Yeah, torture in Virtual Reality is definitely something that could become scary in the future. I mean, there's already talk of using it to give someone the experience of being in prison for decades while only days have actually passed. Now imagine if you could design a prison that mimicked the detainee's worst nightmares. You've probably seen stuff like A Nightmare on Elm Street or the Scarecrow from Batman, right? That could potentially become an actual thing if VR gets really advanced and its used for 'punishment' purposes. It might even be usable for actual brainwashing, if you design the environment so it deliberately destroys each and every one of a subject's political opinions or religious beliefs. On the bright side, virtual torture could make for some pretty cool horror games in the future. There have already been tons of stories and creepypastas about horrifying games like this on the deep web.
