Although ethical concerns have become bigger and bigger in regards to true crime. A majority of the consumers of this type of media have no concern over the ethical problems of what they view as entertainment. Many times true crime media is used as a way for women to express "victimhood under patriarchy and provide an emotional outlet". This could be why many people have no concerns, as they could see themselves in the victim's place.
