did Stephen king shit in everyones cereal

[–] chrislowles@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

We don't need to worry about the files being released cuz the ego of everyone that could be in them is probably big enough that they'll all tell on themselves in due time anyway.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 131 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Suddenly, the book IT comes back to me. Probably for no reason.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 75 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, that one scene that all the movies conspicuously skipped...

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok, i didnt read the book. Put a spoiler tag and tell

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 65 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As a passage into adulthood ritual or some other mescaline fueled nonsense the boys run a train on the girl.

No spoiler tag. Now everyone must bear this cursed knowledge of a thirty year old book.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 53 points 2 days ago

Worth being clear that all the people in question are between 10 and 13.

I actually never read the book, but heard of that one scene and can't imagine it would have felt like it should have fit in, and really should have raised more questions about... Everything really.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Nothing to see here! Move along now!

He's not defending Trump or Epstein. He says that shit is all true, he just doesn't believe there's an actual list.

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 94 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If he's not on it then saying this just makes him suspicious for no reason, would've been better off not saying anything. If he is on it, that would explain some things.

[–] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He is writing a new book that is titled like an autobiography but actually horror fiction about the reality we are in. This is just part of the marketing for said book.

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 25 points 2 days ago

Is it called "putting IT in"?

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

Yeah the last few years his book bug the shit out of me. I read fiction to turn off the real world. Instead he mixes the two. I love the Holly character but goddamn Stephen they don't have live in out universe. Take Jonathan Kellerman abd the Alex Delaware novels. Set it LA not once brings up Trump or Covid. Just a good old detective novel. But it too gone down hill. His books used to be detailed filled and I can remember the plots and everything. Now he just turning out quick stories that aren't all that exciting when you find out who done it.

This post makes me sad, as a huge Stephen King fan (I have just about everyome in Hardback no less) I really hope his comment is sarcasm anc please tell me he isn't on that list? Hell my son got into collecting his books too. We also were getting ready to watch that new show The Institute on MGM plus.

Bro was already a known sex pest with a public history of addiction this isn't surprising.

Something something "author's barely concealed fetish" etc

Addiction, yes, that's well documented. But what's this about being a known sex pest?

I'm not saying you're wrong, he's got lots of money and has authored a few wonky sex scenes in his books throughout the years (obviously up to and including the kids at the end of IT), so it's certainly possible.

But I've never seen his name come up in any real life stories about this. Just got a few pages down into a DDG search for "Stephen king accused" and found nothing. There was a "top 12 Stephen king controversies" article that made no mention of any sexual allegations outside of the IT scene and him apparently arguing against the cancellation of a Woody Allen biography on censorship grounds.

Do you have any sources for your "known sex pest" claim?

[–] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 66 points 2 days ago (3 children)

He's saying that it was a ruse Trump lied about on the campaign trail to gerner support.

But he's saying it in the worst possible way.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

you would think a writer could communicate better with words or something...

[–] InternetRando@lemmy.myserv.one 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes but its Stephen King, the guy who cant write an ending

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

he sure wrote that orgy though.

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, Stephen King is on the flight logs. That makes this at least a little suspect imo

[–] DNU@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago
[–] CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You sure King is not on the list?

I'm reasonably certain of the answer, i guess.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 67 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You mean the guy that wrote the child gang bang scene in It is a pedo? Wild.

Jokes aside, this is disappointing.

Don't spread misinformation.

Gangbangs are simultaneous, trains are sequential, it was a train.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 61 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Gee, I wonder why that could be.

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can you explain it for us dummies in the back?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 57 points 2 days ago (2 children)
[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 50 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And to think that instead of outing himself like this, he could have just stfu.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Maybe outing himself is his kink, don't be shaming

[–] malware@lemmy.zip 18 points 2 days ago

No wonder, given some of his books

[–] dickalan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah, it makes sense if you’ve ever read the original version of the book It.. I will spare you the details, you can look them up on your own

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So Republicans just spent loads of political capital and pissed off their base to block the release of nothing at all? They must be huge morons then.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

At this point I won't trust whatever list comes out. We will never know who has been removed and who has been added on.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, I'm not sure why people are just now realizing he is a POS. He didn't get half a billion by being a nice person.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

He got money by being a great writer.
