    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.

          Why does he have to justify his story to you? It’s fiction, as in not real. No one asked you if it was okay, but thanks for letting us know you don’t think it is. Millions upon millions of readers don’t agree with you.

            No one asked you to reply to the op, either, yet you did. Why is it okay for you to say your take, but not for me to?

        Look, I don’t know why you feel the need to defend a part of a book that is, as you just said, a Child Orgy, but you do you, and maybe you should talk to a therapist.

        All I can say is; when I write about children, or think about children in any way, I don’t ever think about them having sex, whether that be with adults or other children.

          The novel, It, by Stephen King has a scene as described. That book took a hard, weird turn. The whole scene wasn’t needed for the story.

            No, I understand that much. I’m asking why this weirdo is acting like the premise isn’t weird based on the given context.

            They tried to give more? context in defense? of the writing?

            Idk they’re being weird I think.

        You realize he wrote the book right? Like he had literary control over it, he could have just as easily not put in a child orgy

          OMG?! Did he?! And someone published it after having read it. And people bought it and didn’t burn him at the stake for it.

                And people are free to call out how creepy it is, as well as the people defending a child orgy scene.

                And that’s just one instance of kid sex in King’s books… You gonna defend the scene from The Library Policeman where King describes a young boy being raped in graphic detail too?
