Stephen King is a straight up weirdo so why the heck are we still supporting him in 2025 (yes this is about the Epstein list)

I never read any of his books, never got around to it. But then I doubled down on it when I learned about the child orgy in IT. That dude has always been fucking skeevy

wdym “why are we still supporting him in 2025” as if he didn’t have that weird tweet like a week ago. we were still supporting him because before that tweet he seemed like a good guy who writes good books (imo at least)

IT is questionable ( I’m trying to get rid of my copy because I don’t even want to OWN it knowing what’s in it)

yeah I think about IT a lot as someone who generally loves his books. I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t read the scene (I read IT when I was like 11 and wasn’t ready to be reading any sexual content as a repressed religious baby ace lol) so I’m not condoning or condemning it because I don’t have the full context

I will say I think he’s weird as hell for writing the scene and I’m sure drugs played a huge role in it. Not sure how the tone of the scene is so idk if this even applies, but I will say that it isn’t unheard of for 12/13yos to experiment with their sexuality and I don’t think it’s automatically a crime to depict that in literature. You can debate how necessary it was to the book and how icky his portrayal of it was, and I can’t comment on that because I haven’t read it

I do think just based on how everyone talks about it, if I do ever reread IT and read that scene, I’ll change my tune but I can’t say for sure unless I do
