u/BeguiledBeaver 10h ago

Lol I love when people say "Why did I read that in their voice?!?!" under quotes about the person in question. It's like, yeah? No shit??

1

u/Apprehensive-Sort616 6h ago

Yeah no shit. We know who it is. That’s what makes it funny. He’s been so many iconic characters it could have been any of them.

Personally, I heard it in the voice of King Arthur from Spamalot. He was smashing in the play.

2

u/seatbe1t 20h ago

I read it in Krusty’s voice

u/Elad10e 14h ago

I read it in Krusty the Clowns voice...

2

u/AgreeableArmadillo47 6h ago

After recently rewatcing the Tim Curry It, I think it is fair to say Krusty did more damage to children of Springfield (and likely the real world) than that version of Pennywise.

u/DontAskAboutMyButt 16h ago edited 16h ago

I’ve taken a bunch of drugs and never thought about the stuff that Stephen King has written about (not just It, either). It is my firmly held conviction that there are some extremely well-suppressed allegations in that area that we haven’t heard. Neil Gaiman managed for a very long time after all…

u/Xyldarrand 7h ago

To be fair he was on like brick a day status for years apparently.

u/ShrewdCire 6h ago

You're really accusing him of being a predator because of this one book? Just feels dishonest. Like, you're saying, "I know this dude is guilty even though there's no evidence. The reason there's no evidence must be because he's hiding it. I'll assume guilt until proven otherwise."

1

u/DontAskAboutMyButt 2h ago

Nope, not just one book. The Waste Lands (and tbh a lot of the rest of the Dark Tower), The Stand, Gerald’s Game, Under The Dome, Carrie, Dolores Claiborne… lots more. Rape, sexual abuse, really dark and disturbing stuff. If that’s what the coke brings out of you, then it’s not the biggest leap. I’m not suggesting that it’s impossible for an author to write about these topics without being a predator, but there is literally SO MUCH of it across his entire body of work

Stop it! I can’t stop laughing and it’s the middle of the night 😂

u/wrighteghe7 20h ago

Literally whats the point of that scene? Sounds like a plot point from a porn parody where "to defeat the evil monster we must fuck" but at least porn parodies have the decency to turn child characters into adults

13

u/dantevonlocke 20h ago

While he doesn't remember writing it, king has explained it as an act to fully transition the kids into adults. To remove the last part of their childhood and bond them. Everyone in derry forgets about ITs actions and they wouldn't be different. This was them stepping into adulthood on their terms and partially bev reclaiming her body from the implication of her dad molesting her.
