This is a really strange argument with 'It' as canonically the kids are 11-12 and have sex in the book. Are you arguing that King is a pedophile?

Stephen King is...creepy, to say the least. And that scene is an abomination, to the point where most who've read the book judge him for it immensely. Do you not find his fiction of writing 11 year olds having an orgy creepy, anon?

I mean, the man threw in a completely unnecessary scene where 11 year old boys run a train on an 11 year old girl that goes into detail about how each pre-pubescent penis feels inside her. However you slice it, it certainly seems pedophilic and it significantly lowers my opinion of him. Which seems like pretty reasonable rationale to me? I definitely smh that in recent days, rather than be contrite about that scene, he still defends its existence. Not even in a "I chose to include this because I thought this would be the best way to convey their first step into adulthood and their closeness" way, but in a weak, defensive, missing the mark as to why people are uncomfortable with this scene in the first place, "oh, so it's okay to write about kids getting slaughtered, but not okay to write about them having an orgy? Pssshhh, these silly double standards man" kind of way.

It's kind of like how GRRM writes porn of 13 year olds having sex and then goes on to say in interviews that he finds 13 year old book Denaerys "hot" and his ideal woman. Stuff like this makes me question these authors. They're not diddling real kids and I don't suspect they are, but still, ew. But I think anons ITT need to stop making out like pedophilia and child molestation are interchangeable. That seems to be where a lot of the "it's fiction, it's harmless" side is confused.
