Someone get these damn serial killer merch off the market

ALSO, as far as them being ghosts: Ed Kemper is most definitely still alive.

I even clarified what I meant and you still included this sentence. Good job. If you had read my post it says "metaphorical" not literal ghosts.

Your opinion is valid... But the damage is done and they said they "don't support serial killer merch" either so going forward, I'm sure they won't chose this type of thing to represent them. Also, most of the things you posted out were my point... But you seem to think it's the EQUIVILENT to ACTUAL, sold, shitty serial killer merch. I just personally think it was like comparing apples to oranges. I don't think the mug is the exact same as ACTUAL SERIAL KILLER MERCH where you can see Ted Bundy's ACTUAL FACE which could trigger someone.

I was trying to give you an alternate perspective on how it's not the same. Clearly similar, but not the same. I found the mug to be more subtle and done in such a way that it's not as tasteless as you're making it out to be. Especially since they themselves said they don't like serial killer merch either.

We disagree, sure. I just don't think you're factoring everything together that leans more on "this isn't the same as serial killer merch" even though yes, I clearly understand there are serial killers on the cup representing their brand.

On the sliding scale of untasteful I feel like it's a 1 and actual serial killer merchandise is a 10.

I'm trying to say the way the cup was done, and the way it was distributed... Isn't the same. You're comparing them on an equal platform.

You're thinking cartoon serial killer free swag cup for podcast = Just as bad as distasteful t-shirts only selling Ted Bundy's face on it with a zany phrase.

There's other stuff on the cup. The cup is a Morbid Podcast cup featuring the hosts. The cup doesn't ride on the fact there's serial killers on it. Also, yes, the serial killers on it are RELATED TO THEIR BRAND because that's LITERALLY WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.

I just don't understand how you don't think these things are different. I also think it's probably "merch with implied serial killers on it" done right. But you obviously disagree.

You know my viewpoint, I know yours. We both disagree, but I just wanted to chime in on how I feel about it. You know, discussing things... what you're supposed to do on forums. But since these forums are more negative than anything and I was told that by giving my point of view somehow = "I don't like open discussion" somehow by like... You know... discussing? I again will say I'm taking off.

I'm just trying to reply to the points you made. But I'm done now. No worries. Continue all agreeing with each other mindlessly and shitting on anyone who chimes in with a different opinion.

Have a nice night or day.
