ur semi-regular reminder that Stephen king is a HACK and he’s a BAD WRITER and he’s EXTREMELY GROSS and not even like mildly subtly RACIST

like u kno like what you like or w/e but if you tell me w/o hesitation that king is ur favorite author i immediately go 👀👀👀👀👀 and i feel the potentional of my fight or flight reflex kicking in

#at least be like ‘oh man i love so many of his stories too bad he’s [appropriate descriptor*]’ #or like ‘I love the potential of his stories but his rampant homophobia/racism/grossness really sullies the narrative’ #even be like ‘oh I like the movie bc it is further detached from the gross source’ #like!!!! I will Fucking Go for the character of Carrie #but she belongs in LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE’s hands #Stephen king couldn’t NOT have a woman defined by negativity if not outright assault #but anyway
