I created this character called Jack (pic rel) as the protagonist of a comic I am working on. I want him to experience suffering and trauma in the comic.

My current ideas are:

Having him get whipped
Having him get waterboarded
Having him be completely naked in front of loads of girls

What do you think of these ideas I have so far?

Why? In what ways will that serve the story?

Nta, but the naked in front of girls isn't even bad. I wouldn't even mind having that happen to me

How is it not bad? He would be embarrassed

What about having him getting whipped and waterboarded while naked in front of loads of girls?

A bunch of girls suddenly being focused on having to continually remember my big cock and hilariously massive balls? Sounds like a win to me. Any embarassment would be mild and short-lived. Definitely nothing to categorize as "suffering" or "trauma".

Wait, you're a female, aren't you?

Having idea's for scenes are good and all, but making them work with and overall narrative, makes those moments hit harder.

Why is Jack going through all this? Did he do something? Are people just dog-pilling on him? Why? Does he have preconceptions about BDSM culture and decides to 'give it a go'? Only to discover he likes being a sub and then dives into the rabbit hole of crazier and crazier acts?

idk, but simply going; here's a character, read about them getting abused non-stop for the sake of it, will fall very flat to most people.

He is whipped and waterboarded by his abusive father. The reason he ends up completely naked in front of loads of girls if because he is dared to sneak into a girls-only school and the girls punish him.

Jack looks like a faggot with self-harm scars who was already traumatized and would take most things without really being bothered. You should stop trying to be edgy and instead force him to untangle the psychological web of his past trauma to get some actual substance out of him.
