yeah I love how they add real people into the show but I feel like they could tone it down sometimes because some people dont really understand the show and find it like extremely offensive
That's good you never did
people acting like serial killer merch is a personality... it’s disappointing how people think this is “edgy” and “trendy.”
Well, it's similar to putting Hitler on your shirt or get a Nazi Tattoos... Oh wait people do that too
omg I just saw a man with a nazi zombie tattoo on the subway 🤦🙅 with the whole outfit, symbols...
i live in Germany and you could literally be shunned and thrown in jail for that, so yikes
no it isnt (the original comment)
@@danteaghoulfromspace2996 it is bro just to an extreme level
@@cj-be6ow so it isnt,or stabbing someone with a knife is similar poking someone with your finger too
My dad’s cousin was an almost victim of John Wayne Gacy. He was working construction for him when he was 15 and he got away, even after being tied up, etc... he’s mentioned on his Wikipedia page.
I totally get the difference between wearing real killers and fictional killers. I think they’re just glamorized and some people don’t really see the difference...
Was he the one who put Gacy in the handcuffs?
OMG. I'm glad your dad was okay.
Completely off topic: your haircolour is so beautiful!
This is a whole different level of messed up. Gross, insensitive, generally obtuse, violent, doesn't even begin to cover it.
laverna so true
This is so cringy..I don't understand how people would not see the issue with this? Making money..off of the image and idea of someone who murdered people. Beyond the fact that it's so insulting the victims' families and the victims themselves, it just shouldn't be done. You shouldn't be able to make money off this. I could go on and on, but it's just disgusting.
It's not cringe,it's just straight up disgusting.
Imagine having a mind that's like "i wanna wear a murderer's face on my clothing" LMAOOOOOO
The shirt with “black daliha” writen on its not that bad i but having a mf crime scene on a shirt is really bad and disgusting
Valentina Lopez Exactly!
I love wearing fictional horror killer shirts like Michael Myers or Freddy, but I cannot imagine ever wearing actual serial killer merch. I watch and listen to a ton of true crime content and it just seems so gross and disrespectful. And I think if I ever saw someone in person wearing Elizabeth Short's crime scene photo I would fly into a rage. How despicable do you have to be? Her murder was so horrific most who cover her story refuse to go into the details.
It's not f*king cute.
im not sure if this is a topic you could make a whole video about, but i would love to hear your personal explanation as to why you believe so many people become romantically infatuated with serial killers and if you believe mental illness and/or trauma is involved.
Raimey Oliver there is a superinteresting post at Psychology today. Google psychology today serial killers and you’ll find it !!
thepaulacooper thank you so much!(:
I get mail from a lot of them. Including BTK. I am in NO WAY infatuated. I went to school for criminology. Its interesting to hear their thought process. Period.
Kat Thrush i love researching criminology and im currently working towards a degree in psychology- i don’t think any of us would be watching if we weren’t interested in some way. im sure with your degree youll understand that infatuation is different than interest, and infatuation for anything is deep rooted and comes from a deeper place. im not coming for you or anyone else who is interested in criminology, so im not sure why you felt obligated to come across so damn harsh. though im sure it comes out of place of miscommunication, as i was not asking about you. have a good day. (:
Kat Thrush don’t think it’s aimed at you then? Why take it personally? If you’re not in love with a serial killer, chill out 😂
like Bailey Sarian says: GET! BETTER! IDOLS!
PERIODT.
I was searching for that comment omg
YES OMGMGMGM
selma wallet Yesss!!!!!
Omg yesss Bailey is such a Queen
some commissioners need to learn to say NO to requests
bo schitt!
I have a shirt with Freddie and Jason on it, nothing like having a real serial killer on your shirt.
Island Rebel Makeup i think fictional killers and real killers are completely different. it's fine to wear Freddie or Jason. But Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer? that's not ok.
Sam Martinez exactly my point
Sam Martinez Well...because they’re fake. Batman’s killed people too. Nobody should feel they should compare that to real evil people on t shirts.
Flush Fries yea that's what i meant. sorry if it came off as something else.
Sam Martinez no no dont be sorry, I was just agreeing
I’m pretty sure Henry Rollins (lead singer of Black Flag) would hate those Black Dahlia shirts
@@gracedavies915 *In the 80s* It's currently 2020. Ideally, people grow and change and become better people. Henry Rollins is a testament to this. He's very different from the young dude he was when Black Flag was first formed. He does speaking events at universities across the country, and his politics are very left-leaning.
