Being afraid of clowns is like being afraid of Sesame Street. Like most pop culture opinions such as pretending to dislike the word “moist,” I will just never understand the appeal.
Equally as scary as hearing there’s a carebear under my bed. I’ve done theater, I’ve known clowns; dorky James who just wants to make somebody smile isn’t a threatening character and it’s so boring watching people pretend he is just because a meme told them to.
I am not referring to those with legitimate phobias, obviously. I am referring to pop culture bandwagoners who follow trends without reflecting on whether or not they’re even enjoying their participation. Like people who “hate the word moist,” as I mentioned, which is not something that anyone actually legitimately organically does.
If that was true, that trend wouldn’t exist in the first place. At least one person had to legitimately hate or at least exaggerate disliking the word for that idea to spread, so it stands to reason that more than one person organically disliked the word independently. That’s not even considering outliers like folks with synesthesia who may perceive the way the word sounds much differently than most do.

It makes no sense to be afraid of clowns. It’s like being afraid of shoes. All your fear doesn’t stop them from being under your bed right now.

I’m not afraid of clowns, that’s silly. Only those that hide in sewers
Just fans of “Dead Like Me” trying for a third season.
You do realize that phobias are inherently irrational right? There’s no appeal to it. It just is.
