In the book, the kids had an orgy (or ran a train on the girl) because King is a pedo."
My apologies to you first two for my improper grasp of the context.
My apologies to
myself for having now obtained a proper grasp of the context. 😨
I mean, I'm not sure it's necessarily worse than the "army of rape-happy Pennywise", but it's definitely more immediate in its association with pushing up the cringe factor.
@Sep10trion Well, I'll say this: This is definitely reshaping my impression of King. Though
his comments on it do seem to give it a bit more legitimacy than indicated by the details within your post; On the other hand, while I can be swayed to the metaphor King indicates it was intended to represent, I'm not entirely sure that's a rational conclusion of that particular narrative, either from the perspective of the characters or a typical author. Then again, I can't say I've ever had much interest in It as a franchise either (and, obviously, I've not read the book), so perhaps.. I'm missing something? Nothing I'm reading about that the book's narrative is indicating that I am, though. :S