@@cannibalisticrequiem oh so only right-leaning people put serial killer faces on posters? his politics and his activities dont say shit about what his opinion is on shirts with serial killer faces
jan snot they literally didn’t say or imply that. They were just stating how he and his politics have changed in the years. Chill out
@@user-tc9jb6dm9u i think it is somewhat implied, it depends on how you read it i guess. And i am chill, it's a bloody yt comment. Maybe you should calm down ;)
I saw an advert come up on my Instagram the other day and it was a ‘serial killer colouring book’. Honestly I felt sick, imagine how the victims families would feel.
Can we talk about the people who do makeup looks “inspired” by the black dahlia
Deities Witch That’s not that bad. They aren’t commending it like some of the merchandise.
it's still p fucked up though, imagine a makeup look being inspired by you or a loved ones dead body?
Rollins would be pissed about the black dahlia shirts.
I found a guy on instagram wearing one of those two shirts and someone said "that's not the band" and he literally responded "I like both so it's cool"... jfc that's actually terrifying
do you know that one photo of elizabeth short that’s set up kinda like an id picture but it’s after her death so her face is cut up and she has that awful dead look in her eyes? yeah i’ve seen Edgy bands use that as an album cover. i’ve also seen tattoos of her cut up body like yall i truly have no words....
kim TATTOOS? THAT’S DISGUSTING
Albert fish was such an evil man, the fact someone came up with the idea to make a shirt with him on it is disgusting.
The killer nails would be kinda cool if it was just fictional characters.
I quite like all the different content you put up, possibly because I relate to a lot of it - I love Harry Potter and halloween, I'm trying to be more sustainable, I love food, finding great deals on second hand clothes - so I say, go for it, do what makes you happy!
Totally agree :)
Agree 😊
I feel how Sarah’s rage is coming through the screen and so is mine.
The artist should 100% be held accountable too. When you start putting morals aside for money I may even say that’s worse.
In my country its illegal and is called "crime apology"
What country?
@@gengar827 Argentina: The Criminal Code of the Nation in art. 213, states that "he shall be repressed with imprisonment from one month to one year, who shall publicly and by any means make the apology of a crime or a convicted of a crime."
I like watching documentaries/videos about true crime but I dont know why people would want to buy merch like this?! Go support a band or artist instead.
“I get it-you’re edgy.”
😂😂😂
When I saw JonBenet merch I was really upset, because regardless of if you think she’s beautiful, the little girl lost her life and the merch isn’t contributing to ending anything with abducted or abused children
Can you imagine how the families feel? Imagine your closest family member being killed then some company makes money off of it and everyone is wearing the face of the person who murdered your family member.
Sick.
demonetized? hopefully not this time! i got 3 tampon ads 😎👌🏼
It’s all these people who think it’s funny and “edgy” to upset people but it actually just comes off as trying too hard..
This comment right here, exactly.
yeah these people would call you sensitive for calling them out on being nasty freaks and it's like... sorry i have morals and sympathy for other human beings edgelord
I saw the black Dahlia shirt for the first time via an Instagram ad from one of the companies. The whole shop sells killer merch but I can't believe they got approved for an ad.
This is so so so offensive, anyone who buys this crap should be ashamed
I’m Lonely Why should people be ashamed? It just shows that death is a natural part of life and we need to fucking deal with it!
@@Giftstunk edgy ass bitch. Trying to hard.
R A G Sreat How am I trying to be edgy? I'm just stating that people shouldn't be ashamed for having differing opinions and explaining how some people view this subject.
Raw Guts how is murder a natural part of life?
happyc12 humans have murdered for generations. Wether it's for food, competition, or just pure hatred. By now it's only natural for such acts to be done. Humans are cruel creatures and history shows that.
similar to the "serial killer memes" you mentioned at the end of the video, have you seen those serial killer/crime tiktoks?? usually i've either encountered jokes about the killers/crimes or POVs like "pov: you go on a date with ted bundy and realize something is wrong..." or something that's supposed to be "edgy" or "suspenseful." they might be interesting to watch and cover on the channel, either as a video of its own or included with memes.
I would love to see her cover this subject I am so sick of those stupid and offensive videos
I had serial killer merch when I was an edgy 13 year old. I think I wore my shirt in public once and felt gross about it. Now I’m 23 and I have this shirt sitting in the back of my closet that I don’t know what to do with?? Also there’s a whole ass band called “The Black Dahlia Murder” :/
Jessica Baldwin you could cut it up and give it for fabric recycling if you want to make sure no one else wears it
Get better idols. Stop romanticizing serial killers.
rain man Wait I have a Michael Myers tattoo but I literally work in the horror film and literature, is that bad?
Scary Movie Scenes
There’s a big difference because that’s a movie character killing characters and no one actually dies, but people romanticizing actual serial killers who’s killed real people is horrible. So no, I personally don’t think it’s bad to like horror movie characters.
rain man Oh okay, I agree.
