That's like saying that a lot of people get murdered in Stephen King's stories, so he must have homicidal fantasies.
Horror writers look for ways to shock and shake up their readers, and judging from the comments here, he succeeded.
Jonathan Swift must have really wanted to cannibalize poor children!
I'll never forget bringing that up in a classroom and realizing adults had no idea it was satire.
... This isn't satire and King is in the Epstein files.
This isn't the only pedophile adjacent thing he's written by the way, not even close.
Did I say King's writing was satire? I said Jonathan Swift's short story was satire.
As for King being in the Epstein files, do you have a source for this? I can't seem to find it.
I believe it's heavily implied due to his defense of Epstein.
When did he defend Epstein?
Looks like I misremembered. Specifically, he tweeted that the Epstein list is as real as the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.
Downplaying the existence of a list of highly likely pedophiles doesn't really put you in a good light. :/ But he never directly defended Epstein, as far as I can see. That's my error.
Yep when your job is to shock, gross out and give people very specifically a moral and ethical panic attack
You tend to do some fucked up stuff.
