Apparently this is a real plotline in the new HBO It miniseries. What the fuck. (Spoilers for It: Welcome To Derry if you care) (hexbear.net)

I might get yelled at for this, but as weird as it is, I don't actually think the ending of the book is that bad in the context of the story.

Conceptually, it's kind of gross and bad but the real issue is how it is written, the detail given and the type of detail and characterization, especially the end.