@@raina9872 you know she’s bringing this to light, and not all people in the true crime group are into this shit, most of us are only into the the history of it, nothing more
@@magicalpasta5462 i agree, me included, just some people are overboard with it and that’s when the line is crossed where it’s insensitive to victims.
Murder and Merlot sounds like a murder mystery play with wine.
Sounds like it could be a game honestly. Something like hunt a killer with wine.
I don't know if you've seen Spider-Man Far From Home but there's a scene where Peter is talking to his best friend about finding a necklace for MJ in the shape of a black dahlia and he says it's her favorite flower "because of the murder." Somehow, I didn't catch this line right away but I caught it the second time and I wondered how Disney gave it the okay?
Wearing a flower necklace as such could actually be a in memory of "The Back Dahlia".
@@dmreddragon6 I don't think MJ was wearing it in memory of her. She's a high school student.
YES. I love how versatile your channel is, that’s why it’s my favorite! I find this topic so fascinating, i’m so glad you decided to make this. queen of content!
Honestly disgusting how we arent respecting these victim's deaths and just slapping their faces on t shirts for money🙄
I didn’t even know this was thing wtf...
Potater Tots
Everything is a thing
Lmfaooo the dirty flip flops
I looked around on at instagram to see if I could find these 'Black Dahlia' shirts... And I found a band who was litterally called The Black Dahlia and they had the pictures of Elizabeth Short from the crime scene as their merch
As someone who likes a lot of fictional serial killers, and is interested in the history of different true crimes, I do not understand this "fashion" at all.
"thinking she violated the first amendment" the first amendment refers to censorship by the government, not one lonesome moderator on some merch website lmao
I got ads!!!! Also I love how diverse your channel has become bc I’m interested in so many of the same things. From sustainability to Harry Potter, I’m here for it
someone should find those two companies that made the elizabeth short merch and notify the band whose logo they used cause I'm p sure the band could sue (as they should)
Imagine having someone close to you that is murdered and then have idiots idolizing the person that took something so important for you. Honestly, screw those people.
Just when you mentioned a piece of merch of Black Dahlia done to the theme of a band, there is a band called 'The Black Dahlia Murder'
I searched Elizabeth up and my god I almost threw up seeing her body without the towel 🤢
Kids would be crying if you wore that!!
I think it's so much more interesting if a person has more than one interest and talks about it publicly so thanks for that!
Oh and also - looove your hair lately!!!
When I clicked on this I thought it was for Jeffree stars “killer merch” haha, this is much more interesting
I THOUGHT IT WAS JEFFREE IN THE BLURRED THUMBNAIL
If I saw someone with those Disney ears on in Disney world I’m calling security and/or starting a fight x
I’m pretty sure Disney would stop them at the gate if they saw that shit.
Maybe it’s because I’m a true crime freak, not meaning I golorify them or approve of what they did, but some of these things like the master chef pins stuff I think is not bad and honestly I would buy. But I think putting the black dahlias crime scene photos on a t shirt is absolutely disgusting.
Please don’t crucify me in the comments.
Kovu Thekiller I agree with you crime scene pictures are too far
agree i thought the bachelor one and master chefs were clever
I disagree, I think it’s dishonouring to the victims, even the pins.
Agree with you
I disagree, even though I'm a huge TC fan as well. The thing with pins and stuff like this is that if you wear it, it shows that you find whatever it is portraying cool, cute or funny. We aren't fans of True Crime because of the killers, but because if the psychology behind them. I'm a fan of the forensics and investigators who work for getting justice for the victims and their families. These crimes are interesting, not great, same goes for real life killers.
I literally found some of the IG posts by typing in the tags... so even though you blurred the names, people can still easily find these posts and shower them with hate. Good job.
In my opinion, if it's making fun of killers and cult leaders (like the Jim Jones tee) then it's okay to laugh at it and wear it. It really stops being okay when it's romanticizing killers and praising them - which the pins and some of the other merch definitely does.
The Elizabeth Short tee is actually disgusting, it makes me feel sick to my core - so I'm on your side here. I just think some merch is produced to make fun of and criticize killers rather than glorify them.
9:20 There are shirts with Cobain’s suicide note :|
Maybe not worst but equally awful
Wow. This is just like when I watched, and very much enjoyed the netflix show "YOU" but then when I went on social media people be like "OMG I'm so Joe! lol!" ... you... what?.......... ...
Idk if I’m being dumb or something but apparently there’s a band called “the black dahlia murderer” and that’s just... so gross, wow
Not only that but some women are RECREATING HER FACE INJURIES, what the fuck people
why did I honestly think this was about the brand killer merch 💀
i like the “the husband did it” shirt bc it’s like a true crime trope and also calls out shitty men but it’s still bordering on awful
Seeing those pins all together makes me sick...man leave my boy Jason and Freddy out of your pile of ACTUAL killers🤢
