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. Completely different and, in fact, perfectly reasonable. 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?
Is this a copypasta
not currently
I remember it being for the need to destroy their innocence or something
It was actually closer to needing to restore the power of friendship
Couldn’t they just like… go minigolfing or something?
No minigolf in Derry, or laser tag
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.
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.
Well if that’s in there, 12 year old me definitely missed it.
I went into IT with an open mind and was prepared for that scene. Kept thinking that it probably made a lot of sense since many King fans had said it had a very beautiful reason behind it.
Then I get to it. And it’s just stupid. Genuinely stupid.
The kids are scared of forgetting each other, because that is the power of IT. It makes people forget as they grow up.
So they want to do something meaningful to remember each other. And Bev is like: y’all can fuck me.
And I am over here like: how are the boys supposed to remember each other if they only fuck you? If that scene was supposed to make a lick of sense, the kids would have an orgy with each other and not just the boys lining up to have sex with one girl.
I can go along with weird and uncomfortable ideas in books if they make sense. In this case, it made no sense. But people either seem to defend it because they just go along with the premise or they defend King because he was high or some shit.
I’m not defending bad storytelling. IT has a lot of cool concepts in it and no one can write about small communities like King can, but I’m not gonna pretend like the kids having sex is some clever narrative device. It’s very, very stupid.
I also think the Turtle is goofy af.
Tbh if my first time was a train of my bros all with the same chick, i’d probably remember them for a very long time even without a proper orgy. Though i’d probably remember them all for helping to defeat an eldritch sewer fiend anyways.
Still sounds like a stupid thing to put in a horror story about teenagers though…
What makes it bad is they’re not teenagers. They’re 11 year olds.
“How could we remeber each other forever?”
“Oh I know, lets all do a childhood trauma!”
Don’t get it
The book has child porn in it. A group fuck where they all fuck the girl.
Not joking.
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.
