Sorry to keep you waiting, ~rjd1922.
I'm fine with the proposed description change.

to revising the description
What's thematically closer?
- Watching torture privately and broadcasting torture
- Broadcasting torture and broadcasting murder

I wasn't even aware of the existence of the trope murder.com. There's also potential overlap with Public Execution.
Very Spooky
This trope could be considered a subtrope of Public Execution; I’d consider murder.com to be a sister trope to this as well.

back lol
Sounds good on paper (he/him)
I'm fine with modifying the description.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
^^ Just to be clear: Televised Torture's current description (villain privately watches in on torture) has little to do with Public Execution. The suggested expansion would turn it into a subtrope though.
Very Spooky
Yeah, that's what I meant; it's mostly unrelated currently, but if the definition was changed, it would become a subtrope.

Consensus seems in favor or broadening it.

So we just need to expand the description?
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Yes. In fact, I went ahead and did so.
Is the new definition adequate? If so I'll close this once the clock expires, or earlier.

Looks good to me.
OK then, closing this as "done".

This trope only has five examples and 18 wicks. The description makes it sound like it's about a villain watching someone tortured via video. However, Doctor Who and New Order examples are about torture broadcast to the public, and it's used on Kick-Ass to refer to torture livestreamed online, like the newly chosen page image. To start, I propose changing the description to make it clear that broadcasting torture to the public is also included, since it would seem too narrow otherwise.
