    The minute you stop feeling sympathy for the victims, it's time to back out. The most important part of being interested in true crime is the respect for the victims and protecting the memory of them. Of being so happy that a lot of these people have been caught and can't do this to anyone else, regardless of how interesting their case is.

      I wonder what Sarah would think about people that actually fantasize about the victims. Like the whole Black Dahlia thing. I have seen so many tattoos of her face. Is it that they relate to the victim or the killer that is confusing to me.
      I do kind of understand the Aileen Wuornos thing, I mean I am not informed completely if there was any of her victims that were just trying to give her a ride and not propositioning her. I should say I don't agree with her actions, but I understand why women relate to that.
      I also wonder if Sarah has heard about Sol Pais. Her story was recent and so confusing to me. Was she really wanting to kill people and obsessed of the Columbine killers, or did she just want to die? Plus what senior in high school has the money to by a ticket from Florida to Colorado and a shotgun without her parents knowledge?!

    Just met Sue Klebold a couple weeks ago at a symposium on mass shootings, and she is such a wonderful, warm, strong lady who has obviously been through more hardship than any human should have to endure but who has dedicated her life to using her pain to help other people. Her book is fantastic, and I got to talk to her for a bit after the symposium and have her sign my copy. My boyfriend happens to bear a slight physical resemblance to Dylan, and when she saw him her face fell a bit and she said, “You remind me of my son Dylan, which of course just breaks my heart.” I wanted so badly to give her a hug. I cannot IMAGINE anyone going up to meet her with a tattoo of her son’s signature or freaking CORPSE on their body. This “trend” is reprehensible.

      Spirit Glass I’ve done pretty extensive research into 4-20-99 (which I’ve just learned is how Littleton residents prefer to refer to the event rather than call it “Columbine”) - reading, watching documentaries and interviews, etc. because I find it to be a really fascinating case. Not in a morbid way, but from a psychological perspective and also regarding the media coverage and the fact that this is an event that sparked many similar events. In doing this research, there have been plenty of times where I’ve talked my poor boyfriend’s ear off about my findings. So I’d actually mentioned to him before that it was a little eerie how much he looks like Dylan (he’s 6’3”, very pale and thin, shoulder-length hair, with a long face and a prominent nose). So when Sue said that, he actually just pointed to me and said, “That’s what she’s told me before.” Haha

    I agree! It seems like there's a privilege in being so desensitized to violence that you would romanticize someone who caused complete and utter horror to people in their last moments of life. If everyone were able to see photos, crime scene reports, etc. as opposed to looking at it like a "story", it wouldn't be as easy to sterilize these crimes.

      The “bisexual legend”? Jesus have these people read up on the victims and the statements given by their families? If she had killed one man that sexually assaulted her I would understand. But she killed seven. Did they all deserve to die because they were soliciting prostitution? No. Some of them had families and were essentially just normal dudes. She got a taste for blood and ran with it. She should not be defended, regardless of what her childhood and life was like. Plenty of people have horrendous childhoods and DONT grow up to murder seven people. Ridiculous.

    If the tattoo artist needs to make the tattoo to be able to pay bills and buy food etc I wouldn't place blame on them. In that case I could understand them doing it, but I don't see why an artist would want to be associated with a tattoo like that. And doing it because someone else would do it anyway is nonchalant imo. Even if someone else would do it, every tattoo artist have the chance to draw a line and take a stand against a stupid idea. I checked the hashtag to fuel my disgust and there are tattoo artists making serial killer flash and promoting these motives, and the language in some captions and the hashtags used by artists seem to promote the idea even more.... so in my opinion it's not only them doing a job, generally speaking.

      It's a weird one but given Sarah's new video, she probably isn't that bothered by it. Probably finds it cringe, but Tate wasn't a real murderer and he's made in a way that romanticizes him as a character.

    • @immortalvelociraptor7810
      @immortalvelociraptor7810 Před 4 lety +9

      phantom diaries I think the difference is that Tate was designed that way. He’s not a real killer with real victims, so the people who can recognise that and like gonna as a character aren’t bad. Also they picked actors and characteristics for a reason, he’s meant to be liked by at least some of the audience. The show never tried to paint him as 100% the bad guy and they gave perspective and background to his character. So I personally think it’s fine to like his story as long as you’re not walking around liking the crime itself.

    • @allisongarippo3269
      @allisongarippo3269 Před 4 lety +10

    Thank you for making so many good points, especially the point having to do with glorifying these killers and what they've done. On my end; the fact that things like that have been done and that there are people that idolize them, makes me sick to my stomach...
    I happened to come across a story a while back about a girl named Junko Furuta who was tortured to death, which a lot of these victims were too and to be aware that these horrific things has actually occured to someone out there kills me! I cried for days...
    Imagine You or someone You Love being held captive and having to endure incomprehensible torture and the only thoughts that keep them going are that they'll be with their family again and a replay of memories... they keep hoping they'll get out of it, to keep hanging on.... Their whole worlds are taken away

    actually could almost not finish this because of how unsettling it was. Like actually made me physically ill but props to you for speaking so eloquently and trying to make people think again about romanticizing killers

    This is off topic but you wear so many black shirts. What do you use to keep them from getting faded in the wash? Love your videos never miss one 😊

      Gonna assume she washes with cold or warm water and lets her sensitive clothes hang dry.

    10:23 You know, I think you can use the mind of a serial killer as a big inspiration. In the mind of a psychopath everything is extreme and love is more like an obsession. But just because something is extreme doesn't mean it's bad right?
    They do the wrong thing because they want to feel something special. Psychopaths don't fell less then you do they feel more and they want to feel more than a normal human could feel. So if you tattoo something like that it's because you want to make it clear, you mean it in a extreme way.
