Idk how to feel about the “Juggalos are comrades” thing. Those documentaries about The Gathering made them seem like a friendly trashy bunch but I’ve had some unpleasant interactions with them IRL so it’s hard for me to judge.
Juggalos are Comrades, no doubt. The Juggalo and Furry bond runs deep and both are important communities for left organizing. clowns maybe rough around the edges but they are just the people you want on your side when shit is rough.
Eh, I lived in a town in WV for a few years where there was a group of like 20-30 juggalos who gave me a very bad impression of the group. Won’t get into too many details but let’s just say they had a habit of getting drunk at night and harassing any women or possibly-gay-or-lesbian people they came across. This town had almost no black people in it but these juggalos certainly did like using the n-word.
Perhaps this was just a particularly shitty group of ICP fans. Also this was a while ago and I keep hearing figure heads in the community have been trying to push back against shitty elements within to maybe all those punks were either pushed out or reformed. But yeah dealing with them left be a bit hesitant to interact with anyone who had a hatchet man tattoo.
