Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[(Anonymous)]

I don't have a fear of clowns the way others do. I can certainly see where they'd be creepy and frightening in certain circumstances/situations, sure, but just seeing a clown in and of itself doesn't bother me.

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

I can't stand clowns because I never thought they were funny and I have been in some situations (at the circus etc.) where they were really getting on my nerves with their antics, especially if they try to get you to participate and won't leave you alone.
But I'm also one of the people who kind of managed to completely ignore Stephen King's "It", so maybe that has something to do with it.

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

Yeah, that's totally understandable. Some clowns can definitely be irritating with their antics, for sure.

I've never seen or read 'It', either, so yeah, maybe that does explain our particular attitude towards them :p. It does seem that story is to blame for a lot of people's fear of them.

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[fishnchips]

I think it's also the way they (at least the traditional ones) often do all these things to make people laugh but never show any emotion themselves - I get that people can find that creepy, I guess. But yeah, 'It' was probably to blame for having a big part in creating the "evil killer clown" trope.

That and the kinda freaky-looking plastered grin some of them have-I can see where that might unnerve some people.

Didn't John Wayne Gacy pose as a clown at one point during his crime spree, as a means of luring some of his victims? A real life horrifying situation like that would certainly add to people's fears, too, for sure.

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[fishnchips]

Yes, now that you mention it, I think he did. That's definitely another reason why clowns got that sketchy reputation.
(The way that clownshe often don't speak either is probably another creep factor.)

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, agreed. I tend to think most people who claim to be afraid of clowns just don't like clowns and are exaggerating. I mean, I don't think clowns are cute and I hate the aesthetic, but they are not scary in any way.

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[sparrow_lately]

Yeah me either.

Re: Things lots of people are scared of that don't scare you at all

[(Anonymous)]

When I see a clown, I just see a person in makeup. It's not scary.

Same, they don't bother me at all even if I get why others aren't so keen.
