Why is this paedophile, horror / thriller equivalent of Paulo

He's really good at writing characters.

>>9819516
Is he tho?

>>9819511
Is there any particular reason people here keep calling him a pedophile? Is there any actual evidence of this beyond conjecture and hearsay? If so please link. Also pedophilia isn't even illegal. Just pederasty.

There is no country in the world where pedophilia is illegal.

Just watching CP, acquiring it, distributing it or illegal sex acts are illegal. You still don't get inprisoned for your thoughts just yet.... if you keep them for yourself.

>>9819608
I believe the poster is making a distinction between pedophilla, the sexual attraction to children, and actually committing sex crimes based on those desires.

Also, in some countries accusing people of being pedophiles without having proof is illegal. This kind of claim can get you into a libel lawsuit

There's no evidence that he's a pedophile, you retard. Also, he isn't considered one of the greatest writers of our generation.

I fell for the dark tower meme when I was in high school. He's a high volume writer that is incredibly inconsistent. His desperation for daily, nonstop, production have led to strange, sometimes ridiculous plot twists that render a lot of the books almost incoherent. His two best books (and also the two most coherent) are The Running Man and the 4th book of the Dark Tower series. Also after he stopped doing mountains of cocaine he's never written the same.

Honestly he can't be said to have even a decent book when you factor in the opportunity cost of reading them.
For every King book I read that is time I could have spent reading something else. Why would I waste time reading blood 'n guts spooky tales schlock. It's literally trash. I don't even mean on moral grounds I mean there's nothing of even aesthetic value in his books which is the easiest threshold to reach. And he can't even manage that. He's McDonald's.

Stop playing fast and loose with words that have clearly established connotations in order to sow confusion and reap the relativistic fucked up "rewards"

This might work on the normies but you're posting with the big boys now. No one is confused by your sleight of hand bullshit way to segway into a discussion about the supposed questionable status of pedophilia's legality. We all know the real game you're playing here and it's absolutely despicable.

That's some of the meanest shit anyone's ever said about anyone, but it perfectly applies to this scumbag.

>No one is confused by your sleight of hand bullshit way to segway into a discussion about the supposed questionable status of pedophilia's legality. We all know the real game you're playing here and it's absolutely despicable.
I think this is why people got so annoyed by that post. We all know where it leads, what follows is countless PDFs, infographs and what have you that show paedophilia is """"""perfectly normal"""""" and that it shouldn't be judged so harshly.
Fucking horrid shit. People like that should be strangled.

He has described himself as the literary equivalent a burger and coke he has no pretensions about himself I doubt his readers do either

How can he live with himself? Self-awareness is a great thing, but it's mostly so in the cases where it leads to self-improvement. To be compliant with the fact that you're a worthless piece of shit with no artistic merit whatsoever and a mass producer of literary garbage can't be healthy, mentally speaking a the very least.

>>9821616

Yeah that's how he describes himself, and then elsewhere he unironically writes a book with the magisterial, Ciceronian title "On Writing"

>>9821611
It turns my stomach. How do leftists cope with the cognitive dissonance of seeing obvious pedophile propaganda like this--daily-- while having the nerve to mock the suggestion that people in power, in their own party, are organizing this cultural shift for their own ends?

>>9821654

I try not to follow Peterson too closely because I don't like being anyone's disciple but it's hard to surpass his analysis when he says that the rank and file leftists aren't really aware of the metastructure of their belief system and what it actually means.
I've spent the last 10 years observing their echo chambers online and every topic is completely isolated. Conflicting conclusions across parallel topics isn't even recognized. As you say there is a tremendous amount of cognitive dissonance but they seem to be able to deal with it via feelings of religious devotion to the dogma.
Every discussion is just another opportunity to trot out the ideology and get another dopamine hit.

I don't find that title pretentious. I read a lot of him when I was 12-14 don't care for him now and haven't read that but from what I understand that book is just anecdotes about writing certain books and his process in general. How is that pretentious? I've noticed a malaise this board holds for King as if people thinks he's some literary master which is a notion I've only ever heard here. No one thinks this. He's a decent author that's about it

It's pretentious to write a book on writing when you're a shit writer.

>>9819511
I doubt he's of your generation and he is considered one of the greatest only in regards to American culture as American culture is what he represents perfectly. American culture is all about embracing trash, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

>>9819511
Because he's cornered the market on his specific niche genre.
Name one horror writer who's written more horror books or is more well known.

Also, he does write good characters.

I've never read any of his books, but I distinctly remember trying to as a kid (my dad likes him a lot so there were always books of his around) but reading about this random guy just getting angry and kicking a dog to death really got to me and I had to put it down. There was something palatably sleazy and unsettling about the characters he writes, even the good guys. I actually really respect that, and considering it's so hard to do, it makes it a lot easier to forgive his shit books.

Oh fuck off. I wrote in my post that I had read some of his work. I meant I never read an entire book of his. If someone makes an impression on you in the first 3 chapters, you can still have a goddamn opinion, so suck my dick.

