After reading some blogs on this ive noticed that theres so much misinfo about the community here its ridiculous. Most, if not all people who are in the tcc are mentally unwell teenagers who genuinly have no one to go to, so they end up in this community. I understand when people say they hate the community because it has resulted in some terrible cases, but people forget that the people in it are extremely unwell and calling them insane or "dorks" or whatever is just making the situation 100 times worse.
Its the same argument as with video games and violent music. Just because people enjoy researching the cases and the perpetrators, and can relate to them doesn't mean their going to go out and commit violent acts. If anything people in the tcc are most likely to harm themselves.
Also people who have never talked or interacted with the tcc even once, and who get their info from youtubers who dont have the faintest idea of what their talking about is so stupid. I swear every time I watch a video like that I want to rip my hair out its so stupidly inaccurate. There is also multiple sides to the tcc, which I can go into more deeply maybe later, that its stupid to think everyone in it is the same. Lumping all of us as some edgy wannabe killers and some racists is just maddening.
For me personally being in the tcc / columbine scene is one of the only things keeping me sane at the moment. Its my coping mechanism, that absolutely could be better, but I dont see myself finding any alternatives. I already know this is going to either get alot of hate or be completely ignored, but that would just prove my point in the fact that nobody is even trying to understand. They just demonize the community and the members, because they have never been at such a low point in their life, where they see this as the only way to keep going.
Anyway I think people are just too closeminded to even try and understand, but feel free to ask any questions and ill answer

Speaking about true crime in such a lighthearted way is absolutely harmful. It only serves to further desensitize people and bring even more pain to victims. These are real tragedies. Real people with families and lives are dead for the rest of time.
Whether or not youre mentally unwell, its not okay to idolize killers or talk about murder cases like theyre any other harmless interest. If anything, exposing yourself to these things constantly while youre in this state of mind is probably going to desensitize you more and make you more likely to hurt people. Its fine to be interested in true crime, but theres absolutely no excuse for the way some of these people, including you, treat these cases with such disgusting disrespect.
Ive seen you speak about these cases in the lighthearted and disrespectful way i described earlier, like when you said "I absolutely love E.H and D.K, but I also am into a lot of other cases, such as dylan roof, colt gray, Arthur Achleitner, Tj Lane, Artyom and Nikita and alot more haha. I also love zeroday (especially cal). Still Eric has my heart and i'll probably mostly ramble about him until I eventually get banned again...." in your intro post. That was insensitive and poorly worded, and the fact you have pictures of two school shooters plastered on your profile is questionable. You reblog fanart of shooters on your tumblr. You reblog posts about being in love with real murderers. I genuinely dont care if youre mentally unwell or not because youre causing harm. Have you thought about not publicly contributing to a community that props up murderers? Have you thought about maybe taking that shit off your profile?
I AM mentally unwell, and i also find myself getting attached to violent things, even real life murder cases. I know what its like to feel very connected to things that are wrong, violent, illegal. But i dont post about loving murderers. Do you see how someone looking in on your community finds it atrocious?

i used to consider myself a part of the tcc (now?? idk) and yeah i think it was a coping mechanism for me and maybe still is. and i also think theres a huge problem with ppl thinking that anyone who has homicidal thoughts is an evil future killer..
