Ouff this reminds me of when i saw a tiktok of a girl who started it with «i don’t have a psychology degree or anything like that, but I have watched a lot of serial killer documentaries so I feel like I can discuss this-» (i scrolled away after that so I have no idea what she said further, but it was tagged with the ongoing case at that time with the youtuber girl who went missing while doing van-life with her fiance). I just don’t get why people think «having watched documentaries» gives you the expertise and competence needed to discuss especially delicate matters

lmao one of our profs recently discussed how she'd never consider arguments from a) people who don't know any basics of psych and b) true crime fans
