I think the game is pushing it with the E10+ rating already. Gambling, alcohol, burning people alive, blowing people up, stabbing enemies to death, headbutts, stealing, literal backstabbing, poisoning others, attacking a defenseless monkey, etc.
Now, I'm mostly exaggerating, but the point is, the game has plenty of stuff that isn't appropriate to younger kids, yet it's in the game anyway. I understand that a Whip can be associated with torturing, but if it's used in a different way, such as dragging in distant enemies closer to you(like Grenadiers, which should be fought with a ranged weapon anyway), then players might not have to think about it as a form of torture.
Actually, the whip maybe could be used instead as a type of "side weapon" that can be held in a pirate's left hand, while they attack with the weapon in their right hand. It would be used in the way I mentioned, to drag enemies closer to you for attack. This would go under Dual Wielding basically. I dunno, just an idea that came to mind.
