  Describing it as porn is wildly inaccurate, it’s not particularly detailed or explicit and it’s not written in a way that even comes close to being erotic

  Today I learned everyone with a copy of the book ‘It’ is in possession of CSAM, and amazon and Barnes and noble are actively and criminally distributing the same material.

  Words have meaning.

    At least in the US, I’m not sure if purely textual would ever be illegal. You could likely get away with a visual detection of the scence with current law.

      The Pedophile-in-Chief is ok with it, even though he personally prefers them to have started puberty, he’ll gladly start a war and crash the global economy to defend him and his pedo pals from being revealed too much in the Epstein files.

        Pretty sure this is case law from like 50 years ago, but okay

    I think a lot of people never saw it coming. He was on a lot of drugs at the time.

    That said, in every single book he wrote, he has very elaborate scenes where a person urinates themselves. Every. Single. Book.

      I think he actually avoided that in The Stand by having Harold cum on himself.

        I’m certain someone did. At least he came on himself and not in a middle school child.

      Why do people love this guy

        His early work was exceptionally good. Tommy knockers, Needful Things, Salem’s Lot, Misery, Stand By Me, were all pretty good. Not a fan of some of his latest stuff.

        I don’t know. His books aren’t that great. His movie adaptations are just okay.

        He has some early work that was good and got a lot of attention. It was back in the prime days of horror novels. Right place right time. That’s all.

        With the right amount of cocaine I think you or I could probably give him a run for his money

      On the one hand, I kinda get the logic. On the other, Stephen no, wtf.

        You get the logic… of… peeing or the middle school gang bang to defeat a monster?

    It’s a weird and completely unnecessary scene narratively speaking but it’s not even close to porn. It’s one of many similar examples in King’s writing, seems like the guy was molested as a kid and tried working through it with his writing

    He was extremely coked out of his mind during those years.

      Famously has no memory of writing Tommy Knockers

      Probably just wrote up his dreams LOL

    Let’s put it this way, enough people read IT that IT got three movies and a TV series.
