This also reminded me that in his short story “The Jaunt” Stephen King felt the need to include the following lines for no apparent reason:
Ricky and Pat were watching him seriously, his son twelve, his daughter nine. He told himself again that Ricky would be deep in the swamp of puberty and his daughter would likely be developing breast by the time they got back to earth, and again found it difficult to believe.
Everyone knows the scene from IT and how disgusting it is but many do not understand that King has a long history of pedophilic tendencies when writing teenage girls in almost all of his works.
In Carrie he has a section that takes an odd focus on how nice her legs look, in Under the Dome there is a lengthy description of an pubescent girl’s pubic hair, etc…
Like, I get he is a horror writer and that means depicting scenes that are intentionally written to be uncomfortable is part of the genre, which includes scenes of sexual violence and abuse, but there are ways to accomplish these depictions without the unnecessary sexualization of underage girls.

And the graphic description of a child being raped in “The Library Policeman”
And the sewers scene in IT.
Theres also a short story where a daughter, now grown, dwells on her dad cumming with his daughter in his lap during an eclipse when she was like 9.
JFC how much of this shit is there?
Almost all of his works, especially the earlier ones during his coke years, are sprinkled throughout with unnecessary sexualization of teenage girls.
gross, im not surprised, im guessing thats why he was trying to keep things at bay when he was anti-trump for a while.
I never said that.
Said what? Ricky doesn’t say anything in that quote.
spakethed with thine mind
Mine mind, or thine mind?
We Are All One Mind
