this finally explains why the feds were so worried about juggalos
also :o)
Juggalo paint is very high contrast and is pretty effective at obscuring facial details via face scanning
Does anyone really have a genuine fear of clowns? It’s always seemed to me like something people just say because it’s popular
I think it's because the look hasn't really been updated in...100 years. Modern clowns go for a really cheap look that somehow simultaneously makes them both child-friendly and child-unfriendly. Most people who get into the clown aesthetic stuff online seem to have figured out how to integrate it into modern fashion.

I have legitimately no idea what you're talking about, any examples?

Probably not anyone born after 1985, but hearing about Gacy messed people up for a minute.
If you ever want to truly grasp how useless American law enforcement is, research John Wayne Gacy.
There are 37 year periods where minutes happen, and minutes where 37 years happen. :lenin-cat:
Wait, what? I knew about the cannibalism and the chocolate factory, how am I only know learning he was also a clown?
I think you're remembering someone else. Dahmer, maybe? Gacy wasn't a cannibal.
Look there's just too many 80's serial killers to keep the details and the names in order
It's a really old Chris Rock bit about how serial killers and mass shooters are usually white men.
Sometimes very young children are afraid of clowns, along with people with masks on, and other things that obscure a person's face.
For anyone older than that, I have to assume it's influenced by media.
not like a full on one, but a clown does set me on edge a bit
weirdly the "creepy clown" stuff doesn't, just the normal clowns for like kids parties and stuff
Edit: Think i figured it out, it's probably the "enforced fun" thing
I seriously think my little brother watched Goku be scared of needles and somehow managed to make himself afraid of needles too. As a little kid he thought they were cool even if painful and tolerated it all the way up until after school vaccinations the year he started watching dragonball z.
Yeah that happens sometimes. My family never had problems with needles til one sibling somehow did, then we all did.
Somebody must be afraid of them there’s whole genres of horror movies
The horror movies created the fear. Stephen king wrote It about an evil clown (inspired by John Wayne Gacy) because he wanted to explore the predatory horror of a character that children love harming them. He wrote a corrupted clown terrifying because it transgressed. Then it got popular and a bunch of other fiction writers lifted a good idea, as artists tend to do.
I think it's the same with kids and broccoli, especially since kids in different countries have different stereotypical child-hated vegetables.
In Japan they changed scenes in inside out that featured broccoli to instead feature green bell peppers as the vegetable children are forced to eat.
I always thought I'd hate Brussel sprouts as a kid because of Rugrats, but turns out like most vegetables they're good roasted.
Grasp the lathe. Let the left's war paint be clown makeup. :jokerfication:
Hobo clowns are cool. Dad was a clown, and I'm pretty sure that makes me half-clown, which kind of makes a lot of sense actually.
Clowns are too annoying to be scary. Oh yeah haha you took a cream pie to the face. Hm? Your lapel flower actually shoots seltzer water
yeah ok bud
Oh yeah haha you took a cream pie to the face
:volcel-judge: STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!
I mean a literal cream pie. You gonna arrest me for using the word oral or using my friend Richard's nickname?
Clowns were a way to mock homeless people. Of course Americans are scared of getting comeuppance from clowns.
