Stephen King is an admitted alcoholic, I think people that end up like that usually have a deep pain inside.

I should add, I actually do know he was the victim of a childhood trauma, which was him seeing another boy run over by a train and split in half. You can see the inspiration in Stand By Me and other stories by him. On another hand, I do remember him getting press a few years ago for making horribly insensitive comments about rape survivors, and that really bothered me

Are you saying maybe he was a victim?

yes, I assumed is drinking was caused by a dark past, I just didn't know what it was. So I assumed RSA when you described it.

Funnily enough I was shown that film when I was an infant.

Like, people forgetting what some clown had done to them years ago as kids ( even murdering one of their little brothers ), and then come together in a support group years later in order to emotionally overcome what had happened to them?

That too. I was thinking about a lurking predator out to get kids, and 8 kids have disappeared in this small town, and the clown symbolizes those who are evil and prey on children. Also, I know in the book there is a disturbing scene where all the boys in the group have sex/rape the one female in the group of friends, which sounds like something thatn would happen as a result of child sexual abuse. Also the clown manipulates the kids, the way pedos try to lure kids. Exploiting their innocence.

Yes! I know if I was Pennywise I'd spend all my time jerking off those sexy little boys. I find more and more of my days consumed with my thoughts of jerking off my little brother's tiny little peepee. I even sometimes invite people on discord to add me @ lfc_1#8854 so we can chat about jerking off little boys. What is wrong with me?

What's wrong with you? You only have five holes in your head.
