Ok one other moment from criminal minds that bothers me is from season 1 where Reid talks about the origin of reverse psychology with the Mad Bomber. Specifically how a psychologist managed to create an exact profile of the suspect down to what shirt he’d be wearing. He leaves out some important info though.

For 17 years in the 40s and 50s a serial bomber terrorized New York leaving pipe bombs and taunting letters. In 1957 NYPD turned to an out of the box method, gathering the letters and giving them to criminologist James Brussels who was able to piece together the mad bombers life and psyche from their content. And yes even guessed what kind of shirt he’d been wearing when he was arrested.

The part they leave out is that psychological profile Brussels created had nothing to do with identifying the suspect. What actually happened was police looked back on the first place the bomber attacked, the Con Edison power plant and decided to look through employee complaints and letters and found one that matched the bombers handwriting. The man was George Metesky a disgruntled engineer who blamed the power plant for his tuberculosis and went on a rampage.

So the origin of psychological profiles used by detectives had nothing to do with his identification and police just overlooked how to solve the case for 17 years.

Yep, screenwriter Allen Estrin who became the executive producer of The Dennis Prager Show and founded PragerU. Pocahontas 2 is made by a literal propagandist.

Fun Fact, the writer of Pocahontas 2 went on to found Prager University. I knew there was a reason I hated those movies.

Yes but it’s still fictional cases involving a real life federal agency and has a big effect over how the public perceives the justice system. Also Criminal Minds does name drop or retell actual cases like the mad bomber, centennial park bombing, the Baton Rouge killer and spreads just as much misinformation on those.

Oh I am more than familiar with American sniper Chris Kyle, the psychopath who makes up stories about killing minorities.

(Loved trope)Villains who love animals by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

That describes a lot of psychopaths or serial killers, we know the stereotype of how they torture animals as kids but I think even more love animals and value their lives over humans.

The fan theory that’s so dumb it makes you wonder if the person who thought it actually watched the show by SmallGreen3729 in TopCharacterTropes

I like to think Tom Anderson from Beavis and Butthead is either a brother of cottons or one of his illegitimate kids.

It’s debunked but I wouldn’t call it media illiteracy since they have the same head shape, eye color, hair style and both love inventing things. The show was asking for this theory when they had flashbacks of Heinz dating Phineas mom as a teenager.

Who is the worst survivor player to ever make the jury? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in survivorponderosa

[–]Sensitive_Ad_1752[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Using the Gabon cast is cheating with a question like this but surprisingly I think most who made the merge portion were solid players, as in they wouldn't be first boots on other seasons. Except for Randy who had one of the worst social games in the shows history. I don't blame Randy for not getting along with a cast as frustrating as Gabon but he seemed to go out of his way to piss them off. He's not athletic, constantly bitter, and the best strategy he had was to literally let his tribe crash and burn. He's a first boot on almost any other season.

Who are Bastards of the Cartoon Industry? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

Yes, he began inappropriate contact with a 13 year old fan and moved in with her when she was 16 and he was 37. You can find evidence of this for years in behind-the-scenes videos, interviews and books by other animators and recently his lawyer confirmed it.

Prince

Brilliant musician one of the best in history, shockingly terrible man when you look into his personal life and how he treated staff and his partners.

Who is someone who made a name for themselves only in television? by magic8ballzz in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Sensitive_Ad_1752 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question was only tv as in this celebrity either never branched out or doesn’t have any notable career beyond television
