i feel like this needs to be a separate post
so if
- modern clown makeup is rooted in blackface/racist caricatures of black people
- and one potential psychological explanation for why clowns are so scary is that they seem “less than human”
- what the fuck does that say
D:
I wonder if this partially explains why me and my zirkus-schwester have always hated traditional clown make-up, and prefer to wear completely different, non-traditional make-up when we’re clowning.
Hmm. Food for thought, what are your opinions?
