Hi
This is taken from a very old issue of The Phantom so the source isn't going to be great quality. It's a little hard to make out, but you can see her arm in a manacle in the screen.
Quality upgrade:

how about this shot
◊ from Welcome to the Game? i think it's a little clearer with what's going on.
^ It's missing the watcher. For all we know, this could be a Hostage Video or Snuff Film.

it's got the viewer counter in the upper right corner, but that in itself might not be enough. ill see if i can find one with the Live indicator on it as well.

Hi
I think the eye icon and count are intuitively enough to imply that people are watching the torture. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
4,859 views sounds like something posted online rather than from a villain's private video library.

it's a livestream in the game, but Tropes Are Flexible - should still be covered.

The trope seems to be about a villain watching someone tortured via video, not broadcasting it to the public. That's a pretty misleading name, and the trope has few examples and wicks. It's used on Kick-Ass to refer to torture livestreamed online. Perhaps this needs to be taken to TRS?
Keet cleanup
If you think of this as a sliding scale it would go like this:
- Watching torture privately (Televised Torture)
- Broadcasting torture
- Broadcasting murder (murder.com)
Case 2 can be seen either as a broader version of 1 or a downplayed version of 3.

Hi
I've stopped the clock and hooked a crowner.
Hi
Votes bump; two options in the green ATM, one in consensus range.
Hi
This one's way overdue for a votes bump; the options in the green are neck and neck ATM.
Hi
Calling for 3; I'm not where I can make the swap ATM. Caption?

Swapped in and tagged; caption? I also started a TRS thread
for underuse and definition issues. Old image:
Hi
No caption discussion; locking up.

Grainy JPEG that seems to have been resized in MS Paint. Not sure how it fits the "torture" part of the trope either.
