So would a sledgehammer be good to use on it?
LOL. I think we both know that'll never happen, Surt.
I'm barely bothered by the extra-marital affairs, and I'd say this about anyone. Part of our understanding of monogamy is socially constructed tbh, and society pressures people to buy into a certain set of ideals about what romance should be. This pressure was even more extreme during King's day, and forces people who are more open romantically/sexually to hide themselves for the sake of companionship. While, sure, I don't want you hurting someone emotionally, I feel like our outdated concept of romantic ownership causes this pain. We need to cut each other some slack, and understand that human love manifests in far more complex ways than "I'll love you and only you forever cuz the wedding industry and popular media told me so. dur"
It certainly doesn't mean you're a bad person. Neither does joking about leading a legion of pussy eaters. The anti-LGBT thing, meh. He seemed more ignorant on it in the transcript with the gay kid, rather than anti-LGBT, and King gives a pretty enlightened response for that time period. I feel like he would have evolved with everyone else as the LGBT rights movement progressed. He's dead so there's no guarantees, but his wife and multiple kids are pro-LGBT. It at least leads one to believe he'd have gotten there too.
Now, if the rape thing was true. Yeah, that gets into "holy shit dude" territory.

And just so we're clear, I fully support polyamory and in fact plan to open my relationship with my boyfriend when we're no longer living in different countries. 👆
But if a man or women went behind my back and phucked around, breaking my trust, I'd beat them to within an inch of their life or more and would be fully justified in doing so. 👆
The law wouldn't see it as so, but that's because the law is wrong. 👆
