#tw torture#I wish fantasy books (although obviously the problem is far from being limited to just them)#especially ones written within the last decade#would stop feeding into this narrative that torture as a method of interrogation is effective#it is not#beyond it being fucking evil#the data we have shows that it's not and that most of the information gathered through torture is unreliable/false#and although obviously fiction is not a moral code of conduct and has no responsibility to be an accurate representation of reality#the thought of even one person (and it is more than just one person)#buying into this widespread depiction of torture as a necessary evil#and that colouring their views of the real attrocities being committed by real governmental organisations such as CIA#makes me sick to my stomach#i'm still enjoying p*ppy war despite this#(censored so that this post doesn't show up in the tag)#i don't have a problem with fiction showing protagonists doing evil shit#this clearly adds to the depiction of war/violence as a corrupting force#it's just the amount of times things like torture are depicted as being effective or even justified that makes me want to scream#personal
