Okay, so I want to talk about the Gay Bashing scene in IT: Chapter 2. More specifically, the people say it shouldn’t have been in the movie.

It seems like, out of everything, this scene has generated the most controversy and while I expected this, I want to talk about it.

Or rather, I want to defend it and try to explain its importance.

Let’s look at the five main complaints about it:

1) It was just there for shock value.

No, it’s was in the book. The book came out in the 80s when such overt hate crimes where more common and, to a certain horrible degree, more accepted. In fact, it was based on an actual hate crime murder that took place in the town Stephen King lives (I’ve actually been to that town and seen his house, it looks exactly like you’d imagine Stephen King’s house to look). King often mixes real life horror with the supernatural horror to seen in his box as a way to draw attention to such issue. In this case, it was very much a, ‘This is a horrible, evil, tragic thing that shouldn’t have happened yet did because of the evil that lurks in this town.’ In the book that evil is IT -a personification of the homophobia, racism, anti-semitism, sexism, anger, and abuse that is often so prevalent in small towns- but in real life, the evil is just the hatred that people let control their lives.

2) We weren’t warned about it.

Again, it was in the book. The book is over 30 years old and it isn’t like its an obscure piece of fiction. You knew you were going to see a horror movie, you should’ve googled potentially triggering elements.

3) It glamorized crimes against the LGBT community.

Did we watch the same scene? Because the scene I saw was the furtherest thing from glamorized I’ve ever seen. In fact, I was actually kind of surprised how unflinchingly it was presented -horrible and violent and tragic and absolutely unnecessary.

4) It had not purpose on the overall movie.

This is the one I find the most idiotic. One top of the obvious impact of establishing It’s return, there is the narrative and symbolic parallels to arcs of Richie and -to a slightly lesser extent- Eddie -a dark-haired man with asthma (though not really, in Eddie’s case) dies horribly while a man who loves him watches onward, unable to help. It also further elaborates on Richie’s own fears about his sexuality becoming knows, fears that still haunt him as an adult and we see are sadly not unfounded.

5) It was uncomfortable to watch.

Well fucking DUH! If it didn’t make you uncomfortable than you may have serious issue! I’ll even admit that I had a hard time watching it...and that’s the POINT!

This scene and people’s reaction to it, perhaps more than any other, illustrates a major theme that spans much of King’s works:

Don’t turn away from uncomfortable truths. Don’t force yourself to forget memories just because they are painful. Don’t avoid things because they are inconvenient. Evil will always be there and by not acknowledging it, we make its job easier.

So, yeah, it makes me upset to see people doing just what the story of IT warns against. The murder of Adrian Mellon may be fictional, but it was based on something that actually happened in the passed and will inevitably happen again. We can’t pretend it won’t and we can’t ignore it because if we do than the evil that Pennywise personifies will be allowed to win.

There was also those clownfuckers who were appearently sad that Pennywise -the evil child-eating killer clown- was ‘homophobic’ (not sure if he could actually qualify myself, it only used Richie’s sexuality to torment him because of Richie’s own insecurities) and was truly evil. To them I say this:

Get help.
