A catchy if not condescending term used to describe the genre of movies in which people are tortured and killed, like the Saw and Hostel series. The phrase of course implies that those who enjoy the movies have a fetish for such things and get their rocks off watching someone being tortured.
Unfortunately this completely ignores the strengths of these movies. Saw really does have an interesting philosophical aspect, really. The story is also pretty good. The guy above said Hostel actually is just plain ol' torture, I would agree there.

If you can get past the gore and extreme violence, the Saw series are actually a good tale and not just torture porn.

Get the election porn mug.A comic where there aren't any jokes, it's just a character being nice to another character who is in emotional pain. There is no punchline. The final panel instead says something along the lines of "It's all going to be ok".
Variations include:
-A character talking about their lack of confidence in something not to another character, but to the reader.
-A character getting the courage to go off and accomplish things today.
-A character growing tired while drawing at a cintiq and then getting a second wind.
-A character waxing nostalgic about their childhood, then comparing it to their life now, then seeing kids doing a modern day version of what they were doing as a kid, and coming to the conclusion that things will be ok.
