The media appeared to run a campaign guaranteed to cause children to be terrified of clowns, starting about three decades ago. They did it with dolls too.

I too was terrified of clowns … I was little but they were towering over little ones at the circus and in your face. Here’s the thing though. They are covering their faces with make up and significantly altering their appearance not dissimilar to wearing a mask I suppose. Kind of a cowardly way to scare the hec out of anyone let alone children all the while insisting it’s entertainment. It’s show biz zare.
It is so bizarre! 🤡 What also was bizarre were my last months in the retail jewelry biz. Never in my career would someone be allowed in a jewelry store wearing a mask. Same thing with banks, yet they were mandated. I was planning to retire anyway in 2020, luckily.
One woman had hearing problems and asked me to take off my mask, I gladly pulled mine off. It was much harder trying to ‘read’ people too. Sales and design are very emotion-driven, it was tough with masks. I guess masks were traumatizing for rape and abuse victims too.

Drag Queens are very clownish so I would think parents have to work very hard to sell their children on the idea of being around them.
Probably requires series bribes. These are some sicko parents in desperate need of virtue signaling points.
Serious bribes
It was the Twilight Zone who scared me! And yes, the only dolls I liked were Barbie and Troll dolls, and I hated clowns.

The only clown I laughed at, when young, was being chased by an enraged rodeo bull after nearly trampling a fallen cowboy.
Yep. Virtue wears a veil, vice wears a mask.
Twilight Zone was seriously scary!
