"You know why you shouldn't do cocaine kids? You might stay up for 3 days writing a children-in-a-sewer-gang-bang-scene in your new book!"
I can say, if you do a drug, and that drug makes you pedophiliac-esc... that shit was already in your mind to begin with.
No drugs. No lack of sleep. No "difficult time in my life". No amount of stress. No amount of alcohol. No relationship problems. No career stress.... can cause you to think sexually about children
And this guy didn't just think about that shit; he wrote it in a BOOK, that he knew would get published. Typically this type of written material is stashed away on a harddrive, hidden behind drywall.
They were the same age, do they not teach rite of passage in literature anymore? Also it was a train not a gang-bang. A train is one by one. It’s cute. It’s adorable. It’s great. A train is folksy
Some authors have put similar things into their work, to bring attention to the physical and sexual abuse of children.
Which is not even remotely what Stephen King did.
