I mean, that's...not necessarily wrong? The world is broken. People just started getting powers one day in the 80s from traumatic experiences at the same time three massive monsters start showing up every so often to wipe another major city off the face of the map. One of the major plot points is how close their society as a whole is to collapse because of them. Most of the villains are horrid, deprived individuals who do in fact consider torture to be a relaxing past time. One of the gangs that have territory in the city are literal nazis. Anyone can die, even the Protagonist; the only reason she ended up as the protagonist for the entire story was because she always came out as alive every time the author rolled some dice to see who survived the arc or not when he was writing them.
Like, there's a hero character named Miss Militia. Her power is "Vigilance", which for her meant perfect memory, she lost the need to sleep, and she has a weapon made of green energy in her hand at all times that changes based off the severity of the situation. If everything is a-okay, it's a pen knife. As the situation escalates, the weapon changes correspondingly to clubs, swords, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, etc. She got it when her Kurdish village was invaded and taken over by Turkish soldiers as a child. They used the children as human minesweepers in their pursuit for rebels. That's pretty dark. The story is dark. But do bad things happening to decent people in a story mean it's torture porn?
The story just gets so much bigger than one little girl with bullying issues at some highschool in an otherwise dying city. And a lot of what there is to see, much like reality, ain't all that pretty. Hence one of it's biggest quandaries, "doing all the wrong things for the right reasons".
Ouch.
