The hell was that about anyway? And why did it suddenly stop? And like, this shit wasn't limited to one state or even just America, it happened like all over the globe. Was it just a large sect of people LARPing or some shit and it virally spread out of control?

I think just viral LARPing. Would have been cool if it was some sort of viral marketing for IT or something.

Just a bunch of copycat dorks who were piggybacking off a news report of it happening somewhere. I don't think anything criminal happened because of it but I'm sure there were some people who tried to take advantage of it for that. Probably stopped because 1, people stopped caring, 2, police were getting too involved, or 3, the public was freaking out and the possibility of someone "trolling" by dressing up as a clown and being met with violence went way up.

I remember thinking for a short time that's exactly what it was, which would have been so fucking amazing, but nothing ever came of it obviously

Some guy from a shitpost group on FB messaged me and asked if I wanted to "get the clown thing started in NZ" around that time. I declined.

I suppose you loose control of the situation when people start actively beating the shit out of your promoters

That said, fucking look at the length of this list. And some of these stories are like legitimately terrifying:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_clown_sightings

On October 2, a video surfaced of a person dressed as a clown in the middle of a dirt road in Quebec, with a chainsaw that chased after a car on foot.


On October 10, various incidents were reported of a person dressed as a clown wielding a knife chasing and scaring children in Almere Buiten.


On October 1, 2016, in Topeka, a clown was spotted near the intersection of Southeast 37th Street and Southeast Adams Street. Again in Topeka, a few days later on the morning of October 4, 2016, children waiting at a bus stop in the 2400 block of Southeast Colonial Drive witnessed a clown with a knife chasing a 13-year-old girl


Like what the fuck?

What I find more absurd is how some people have a strong fear of clowns (that predates these incidents).

I had a small fear when I was a bit younger for a while, but my older cousins used to make me watch IT when I was 6 or 7 repeatedly

Fear of clowns is a normal psychological response to something that appears near human but with clear abnormalities. At a glance they look like us, but not. That's spooky on a primal level.

I think it started on Reddit and then the clowns started getting shot, so it stopped.
