I actually saw an interesting post about why people are so disturbed by this sort of content, as opposed to all the other HORRIBLE stuff that happens in the series.

A lot of the violence and horror in the series is fantasy, things we really cannot imagine actually happening to us or anyone we know. But things like abuse, stalking, or sexual assault are all very real things that (statistically speaking) likely have happened to us or someone that we know. Torso is so scary in comparison to many of the other villains in the series because his evil is a distinctly real one. It feels more close to home, in comparison to a mad scientist experimenting on people, or centipedes in ears, or dominatrix ball-crushers that slurp them up.
