I'm pretty sure Batman doesn't have a No Nut Shot rule.
Maybe that's an answer they'd understand: What Would Batman Do?
Answer: Batman would kick nuts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's depressingly probably correct.
I just don't understand a code where "You tried to kill me" leaves a nut shot off the table. Surely you can just not attack people if you want your nuts kept sacred? Is this somehow impinging upon your rights to rape and kill? Is there a support group somewhere, with meetings where guys stand up and say "Hi, my name is Nick, and I would like to rape you without risking a knee to the groin."?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Wait. These guys are saying "Even though I am attacking you to rape and/or kill you, you can fight back, but nut shots are totally unfair and RIGHT OUT"?????
Yeah, no. Trying to rape and/or kill me is a little more unfair, you delicate flower of nut-hood.

What you're doing here MIGHT COMPROMISE THEIR MASCULINITY. And, see, there are some things you don't do, even in self defense.
I swear to god, there was a long erudite explanation of how this is a bad thing to do to a guy, and I got nothing...I did explain it was a rape or murder situation, not even bothering to explain that if a man lays any violent hand on me, I don't care what his endgame is--the minute he starts the fight, his nuts are fair game.
Know that chivalric code you're so fond of? ALREADY COMPROMISED. I totes am not the one starting it.

That is not what they teach in Krav.
I think you should start using Teppy's phrase: "you delicate flower of nut-hood."

As the ancient Tibetan philosophy states "Don't start none, won't be none."
I didn't realize that James Brown was Tibetan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yes, he's the Dalai Papa and he's got a brand new bag of nonviolence.