I got second hand embarrassment from reading your posts. You're a redneck zilch with nothing that should make anyone take your opinion seriously on any matter, it seems. I was about to tell you that there's probably other areas you're good at and that you should leave literature for the people who don't have ADHD, but clearly you're good at nothing.

Get help you autistic manchild zilch, these are all mental gymnastics you're pulling because I outed you as a moron who can't finish a book before sucking the author's dick and defending him. You're scum.

>>9821733
I mean, you're talking to a man who judges (fairly, according to himself, mind you) an artist by three of their songs. Clearly he has no criteria whatsoever and has no respectable means of absorbing the works of anyone in any artistic field in a way that should make us pay attention to the garbage he vomits.

No, but it's an extremely right-wing thing to want to relive the Reagan 80s and create paranoid delusions centered around conspiracies like Pizzagate or whatever you're currently after. It also doesn't take obsession with a board to realize that it's common for people who like to uncritically fantasize about government pedophile orgies to accuse others of pedophilia.

Yeah, it is. Your understanding of historical context in this situation is completely lacking if you can't see the parallels between daycare sex abuse hysteria and Pizzagate or the renewed interest in events like the Franklin Credit Union scandal. You might as well be a concerned mother getting red in the face at a PTA meeting at this point. Have you picked out a modern Twisted Sister to protest yet?

There's no historical context to understanding /pol/, it's a false analogy and should be dismissed as such.

Why are you on a literature board when you can't comprehend even a handful of basic sentences? The only one sperging out here is the one that got mad because of how easy it is to see through common /pol/ patterns.

Christ, you're a basic bitch.

>>9822092
Who ever talked about quality? That's a messy, vague word with no agreed upon meaning when it comes to art. King is great based on his impact and relevant because of it.

Beatles are similar due the impact they had on generations.

Avatar seems like a shitty example and more of a one hit wonder. Even people who liked it, mostly don't give a shit about it anymore, while hundreds of millions still listen to/read Beatles/King.

>>9822134
I don't give a shit about Beatles but comparing them to OD is idiotic, given how they easy outlasted their era. One Direction is closer to BroSis, US5, NYNC or however they are all called. Just look at the fucking sales, Beatles got 500M +, while OD has like 4-5M per album.

Pic related is you right now. There isn't an agreed upon meaning because not everyone can spend 25 years studying nothing but literature or music or film. Art and its parameters for being judged became (with the Modernists) democratic rather than the work of elitists who dedicated their whole life to it.

That's why, today and throughout the past century, we have autistic shitbags such as yourself thinking not only that their opinion on any artistic matter should hold any weight, but that it HOLDS any weight.

>Avatar is a shitty example
It's the utmost example of commercial success, for commercial success is a direct reflection of the impact it had on people who went out of their way to buy it so much it's the #1 best selling film of all time. You need to come to terms with it and accept that "social impact" is irrelevant when gauging the quality of anything.

Which is only a small part of people either way. The Star Wars movies didn't have that many viewers in the cinemas yet they have a much bigger cultural impact.

>"social impact" is irrelevant when gauging the quality of anything.
A work without any social impact is irrelevant and might as well not exist. How can something that doesn't exist have quality? Wouldn't it be relevant if it were any good? Look at classical music, it's still alive and well. Look at the fucking greeks. Good works always will have a social impact.

It's enough to make it the most commercially successful film ever. Seems like you're grasping at straws and backpedalling when you're faced with a successful product you dislike because suddenly its sales no longer justify their quality. Could it be that you're a hypocritical moron with no argument, arguing for arguing's sake and now you're panicking once you've been proven wrong time and time again?

By implying that they are of an inferior quality just because they are famous. Because famous things are "easy-to-digest". Which means that you are using fame as a measure of quality and are being hypocritical to your own statement of "fame doesn't equal quality".
You really are stupid for being so well read, junior.
>>because I touched a nerve
Did you, junior?

>missing its basic point
That lacks any foundation. Your "point" is just your opinion, one you can't even support well. Or at all, sans a shitty comic.

>assuming that I even enjoy Shakespeare
Anon, it's not about you but your viewpoint. One that's often shared by other people who are too afraid to think and have to appeal to authority, pretty much every English professor will tell you how great Shakespeare was, even though the people in a similar position, 400 years ago would argue for the opposite due its popularity. If our elite overlords can't decide ... it's probably time to use your own brain.

>It's enough to make it the most commercially successful film ever
Apparently it's not enough due the lacking cultural impact of Avatar. It debuted 3D in a non shitty way, which probably caused all the movie goers to see it. The commercial performance indicates that Avatar isn't pure shit, not much else.

>That doesn't equate social impact with quality.
Well, lack of social impact certainly means lack of quality. Afterwards it's all vague nor something I ever argued for.

You're clearly getting overwhelmed despite the whole shit being so simple, so let's dumb it down even further:

>no social impact = the work is shit :(
>social impact = the work is good :)
>lack of commercial performance = the work is probably shit :(
>good commercial performance = the work is probably good
>opinion of some guy, whether it's a lit professor or a neckbeard from 4chains = irrelevant :|

Based on all that, it's obvious that King or the Beatles are on the "great" (as in big) side. How great is a different topic altogether.

