>Actual quote from IT,
"I beat you because I wanted to FUCK you, Bevvie, that’s all I wanted to do, I wanted to FUCK you, I wanted to EAT you, I wanted to eat your PUSSY, I wanted to SUCK your CLIT up between my teeth, YUM-YUM, Bevvie, oooohhhhh, YUMMY IN MY TUMMY, I wanted to put you in the cage ... and get the oven hot ... and feel your CUNT ... your plump CUNT ... and when it was plump enough to eat ... to eat ... EAT...”
Umm. Excuse me? You can write about anything you want, but I think this is probably crossing the line. He's done tons of writing like this too; The Library Policeman, Gerald's Game, The Outsider, and Dolores Claiborne are just a few examples that come to mind. Does he take it too far or is this kind of writing ok?

Being Stephen King is more vile than being a pedophile.

IT is both an independent, predatory entity, as well as a manifestation of the fears of its chosen victims
this scene, placed in comtext, finds Beverly reconfronting memories of her childhood, which include of course her fraught but complicated relationship with her father.
at one point, beverly's mother asks her if her father has ever touched her
he never has, not sexully, and until the question is posed beverly had no suspicion that her father might be capable of abusing her in this specific way.
as she gets older, she continually falls into absuive relationships, where physical violence is paired with sexual desire and release
she lives out in adulthood this imaginary possibilty posed by her mother when she was a child, and this is what IT can sense--the fear that her father COULD want to fuck and destroy her, not that he ever actually DID.

Okay, but in The Outsider, which he wrote less than a year ago, a boy is brutally raped with a tree branch. You can't make this shit up. Sexual abuse of children has been a constant theme throughout his work.

>> No.12561145

>>12561126
because the abuse of children is horrific, and it is something that actually happens, which augments the horror
a horror writer writes of horrific things
