I'm sorry for that experience, I'm familiar with it, but there in is probably why we and Moore regrettably figured out what those like OP and many others still haven't, or can't. No one aware of the fallibility wants complete chaos in exchange, but most stop seeing the point in preening over something defective.
Moore even talked about how his gradual disillusionment happened from a young age, it's not an image he just donned. The authoritarian adults where he grew up would sneer down at the children like they were terrorists if they so much as didn't tie their shoelaces, yet Moore later found himself having to illustrate the unnerving commonality of rape in his work because he'd noted how prevalent it had been yet ignored by those very adults.
As one anon said earlier, it's likely because the culprits were related to those who could do anything about it, or failing that the victims were just not considered of importance. Either way Moore made a point how persistently taken aback people seem at fictional scenarios in his work, yet docile with real life cases around them. There's this "oh well" mode they eventually fall into for that, while having lockjaw over a panel in a comic over a decade ago because subconsciously they know it's easier to tackle. It's the same whenever media points out a civilian doing their part for police involvement only for little involvement from police, audiences get up in arms in protest, but if someone points out real unresolved cases in their area the same people start handwaving the entire discussion. Mental.
It's like if someone saw you didn't bother to wear a watch, start ridiculing your character while arguing the obvious importance of the principle of time keeping, with a faulty watch they keep putting off fixing for one excuse or another.
