Suggestion: Torture Is Ineffective

Would the image on Too Kinky to Torture fit better on Torture Is Ineffective?

We don't see the character enjoying the torture, just not being particularly bothered by it.

From Torture Is Ineffective:

Plot-related reasons why torture might not be effective include:

  • The character being tortured is so badass or pain-resistant that they're able to hold out until rescued or the torturer gives up.

Two replacement suggestions both of which are borderline NSFW:

[up] I think the second is cartoony enough to offset the NSFW concerns.

[up][up]Maybe Panel 1+4 of the first suggestion? At least that gives the context that it's punishment, although it may still be NSFW.

Agreed with OP proposal, and with @Synchronicity's idea for Too Kinky to Torture.

I think I got turned around here somehow.

We're talking about:

I agree with the move.

I think this thread should be linked to Too Kinky to Torture if we're mainly discussing a replacement for TKTT.

I think panels 1+5 from comment 4.1 is funny and conveys the trope without any NSFW-ness.

I did mean [up] for Too Kinky to Torture, and to move current on that page to Torture Is Ineffective. Sorry I wasn't clear about it.

I think 9.1 is safely not NSFW enough to get the gist of the trope across.

I like 9.2. Maybe just the bottom half.

Just to formalize my vote: [tup] 9.1

9.2, I guess. The general being tortured is in profile, his bits obscured enough to be SFW. It also actually shows the torture and him enjoying it.

Spiral out, keep going.

This one's ready to call. The new pic's up and tagged; the source comic will need to be added as an example if it's not already. Caption?
