Why are movies allowed to promote torture???

Under law, torture is banned.

However, I see plenty of movies where so called "good guys" needlessly torture bad guys.

When good guys are in position to kill bad guys, (once they overpower them) it is often in movies that good guys resort to torturing bad guys really badly before killing them.

This is not only morally wrong, but also banned by law, and most importantly promotes violence among children who often watch those movies.

Eh, capitalism promoting violence as usual.

what movies have good guys torturing bad guys? im sure it's out there, but i question if it's as common as you are indicating. 

I dont know how many, I was hoping people will just accept my claim as true without questioning it.

The movie "Unthinkable" is one such example. The TRUTH is that things like that happen where MUSLIM TERRORISTS need to be tortured to safeguard western civilization, so that is why it should be promoted.

What about innocents falsely accused?

What about the moral degradation to the torturer?

What about the emotional harm to the torturer?

What about the tortured?

What about practicality (Alternate methods)?

What about a use of torture encouraging others, even more free with who they torture, to use it?

Though one can as in your example argue specific theoretical situations can it might be considered appropriate by some.

. . .

Best.Korea just meant this as a joke post, I 'think.

No.

Easy, just don't torture them unless the accusation is based in TRUTH. The rest follows from there.

Arguably it's 'true that American soldiers are soldier,

True that they know military information of value to America's enemies in various wars,

Acceptable then?

. . .

I 'do get (I think)

That you are arguing for exceptions.

Best.Korea's post was vague (For me)

There are often fictional movies, where the protagonists 'know, so well as we 'can know, who the villains are, what they know.

One 'can eventually come up with scenarios far off the beaten path,

Where people would often commit X action.

I'm curious though whether you are speaking of minute scenarios, or policy?

I say this due to terrorism being a worry for people in recent decades.

'Real policies and actions,

Torture 'often taken place.

. . .

Torture, though a horror,

I'd 'assume is thought of as 'less damaging, than say death,

Yet still innocents can find themselves executed,

Or guilt varying based on one's ideals.

People would be more 'free with torture,

Not so 'stringent on 'knowing the party is false, or 'knowing them to be a 'villain,

And moral goalposts, can often end up pushed, as lines are toed.

That's actually a pretty good and well thought-out post.

Propaganda and an attempt to show how it really happens/was are two different things
