And this was the stuff he got published. I’d dread to read his drafts and unreleased material from that era.

Hey now, let’s be clear. Stephen King did not have the clown defeated by a bunch of outcast youths gangbanging in a sewer. That’s just patently incorrect. Every single part. No, he had the ancient terror disguised as a clown temporarily banished by summoning an ancient turtle from the dawn of time and engaging It in a battle of wills. Anyone that’s actually read the book knows the outcast youth sewer gangbang happens after that and actually has no bearing on the plot whatsoever. Stephen King’s not some freak writing a book where the entire plot hinges on a bunch of traumatized kids screwing each other to save the world, no; he’s a perfectly normal guy writing about a bunch of traumatized kids screwing each other for no reason at all. Bet you feel real silly now, huh?

I remember it being for the need to destroy their innocence.
Since that attracts these clowns.

Was there not some time traveling component? Like their future selves had to find each other again and come back ti their childhoods. I thought that was what made the “children having sex” part not as triggering as it sounds,because they were actually adults. Mind you, it’s been years since I read the book. I might be misremembering things.

So … adult-minds having sex with children’s bodies?
That makes it worse!

My ex went on to get a PhD in English with Stephen king as a specific area of interest and I’m glad I don’t know exactly the email to send what you said, well it would be super awkward and probably misunderstood

What the fuck are you on about? Nothing you said is remotely true, this is a gross misinterpretation of the events depicted in the book.
It’s not a gangbang, it’s a train. They go one after the other.

I thought that in order to be a train they should be connected to each other.
