If you're a criminal, you can argue calling the cops is pretty stupid too. You're likely trying to AVOID the cops if you're in that position.
You keep calling it poor writing but really, MOST murderers don't go around calling the cops for help. That's pretty normal. We don't see people asking why Punisher doesn't do it, so I'm not sure why we should expect the MA to. THey're in the exact same position.... they're fugitives from the law willfully commiting crimes and wanted by the authorities. They have good reason to avoid the very people you're suggesting they contact.
... He really didn't have any to to convince her because promixa shows up right as he leaves, and it's not his place to tell someone what they can or can't do with their life. Abd no it was simply two pages. For the rape scene. The rape concept was brought up multiple times and we do see those characters again. But again your entitled to your opinion you say Hickmans scene is worse then the rape scenes.. so tell me this, is this not also as if if not a worse character assassination as Hickman:
Notice the victims you claim we never see again. So is this as bad as Hickmans scene or not?

Use a different word if you like, the end result is the same. Shuri was willfully going to throw her life away for nothing.
But because she's such an important part of the mythos (and on a personal level becaue I'm a fan of hers), I personally consider her death far worse than random girl never to be seen again about to be raped. Again, nothing against random girl never to be seen again... I felt bad for her. I really did. But Shuri death would have a much much bigger impact on me as a reader, and a much much bigger impact on the mythos as a whole than random girl never to be seen again. IMO at least.
I think there are plenty of people who would disagree with you over the idea that it's not a famiy members place to stop a family member from throwing their life away. People do all the time. I'd argue it's a family memebers obligation to try and save them if they can.
And we'll have to agree to disagree about the importance of Shuri vs the importance of the rape victims in the tree house. Again, don't want to go too hard on them because I felt bad for them in the tree house scene but ultimately SHuri actualy matters... the people in the tree house scene do not. In fact I'd say that Shuri is the single most important person in the franchise short of T'Challa himself. I don't think there's even a close second.

Then explain BP WoW. When Aneka wasn't a fugitive, she was apart of said government and killed the tribe leader instead of turning him in or calling for backup? An investigation which would of led to further investigation of the tribes and learning about the other crimes and rape going on which gives the government they claim to turn a blind eye to it, a chance to address it. But instead she withheld the information and decided to handle it herself then threw a fit when she had to face consequences and tried to pass blame
