You know the story isn't real, and any "explanation" that makes it seem logical is purely designed by the author, right? She didn't survive anything. King made up a story about a sexual assault survivor and wrote this into it. He could have chosen literally anything else.

Sure, he was being a weird freak of an author and not for the last time.

Doesn't mean it's not outright silly to complain that a child SA survivor has a broken view of sexual norms and what adulthood is.

That's not what people are complaining about. They're complaining about the author wanting to write about that.

It is literally what the comment I responded to was complaining about.
