What Makes It a Hate Sink?

• It is an ancient, vile monster hailing from the Macroverse who awakens every 27 years to feed on Derry's people, primarily focusing on children because their fears are easier to manifest physically, salting their flesh with fear and killing them in rather brutal ways.
• It enjoys toying with Its victims, terrifying, tormenting, and harassing them before finally slaughtering them.
• It killed a little boy named Georgie Denbrough by biting his arm off and leaving him to die.
• It constantly harasses the Losers Club, taking sadistic delight in relishing Bill Denbrough's guilt over Georgie's death.
• In the last moments of its life, it desperately bargains for its life, which shows it to be just a hollow bully who needs fear to keep itself going.
• It displays arrogant narcissism, forming no alliances and caring for no one but Itself. Although it did scream in agony when Ben crushed its spider eggs, this was was only out of losing its means of an army rather than genuine care for its own spawn.
• Although it is pretty comedic as Pennywise, they don't make its character better due to the vile nature of its heinous crimes.
• Overall, it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, being a vile, sadistic bully who revels in killing children and revealed to be a coward in the end upon being defeated.
