Can you give some examples of 'justified pulp fiction' works?
There are works where a vigilante - like character is the focus. These characters operate outside the law, which is a common trope in pulp fiction. But in a 'justified pulp fiction' context, they target only the truly evil and corrupt elements of society. For example, a character who hunts down human traffickers in a city filled with crime and corruption. The character may use unorthodox and illegal methods, but the end goal of stopping the inhumane act of human trafficking justifies their actions. This is similar to how in some pulp westerns, a gunslinger may take the law into his own hands to protect the innocent from bandits and outlaws.
One example could be some of the hard - boiled detective stories. The detective often breaks the rules but is justified in doing so to solve the crime and bring the real criminals to justice. Another might be certain adventure stories where the protagonist takes extreme actions, like stealing a valuable item, but it is justified because it will prevent a greater catastrophe.
