Pay Evil unto Evil: The guiding principle of how the crafting circle chooses their victims. They have killed an animal abuser, an abusive husband, a con artist, and a serial rapist, and are implied to have killed several more before that.

Discriminate and Switch: The crafting circle is approached by a young woman who immediately refuses to talk while Baz is present. Baz assumes it's because she's trans, but the woman explains that it's because she thinks Baz is a cop.

Pun-Based Title: The series title is a play on "vigilante justice" and "aunties". What else would you call a series about eldery women who commit murders to help their community?

comment
Bait-and-Switch Character Intro: When Baz, a trans woman, first meets Madge, Madge begins with, "In my day, men were men and women were women..." Her friends are quick to jump in and explain that Madge isn't transphobic - she just wasn't sure what pronouns to use for Baz since Baz hadn't stated her gender. Madge accepts newcomer Baz into the women's crafting circle and does not do anything else potentially transphobic.

Blaming the Victim
 Vigilauntie Justice / int_9d5dad72
comment
Blaming the Victim: The police refuse to investigate the rapes and say it's because many of the victims were drunk when it happened. When Daisy reports her Attempted Rape, the police ask her when she first met the rapist, what she was wearing, how much she had drunk that night, and how far it went before she changed her mind.
