I just finished it. What really irritated me was why the heck did he write the part where seven 11-year olds had an orgy in order to find the way back from the sewers. What. The. Fuck. Stephen. WTF.
And IT was definitely female. The discovered it was pregnant when they fought it as Kids. By the time they came back to finish the job 27y later, IT already laid some juicy spider eggs.
I haven't read IT specifically, but I've read a lot of SK, and lot of stories in his shared universe(s) (not sure how many people have connected IT to Dark Tower, but wouldn't surprise me), but knowing him I'd imagine IT isn't male or female. It just is. Or, at the very least, it's not something that really falls into human concepts of gender.
It was a train. But yeah I love his books and I've tried everything under the sun to justify this but just couldn't wrap my head around it being a "having to lose the innocence and transition to being an adult by everyone losing their virginity and somehow connect via love?"
Tbh the orgy ruined the book for me. I just don't see the point of it. I understand what he did narratively, but it is so completely out of the left field and unnecessary that it just shatters the enjoyment. And I know what SK would say: it's about the journey, not the destination. But that is such a load of horse crap! Imagine LOTR until the battle of the black gate and they decide to defeat Sauron by having a hobbit bukkake. Wouldn't have the same place in history, I imagine.
Hobbit bukka... Why man why
"Hobbit Bukkake" new band name I call it!
And then a second bukkake.
