  Yeah, to be honest I'm a bit worried studios might use this technology to start changing lines in old movies, so subtly only film buffs who know the film line-for-line would ever notice.

  Also, for some reason the dub and subtitles use different translations, so the character will be saying one thing and the subs will read something completely different. It's confusing AF. Often end up getting so frustrated I just turn off the dub and focus exclusively on the subs.

  Sharp disagree there. I understand you need to keep some things, like the exact locations of the shelters, a secret, but right now things are so opaque it's hard to even figure out how to check for what services might be available to you in your area. Like, literally, I wouldn't even know where to look (google "DV shelters in <my area>"??? I guess? But then you have to worry about being scammed, and the conditions, and if they take kids / pets / male victims, and, and, and...)

  Would be so much easier to just have a hotline you could call that could help you figure out what options are avaliable to you and how to access them.

  Maybe not quite what OP was imagining, but I was less focused on the extraction itself and more the destination-- a network of safe, private residences you could flee to, then stay at until you've found a job and get back on your feet. Even better if they have psychological professionals on hand to help you deal with your trauma-- or hell, even staffers who'll help you get in touch with psychological professionals and other resources to help you get back on your feet would be a big plus.

  Absolutely. And safe, private apartments the people being evacced can stay at for a few weeks / months while they look for work. Not "shelters", actually safe residences.

  988 is a phenomenal, life-saving service, but unfortunately they don't help you get in touch with services to get out of dangerous situations.

  There is the National Domestic Violence hotline, but they're A) run by a private organization, and B) literally hang up on you unless you're experienceing "intimate partner violence", because apparently all other forms of domestic violence don't count! (Ask me how I know that, lmaooooo)

  This is one of the reasons abusers pressure you to quit your job-- so even if you were finanically stable before, you end up becoming financially dependant on them so you can't just leave. It also makes it nigh-impossible for kids, even kids of wealthy families, to escape abusive situations before they're old enough to get a job (and you can bet their parents will run interference to keep that from happening as long as possible, or else figure out a way to coerce them into giving them their paychecks.)

  Police don't help you get out of your home. The best case scenario is they arrest your abuser, they come home the next morning (and hopefully don't retaliate too severely against you for humiliating them), then weeks to months later you have a court date-- by which time, your abuser's likely threatened you into saying whatever it takes to get them off the hook, and the judge is more than happy to play along so they can get you out the door and move onto other cases.

  The worst case scenario is your abuser convinces them you were actually the assaulter, and you're the one going to jail. Or the police do nothing. Or they escalate the situation.

  By the time things have escalated to the point the abuse victim is desperate to escape, they've spent years trying to fix things at home. Remember, most victims start off having loved their abuser once. It's only after you're met with failure after failure after failure that it finally starts to sink in your abuser doesn't want to change, because they like having power over you.
