Beverly & Richie

"Beverly raped the Loser's Club!"

"She raped Eddie."

"She's such the stereotypical white girl!"

Blah blah blah, cry all you want, bev solos any fucking day of the WEEK.

Most of the people who say this didn't even read the actual scene, or the book. They just found it out on the Internet from a misinformed source filled with misinformation. And they ran with it🤣

As someone who has read and reread the book too many times to count... no one was raped, at least not by Beverly.

Forceful sexual intercourse? Didn't happen.

Do you seriously think Beverly CHOSE to do that shit? That she wanted to fuck them? That any of them wanted to fuck?

THEY ARE 11 YEAR OLD KIDS WHO JUST GOT OUT OF FIFTH GRADE.

only reason they had sex was because they would literally die if they didnt. It doesn't make it right, but it doesn't make it rape. They were a bunch of kids and that was a last ditch situation.

I'm in the IT fandom and fucking FUME whenever I see stuff like that. You can't pick and choose... if we want to talk about how bad all of the characters were, let's talk about Richie, the fan fav

He used the N word multiple times, made jokes about black people, even invented a fucking VOICE to impersonate a black person (the N Jim voice and another one)

So let's not cherry pick, ya? I like both characters and they both did bad things, but if anything, there's one HUGE difference:

Beverly and the lovers club weren't willing. None of them were, as I said, it was a way to save them. It wasn't rape.

Richie was willing to do it and use it for his jokes many times. And yea, since it was 1958, people were super racist and it was normalised but does that make it OK?

Well let me ask you this: does it make it OK to kill a black person's dog and torture it just because they're black and bc cruelty and racism was normalised?

No. And therefore, that's your answer to both questions.

So therefore, here's my finishing line:

Beverly NEEDED to literally let SEVEN BOYS cum in her because of power and shit

Richie WANTED to be a comedian and willingly made up a racist voice.

Ofc, child porn isn't okay and Stephen King is pretty weird for detailing it so much... but tbh, idec. I'm not trying to portray child porn in a positive way, it's fucking nasty and weird, but that's basically what I came here to talk about.
