in case you're wondering how potent the fearmongering in a lot of true crime is, i told my mom (increasingly paranoid person due to the amount of TC she consumes) "your podcasts are super skewed, they know cishet middle class white women are their audience so they tell stories about that demographic to keep them scared and listening. you're statistically much safer than most people" and she responded, apparently having only Comprehended the last sentence, "well my podcasts say otherwise"

#nicola.txt #her paranoia could be dangerous to innocent people and I don't know how to get that through her head #bc like she's started seeing random people living their lives and telling me and my dad how she feels like they could be criminals #like. I understand being paranoid. I am mentally ill and paranoia is part of it for me.#but that doesn't give ME the right to potentially negatively effect other people #cause I'm not the center of the fucking universe #and im scared one of these days a mentally ill person or poc or poor person existing is gonna scare my mom enough #to make her call the cops or some shit and I can't even do anything about it. I've tried .
