It wouldn't shock me, but I'm reluctant to make accusations simply because king writes creepy stuff in fiction. A big part of my objection to the political left in the west is they're willingness to accuse people of ugly things simply because they have the wrong politics. I'd be a hypocrite if I did the same.
Hell, the only reason I pay attention to politics is because of the damage control that sony pictures pulled when the Failbusters trailer bombed (if you don't know what I'm talking about...it was brutal. The first trailer came out, and the internet ripped it a new asshole...)
Appreciate it. Please consider.
I have read a large portion of King's body of work. There are several themes that run throughout:
--Sexual encounters with young kids - both with adults as well as kids with each other
--Struggles with smoking and or drinking
--Death of a sibling. Usually a brother.
--Demonic elements
These themes repete themselves throughout his work. It is clear to me these things prey on his mind A LOT.
For example, George R.R. Martin's characters in the Games of Thrones books are barely teenagers - Danerys is 13, Sansa hasn't menustrated yet, Theon and Rob are 14. Why so interested in their sex lives? Why do they need to be so young? Pedo action, George?
Andrew Vachhs is another lawyer/author that I suspect brings to justice the crimnals or an amalgamation of those he failed to convict IRL. Many of these consist of crimes against children.
In both cases, Martin and Vachhs, I have no idea of their political affiliations. Yet, I see the themes in what they write.
An author's psyche is on display through their work, and becomes increasingly apparent as one reads a large body of their work.
that's fair. Devil's Advocate, though:
--Sexual encounters with young kids - both with adults as well as kids with each other
is it possible that king himself or someone close to him was abused? I'm not saying it's the case, only that it's an alternative explanation.
Like I said, I'm just trying not to hang someone out to dry for having bad politics, lol
These are just the themes I see in his work. Why do you think I am trying to hang him for his politics? That's really shallow and I appreciate the check and it's not what I am doing.
You ask is it possible he or someone close to him was abused.
Sure.
Given the amount of his work I've read, I am totally comfortable hanging him out to dry based on his subject choices and the ever present demonic entities in his work. Something is broken within him. [This goes for Martin, too, btw (not the demonic, just the pedo).]
Over what has been learned the past few years (you may have known how deep this crap goes for a while - I did not) do you really think surface level is as deep as it gets?
Sorry, I do this sometimes. it's unintentional, but I try to state my position and it comes off like I'm accusing someone else of something. No, I don't think you're doing it, I'm just explaining why I'm hesitant, lol. (I also tend to over/under explain simultaneously).
No, I don't necessarily think it's surface level, but it's so easy to fall into the trap of hating someone for their politics and assuming the worst of them for that reason, that I fear falling into said trap.
Not to mention groupthink is a powerful drug...
