When did “clown” become such a common fetish?
There’s like a bit of a “clown” renaissance in general, like a lot of younger adults (mid twenties?) are super into clowning out of nowhere.
I mean, ICP’s cultural impact metastasizing is certainly part of it.
But also clown is a strong aesthetic, and we’re detached enough from unironic clowns being a fairly common thing that it can be repurposed for new ideas. Not many people hiring party clowns and most remaining circuses have moved on from clowns as a central element.
When did “clown” become such a common fetish?
but seriously, the aesthetics fandom page on clowncore explains a lot.
I dig it. I’ve been wanting to go to Mooseburger to add some pinache to my science lectures, more “traditional” clowning but it is cool that it’s not just “clowns are scary” anymore.
i blame Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice (2016)
Much like the person in the picture, people like attention.
It’s annoying, but it’s far better attention-seeking behavior than previous outlets for that like being an edgelord or “teh penguin of d00m” type shit.
That needs context
Does it though? The other user implies that the OOP is a clown who is narcissistic and likes themselves.
Ah, that’s a reply. That screenshot is not particularly clear
mechalesbian made a post, then satyew replied, then mechalesbian reblogged her own post with a screenshot of the reply (this is actually normal for Tumblr)
And not only is it a reply, it’s a reply after OP boosted their own post (so it would bump the feed again).
Edit no wait I’m wrong. They boosted a reply they got. What even social media is this ?
tumblr. the reply is in a screenshot.
If the reply is in a screenshot then what was reblogged?
i don’t know actually, i’m not on tumblr.
To me the image looks like a combination of a screenshot of the first post, with a screenshot of the reblogged reply underneath.
But I haven’t been on Tumblr for years so idk
it took me some extensive rattling of the old brain box to process that joke
As someone who doesn’t use mainstream social media, I appreciate the clarification. Sometimes comments in a post are read in different orders. It’s especially confusing here because the middle is an embedded image, and sometimes with posts like this you’re supposed to read the embedded thing first.
Anyway, thank you!
Funnily enough, my experience with Tumblr is purely second hand through screenshots like this :D
that’s exactly the explanation I needed!
Maybe OOP is a juggalo?
