my “Whyyyy stephenn???” List:

Bag of Bones 1998 
-referring to a child as being an exotic taste
-“Breasts” 
-His classic racism towards Japanese people 
-The way he mansplains what masturbation is 
-Blue balling 
-His sex scenes take me out 
-The question of “did I rape the 5 year old?” In his sleep and wasn’t necessarily upset about it 
-The list of all the things you can (and shouldn’t) call a black man 
-At first screws his wife and then R’s her corpse in dreamland 
-V.C. Andrews is regarded as his professional enemy (interesting) 
-Mal-formed Dwarves might turn him on? Was that a joke? Why was that placed during a fantasy thought??? 
-He always has a tangent about fat people 
-Women in need of help are to be sexualized completely. 
-“Stroking” 
-Just some other proof the main character is him: MC talks about naming the book he’s writing “bag of bones”. 
-Regains a trust point: MC does not like black people being called bad words-although is this black people generally done or is it specific to the band he likes so much? So maybe not so much of a trust point.
-Over half way and he mentions something the little girl says sounds Vietnamese & exotic
-Whenever someone mentions how young the MC’s crush is, he imagines her in a vulgar way and seems to have an obsession with her being just above legal.
