In "King Dork" by Frank Portman, the protagonist experiences a performance that feels more akin to an abortion than a traditional music act. This chaotic expression, however, surprisingly resonates with the audience, leading to an enthusiastic reception. The contrast between the negative self-assessment of the performance and the positive reaction from the crowd highlights the differing perspectives on art and expression.
The line also reflects a broader theme of individual choice and acceptance within the community of Hillmont. The mention of being "pro-choice" suggests that the characters value personal freedom and the acceptance of diverse expressions, regardless of their unconventional nature. This commentary on societal attitudes towards creativity and expression is a crucial element of the narrative.
