Here's why people are really afraid of clowns

I think the current “fear” was manufactured by repetitive enforcement of a negative stereotype. It’s become a self-fulfilling pop culture positive feedback loop over the past 5 decades, so that now no one associates clowns with fun, only psychopathy. A similar thing happened to ventriloquist dummies, only that started even earlier.

Absolutely.

Seriously! I hate this modern oh-so-edgy attitude that clowns are scary. They’re not, you have just listened to one too many assholes who think it somehow makes them cool to not like innocent fun. Yes, they seem like they’re from another time but that is only because you people have done your darnedest to make them irrelevant, to ruin their livelihoods.
