I think you're detecting it accurately.
I haven't known a single "true crime" enthusiast that wasn't an insulated and smugly comfortable lanyard wearer. Death and suffering make them less bored about their comfortable shallow lives.
Yeah it just seems so very voyeuristic in a way. Especially the concept of real existing peoples hardships with crime, the criminal justice system, socioeconomics, all that jazz put on display for entertainment feels to put in a word: yucky. It seems like a view steps from human-zoo shit. Like just watch reality tv, at least those people sign up to be a mess for your entertainment.
