BoyWiki Dictionary: Vigilante (dictionary) |
n /vɪdʒɪˈlanti/, /vɪdʒɪˈlanteɪ/ |
¹ a person who is not a police officer but who tries to catch and punish others. |
² any criminal who takes the law into his or her own hands, as by avenging a crime. |
A vigilante is a self-appointed doer of justice [1]. In the boylover community, the term is especially used for people that practice legal entrapment, out boylovers, or by other means try to make boylovers' lives miserable or unbearable.
