Yeah, they form a part of that Uncanny Valley where normal things are not quite normal, like china dolls and such. The scariest dream I’ve heard of was the persons bedroom as normal but the clothes they took off were creeping up the bed.

I see your Muppets and raise Coraline. How is that a kid’s movie? It’s flipping terrifying.

From what I understand, some research suggests some babies hate clowns because it screws with your idea of what a normal face is supposed to look like. I’m not afraid of clowns, I always thought they were butt-ugly though and unfunny. (I get it though, phobias are different). I’m with King, WTF people it’s not his…

Or maybe it’s the fact that clowns wear weird crazy costumes, act nuts, are ridiculously over-happy and cover their faces with makeup so you can’t see their actual faces? Yeah, there’s nothing off-putting about that at all.

Lean into it, clownspeople. Everyone is going to want a creepy clown for their parties.

Would that be a country mile or a disco mile?

IIIIIIIIIIIIIII’m Saaaaaaaiiiiiiliiiiing Awaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I think the “clowns are harmless fun” boat sailed with Captain John Wayne Gacy at the helm.

Count me out for that showing.

Exactly. We’ve all seen the movies and shows and read the books.

Be careful. That’s how you summon them into your home.

The best part about this is that I remember it originally being sarcastically suggested by a manbaby crying about the women-only Wonder Woman screenings and sayin something like “What, are you going to do a clown-only screening for It?” And the person handling the Alamo Drafthouse social media account said, “Thanks…

expect a remarkably quiet yet animated mime protest.

This is discrimination against none clown population!!!!

I hope they take really great photos of the theater full of clowns. For me to burn.

I think they’re missing the boat not doing this in Brooklyn as well given that there was a creepy clown hanging around Greenwood Cemetery a few years ago.

This is the best comment I’ve read all day. That being said, the resentment against women stems from being taught that women don’t desire fat men...it’s all fucked, really.

But for reals I appreciate your well-reasoned thoughts.

There’s no one right magical answer, unfortunately. It’s different for everyone. But my advice is to treat yourself with kindness, and take the time to recognize those moments that make you proud of yourself, and do what you can to create more of them.

Y’know, I am willing to bet that there are charismatic, handsome fat dudes out there who are absolutely killing it. But three years ago, when I slept around a lot, I never once had sex with a fat dude.

1. Well, this comment section predictably turned into missing the forest for the trees as everyone scrambled to determine if the author is or is not properly fat.
