Wow and so the thing is he doesn't physically attack the burglars because the one within reach is a young woman and it feels wrong And this makes everyone in his life lose respect for him and he's filled with rage and guilt and has to make up for it That's... layers

FTR I am of the opinion that risking human life and limb over property is indeed not worth it, especially if you're well-off enough that insurance can cover the financial loss, and making it a matter of honor is just more dumb toxic shit that ruins the world

(Our house was robbed when I was a kid The cops said it was probably a teenage girl who did it, or a group that contained a teen girl, based on some of the random shit that was taken from my mom and sister's room along with the obvious valuables)

(My dad was fucking FURIOUS over it and absolutely did feel emasculated and humiliated and all that shit, even though he not only wasn't home but wasn't in town at the time And he absolutely did blame my mom for "letting it happen" It got really ugly)

(I have personal reasons for really, really disliking this "Stand up for yourself! Have some fucking dignity!" shit in this context, especially when I see it in myself That shit is an electric charge that, if there are no bad guys nearby to discharge into, grounds out elsewhere)

I'm still just confused about whether the John Wick universe is literally adding this (much more troubling than the first) white rage fantasy or if JW's creator is self plagiarizing

No I don't think it's the John Wick "universe" It's the same *screenwriter* but not the same director or production company, you don't usually keep the IP when you sell a script It's just self-plagiarism, or "variations on a theme"
