ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Necrophilia in popular culture

Okay kiddo, so you know how when someone dies, their body becomes cold and stiff and they don't move or talk anymore. Well, some really weird people have a strange attraction to dead bodies and they want to do really strange things with them. This is called necrophilia.

Now, even though it's a really disgusting and creepy thing to do, some people make movies or TV shows about necrophilia just to shock or scare people. They might show strange characters doing bad things to dead bodies or having a strange relationship with them.

But you need to remember that this kind of behavior is illegal and immoral and should never be considered okay or acceptable in any way. It's important to treat people, both alive and dead, with respect and dignity.
