What it's like to be a clown in an age when people think it's fun to hate and fear clowns

I love clowns who are more gentle or diminutive in their style, like the typical ‘sad clown’ or Pierrot.

Fun Fact: The original Pierrot killed a homeless child.

From Wikipedia:

One day in 1836, as he was out strolling with his family, he was taunted as a “Pierrot” by a street-boy, with ugly consequences: the boy died from one blow of his heavy cane.
