Oh yeah, every time I talk about king's IT, I go "It's great except that one scene, right?" and anyone who's read it agrees.
I listened to the audiobook. I felt like I was breaking a law.
don't you hate it when a problematic part ends up being actually problematic and not something that can be chucked up to cocaine?
If you know you know. If you don't, asking about it gets entire posts nuked.
Huh. I thought he publicly quit twitter and moved to ~~blue sky~~ threads?

Man, who would've thought that the guy who wrote a child orgy scene would turn out to be a pedophile? Edit: Didn't expect this to blow up and result in multiple bans... whoops.
I've never read It or cared. I can't see the removed comments.
However, are we really banning people for defending artistic license to write about obscene shit in a horror story? Are pearl clutchers claiming that shit needs justification? That's who we are? Awesome.
The thing is, from what I can see the comments that Weren't removed are mostly what you are saying, defending artistic license. The stuff that Was removed is a bit more... graphic. I didn't get to see All of them, so I can't say for sure, but some of the ones I read were a bit much. Again, most of the people who defended this book and the contents within weren't banned or had their comments removed, just downvoted.
"I have no vested interest in this conversation... i don't know any of the context... but are we really doing this thing that nobody is doing?"
Also, yeah dude, you should be able to justify every single action you take ever. If you take an action and can't justify why you did it, then why did you do it? No, seriously. Why did you do it, then? No, you can't explain. That's what justification is. Go ahead. Why did you do it? Oh- no, you can't explain. That's justifying.
Jesus.
Tell me you're on that list without telling me you're on that list.
Wow, what a massive POS, and misusing "UFO" to boot. Yeah, everyone has seen something flying that they couldn't identify at some point or another. "UFO" does not automatically mean "extraterrestrial spacecraft."
Yeah... All dude had to say was, "Yeah, I meant of course that a literal list of clients with the big fat title "Client List" doesn't exist." Instead he doubles down? Why is everyone suddenly just a balls to the wall massive troll and douche? Man, fuck these people so hard they can never rape children or protect those that do again.
What claim is he even trying to make here? "Everyone knows someone who's seen [the Epstein files]"? Nobody's seen them, and nobody knows anyone who has, and that's the whole issue.
didn't this dickhead also pose with an "I'm speaking" t-shirt after Harris used it to silence anti genocide protesters?
anyway i hope people remember this next time they read It and reach the part that was very predictably left out from the movie
Sounds a lot like Stephen King is very likely to be a pedophile that has raped children on Epstein's island 🤔
Tucker said it out already. They did not leave you to connect the dots; They literally left you with a complete line with only one missing dot to connect. Even the dumbest MAGAts could see through it.
hawking was seen with ghislaine or epstein at least through the photos.
Ok I love Stephen King but now I'm like wtf. of all the hills to die on
Never meet you're heroes. Especially not if you're underage.
It's really funny how all this denial is focused on the existence of a concrete "list." What everybody means, and what anyone honest knows, is that the request is for the release of a list of the people who went to the Epstein island and were associated with the convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein himself.
If you can convict Maxwell, there is evidence of what happened. Whether or not someone has already written a list is completely irrelevant.
There are exactly two types of people who would deny this:
- Die hard, believe-anything-Trump-is-saying-today, MAGA faithful
- paedophiles or people otherwise on the list
I wonder which one Stephen King is....
This is giving strong "I hope nobody finds out I went to Epstein island" vibes.
I wanna tell King he's a shithead pedo, but I just don't feel comfortable among the people shitting on him.
The only sense I can make is that he's saying the administration lied about it as a prop to get elected.
But, of course, prominent Nazi Pam Bondi said it was on her desk AFTER the election. And Republicans just voted not to release something they claim doesn't exist. And logic states that if it does exist and it exonerates Trump they'd be plastering it on every wall in every city, town, and village in America. Sooooooooo.......
I know that Trumpism is a cult, but someone should have pointed out that lot of the in-group is on the list