Is that what you infer? See >>9822092. There goes the rest of your post, because I foresaw the likes of clinical retards like you harping on the "THEY BAD CUZ THEY FAMOUS, THAT WHAT YOU SAYIN?".

Keep sperging out because I touched a nerve, your tears are delicious.

>>9822440
>That lacks any foundation
That seems, once more, your shitty opinion butting into the fact that no one should take you seriously on any matter that isn't flipping burgers and sucking dick. Considering we're not discussing dick sucking or burger flipping here and that it's literature, music and film making the artistic menu of these debates, why are you still talking? Your entire """argument""" got proven wrong by a comic that probably took the author less than 20 minutes to complete. It just goes to show that you are not to be taking serioulsy.

>Anon, it's not about you but your viewpoint
Which is correct on these matters. You can spam the tenets of meme Analytical Philosophy all you want and shit on history if it pleases you (wanting to pretend there was a literacy level high enough to compare Shakespeare to any modern writer), the matter of the fact is that you're wrong. I've listened to the Beatles. I've seen Avatar. I've read SK. They're all complete and utter garbage and there aren't enough temper tantrums you can throw about their sales that you can use to prove anyone with more than half a mind wrong. Just accept that you're stupid.

>lacking cultural impact of Avatar
Best selling film of all time disagrees with you. It's not just "a" commercial performance, it's "THE BIGGEST" commercial performance for a film in one sitting ever.

>Rest is you sperging out and trying to strawman your way out of it
If we're dumbing down things, let me give you a proper rundown:

Only that it doesn't and I pointed couple obvious flaws with it for a good measure. Though surely you have something to support it besides a dumb comic, right? An actual argument, logic, reason ... is it too much to ask?

>wanting to pretend there was a literacy level high enough to compare Shakespeare to any modern writer
Which would be relevant because? He wrote screenplays, these are meant to be acted, his audience loved it. Muh critics hated it. Couple centuries later, the audience still loves it while the critics do to. Shit is pretty simple. With William, we got the cultural impact and the commercial performance. Same as with King in the last couple decades.

> I've listened to the Beatles. I've seen Avatar. I've read SK.
>They're all complete and utter garbage
By what metric? You not liking them is very unfortunate for you and all, sorry that you wasted all the time but it has no bearing on the topic.

>Best selling film of all time disagrees with you
How? I am not denying that it did great at the theaters. Just how many people are talking about the contents of it? How many kids what to be ... however any of the characters are called? Cultural impact and commercial performance are different things, why are you mixing them up?

>It doesn't work that way for the following [Insert Argument]

>>9823502
Pedophilia is no more of a sickness than homosexuality, it's simply a sexual orientation. One that is problematic due factors like consent obviously but just because something is icky, doesn't mean it's sick.

Besides, faggots who want to do underage teens aren't pedos either way.

>>9823530
I actually don't think it's icky, but psychologists seem to. I actually totally understand why some people are attracted to younger teens, but anything pre-pubescent I cannot grok at all.

This is a decent point, well-put. But sometimes I like those McDonald's fries, mon. Mmmm, yummy.

The characters in IT transcend the book itself, which is probably why the book fails at all.

Juxtapose this with the Stand and you get a generic good vs. evil story with dull, archetypes, which is why the Stand was a bestseller and loved by many dull plotfags.

>"It doesn't"
>Why not?
>"Nuh-uh"
You're sperging out really hard because a comic proved you wrong. Maybe try to build a stronger ideology that doesn't get completely annihilated by a comic? Then you won't have the need to sperg out.

>Which would be relevant because?
You're comparing a group of elite people who could read his works to those who couldn't. Nowadays to appreciate Shakespeare, you read it, you don't go see Hamlet at the local theatre interpreted by a bunch of hungover Drama students. You really should've thought of a better example to illustrate your point, but it seems like that limited half a brain you have in your dome doesn't give you a god damn break, you have to be stupid 24/7.

>By what metric
Same metric a student of the subjects of Literature, Music and Film Making use to evaluate things. You on the other hand, judge things on its commercial success. I could judge these topics by their length to content ratio and it still wouldn't be as autistic as judging them by "THEY'RE FAMOUS, THEREFORE GOOD" bullshit you seem to regulate your life with. The other retard I humiliated seemed to think that I reject things based on their fame, whilst I simply don't use fame or success as a metric for judging them. Therefore I do not follow things BECAUSE of that, unlike you. They've done to "sheep" what they've done to the word "literally", but if there was any way to describe your stupid, double digit IQ having ass, it would be as "sheep".

>How
You measure things by their success or social impact. However, as you're a hypocrite moron with no intellectual prowess, you use selecting reasoning to eliminate successful things you dislike from the equation. Avatar's cultural impact was strong enough to elevate it to highest grossing film of all time. These are facts.

You've been exposed as a hypocrite and a moron. Come to terms with it.

>N-no arguments

Not that idiot but this is pretty silly too. It's unlikely any adult will find the left sexually attractive since it's obviously a kid and just as unlikely that anyone will find the right attractive because it doesn't fit to most of our beauty norms.
