in retrospect clowns got done real dirty by the whole "scary clown" zeitgeist. Like, it's not a job that'll make you rich so the people doing it on some level just want to make people's lives nicer. Like, imagine if all of the sudden everyone got obsessed with "scary preschool teacher" and people were making up spooky stories about preschools sacrificing children to satan and even the news reported on it. Everone would find that ridiculous, I bet.
A somewhat famous clown officiated my wedding. He's a great dude, very nice and very thoughtful
just acting as a voice for the voiceless, there is a reason clowns have that reputation
