"The 'core four' is an excuse to exclude the non-male, non-white, non-skinny members of the losers club." I say into the microphone.

The crowd boos. There are yells about how 'cute the actors are' and 'the other losers joined late'. The room is in chaos. I begin to leave the stage in shame when voices speak up and command silence in the room. 

"She's right, you know." They say. I turn around to see them. The sound comes from a group of seven, their hands are interlocked. And there in the fourth row they stand. It is none other then Richie Tozier, Mike Hanlon, Eddie Kaspbrak, Stan Uris, Beverly Marsh, Ben Hanscom and Bill Denbrough.
