Not sure what you mean by "break a guy", they simply requested that he sings songs to get his stuff back. Does not sound too serious if you ask me. I will accept that this is "in game" as soon as you demonstrate in game how a character can sing. If you can't, then obviously it was out of game.
Is this about singing ransoms again?

I don't know why I have to keep posting this. Your entire argument is someone didn't care about having to do something so it must always be ok. This is a flawed argument and also entirely miss the point I was making about it being out of game... I'm sorry you had to link something irrelevant I guess...
Except it's not irrelevant. It's CCP's direct endorsement of singing ransoms. Here's the thing, you get an option, no one's forcing you to do it. You don't have to get your stuff back, or save your ship, or whatever. That's entirely your choice. At the end of the day, you've already lost it anyway, and the singing ransom is merely an option you're given to get it back.
There are any number of uncomfortable situations that players can be forced into in this game by simple virtue of it being the single-shard sandbox that it is. Is discomfort, or "I'm not okay with that", a reason to make it not allowed? No, of course not, or ganking would be banned. The singing ransom is no exception, and this isn't the only example of CCP stating in no uncertain terms that singing ransoms are fine. Your personal problem with that is the only thing not relevant here.
