Is it wrong to read Stephen King now?

I agree with JKR not SK on the issue of whether it is possible to change sex. I am horrified at the abuse that JKR has received and believe that trans rights should never be at the expense of women and girls.

I recently read a Stephen King book and enjoyed it and posted about enjoying it on a book thread on here. Someone suggested I shouldn't be reading Stephen King because of his views.

Surely this is just as bad as people trying to erase JKR for her views and does women's rights no good? Am i missing something, am I wrong for enjoying these books?

Guess that doesn't answer your question though. If you're still happy to read then go ahead. It's not something I can get past though, which is annoying cos he is a great writer.

I was always a huge SK fan and am in the middle of one of his books at the moment but this has put me right off him and I probably won't read another one again, which I think is sad.
