The Tweet from Stephen King:
“The Hachette decision to drop the Woody Allen book makes me very uneasy. It’s not him; I don’t give a damn about Mr. Allen. It’s who gets muzzled next that worries me."
Indeed. We're not talking about an ignorant Nazi-esque mob of Trump assholes shooting at an abortion clinic, or mowing down peaceful protesters who are against racism. This incident involves supposedly BRIGHT and LIBERAL people in the PUBLISHING world who understand what "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" is, and "INNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTY" means, and who are against book censoring, book burning, and book banning.
Stephen King could be next. Some little bitch at his book company might find one line in one of his books that gets him branded a monster...and that'll be it. I'm not so sure that some of King's books aren't already on the "banned list" along with "Huckleberry Finn" and "Catcher in the Rye" in some ass-backward part of this grand country of ours, where there is too much whining, bullying and Farrowing.
