Funniest shit is that this is basically how IT was eventually defeated. By being ridiculed and laughed at.
Well, that and a preteen orgy (“no, it was a train!”, yes I know).
That’s why he could only watch the disrespect: The very act robbed him of the power he weilded. In that moment, he was nothing more powerful than a human stuck in a sewer, watching a child literally shit on the thought of playing with him.
Thank you for succinctly summing up why this scene was powerful and not just smut for the heck of it. A lot of people have issues with that scene but this is the exact reason it’s in there.

The orgy thing was less effective with my IT. Told us to get dressed and clean out our desks instead.

Wait what
Stephen King did a lot of cocaine and alcohol back in the day. Apparently he doesn’t remember writing portions of some books, and one entire book.
But yeah, he wrote a scene that devolves into a preteen orgy, that helps defeat the giant spider with poor self esteem.
