True Crime Community

Epic card · No. 14769

The True Crime Community (TCC) is an online fandom and subculture with an obsessive interest in true crime, particularly serial killers and high-profile mass murderers. The TCC comprises individuals who engage with true crime podcasts, articles, web forums, and social media. It has a large presence across social media platforms, including TikTok, Reddit, Twitter and Tumblr. The term encompasses consumers of mainstream true crime content, as well as a more obscure extremist fringe. Several members of the TCC have gone on to commit their own crimes inspired by previous acts of violence, especially in the aftermath of the 2024 Abundant Life Christian School shooting. It has been linked to nihilistic violent extremism, participatory memetic violence, and hybristophilia.
