    Is there a vigilante academy that teaches people how to investigate and expose rapists so their lives are the ones getting destroyed? Because I can get behind that.

          Step three (the first step involving gaining skills) is pretty brutal. Then step 4 is just an extension of step 1 but requires even more luck when already only 0.1% manage step 1. Step 5 and beyond aren’t very fun either.

          In fact I think the only real fun part, other than the general satisfaction from a job well done, involves a cat suit, and even that is a pretty mixed bag. Stock up on disinfectant and bandaids.

              What I was thinking:

              1. Be born to a wealthy family.
              2. Parents shot in front of you.
              3. Take off and get trained by ninjas.
              4. Return to a company still running well and not stolen from you while you were gone that also has an advanced military prototyping division.
              5. Practice with these new weapons/tools until you can competently use them in uneven battles against people trying to kill you while you do your best to avoid killing them.
              6. Now go out and fight those battles while keeping your identity secret because no matter how good you get at being Batman, you’re still vulnerable to any situation where your opponents have planned more than you have (eg every ambush and surprise attack).

      Oh man I’d love that. My ex drugged and raped me but all evidence is circumstantial so I can’t ruin his life legally.

        Same thing happens to people all the time. They’ll send a report and take in evidence that they don’t let go of. The problem is that the frequency has totally desensitized and saturated the justice system.
