I guess everyone’ll really freak when they find out Libby’s being replaced at his job by Takashi Miike.
Life imitates art–this reminds me of the nerdy guy in The Onion who “accidentally” left a copy of his Gothic-porn novel on the company photocopier. Can’t find it in their archives, though.
"The narrative makes generous mention of lice, snot, drunkenness, bad breath, torture, urine, “turds,” armpits, arm hair, neck hair, pubic hair, pus, boils, and blood (regular and menstrual). "
Sounds like a typical day’s postings on the Dope.
I’m okay with violence, and I’m really okay with sex, but I draw the line quite a ways before you get to ten year old girls and bears.
I’m trying to decide if his being slightly off is the fault of being called Scooter for so long, or the reason why he was fine with being called Scooter for so long.
“Leather Thighs”…profusely illustrated!..

So Stephen King needs to be locked up, also?
Would it make a difference if the bear was called Gentle Ben? Awwwwww. Or if the girl’s name was Goldilocks? Awwwwwwww.
I suppose Scooter should be grateful for not selling the movie rights to Hollywood, because this is the kind of thing the GOP loves to condemn those West Coast entertainment pinkos for as anti-“family values”.
Mmmm, no. Maybe break his fingers.
Boy, talk about a strawman.
Even folks that believe sex should be restricted to marriage do not insist that it be procreative only. I’m unaware of ANY major religious or political group that holds that view, or suggests particular sexual positions are verboten.
Sorry, but for me the ‘10 year old girl being forcibly raped by a bear so she could be a good prostitute and not care about her customers’ is more about violence than sex. Your mileage apparently varies?
Well, then, they should probably stop legislating sex, huh? Making sodomy illegal, making the selling of sex toys illegal, making it legal for a pharmacy to refuse to sell birth control pills to a woman: that’s legislating sex. Just because it happens at a state level doesn’t make it any better.
Personally, I don’t care what he fantasizes about or what works of fiction he chooses to create.
So, where exactly did all those sodomy laws come from, then?
well, Maureen mentioned already the sexual positions issues (certain red states laws re: homosexual sexual encounters, oral or anal sex), as well as the issues wrt sex toys. The other issue wrt procreation is the red places where there are attempts to restrict a woman’s ability to get her b/c prescription filled (ie a pharmacist can refuse to fill the script becuz of their own religious or moral objections to same). I just don’t see that as something a democrat would be urging.
That’s because he left it on the printer.
Doesn’t the Catholic Church think that?
Ha!
Even after 2042 dead? That’s pretty hard core support.
As a general principle, i completely agree with the point you’re making. I’m a complete believer in free speech, and as far as i’m concerned anyone can write any weird shit that they want to write, especially in a work of fiction.
The only thing that might change my take on the issue in this particular instance is that the current Republican leadership, in the Administration and in Congress, has gotten a lot of mileage out of its “moral values” platform, and one plank of that platform, it seems to me, is a critique of popular cultural forms (movies, TV shows, graphic novels, video games, etc.) and their allegedly perverse or immoral content. That a high-ranking member of the Administration indulges in writing precisely the sort of stuff that would be condemned by many in his party is, if nothing else, a rather interesting development.
