discomfort for some reason? 

mm...

people using the clown emoji to comment on someone being bigoted feels really uncomfortable to us for some reason

and like we don't like clowns but that's not it--it feels a lot like alt-right-style covert signalling

@Felthry /Huh/, that's good to know.

@Felthry IMMENSELY BIG SAME. I 1000000% feel immediately weary of anyone using it, tbh

re: discomfort for some reason? 

@Oneironott i've been told by another friend that it originated that way... i have sent a message to the friend whose use of it prompted this post in the first place because i think they are more likely using it out of ignorance than malice

@FelthryYeah very much the same for us. I just don;t like it.

Also when we've seen it used it's by queer leftists who take *far* too much joy in mocking other queer leftists over minor things like views on fandom discourse.
