Why are Clowns/Jesters/Harlequins always portrayed as evil villains in fiction, especially in video games? I say we need more positive and heroic clown characters in video games.
Why are Clowns/Jesters/Harlequins always portrayed as evil villains in fiction, especially in video games...
Jordan Davis
Logan Gray
Clowns are inherently evil
Joshua Martin
Dunno, but how did you get my picture?
Xavier Long
That's not true.
Evan Cruz
I googled it.
Charles Morgan
uncanny valley. they look "off" or creepy to most people.
Benjamin Mitchell
Maybe so, but I think they look colorful. There's just a certain aesthetic to them that I fancy about them.
Caleb Nelson
Clowns & Jesters are inherently one of the best archetypes for a villain and they’re so many examples that it’s baffling.
Kefka, Marx, Dimentio, Jevil, Spinel, these are just some of the most notable ones too. Yes I know the last one is Yas Forums but given how popular she is, she’s worth a mention.
Jason Kelly
Sylvando is pretty based
Wyatt Rogers
Isaac Williams
You can't get anymore heroic than this.
Jeremiah Scott
Wasn't Kefka changed into a clown in localization?
Lucas Garcia
Clowns are fucking hot
Jayden Sullivan
I'm not sure, but he always looked kinda like a jester.
Aiden Nelson
I always though Gesthal was a Dog man.
Chase Russell
Dropsy is about a good natured but scary looking clown that just wants to be friends with a town that is afraid of him.
You can try to be a good clown in SS13, but that might not always end up well.
Christian Ortiz
Has there ever been a bad execution of this archetype before? It just seems to very popular in any series it's in.
Luis Powell
The Jester, by its nature, is an ACTING fool. The love of the trope stems from not only the pinstripes and palletes, but what those in fact conceal. They're always a fun mystery, villainous or not.
Jaxson Fisher
No one will ever understand the sorrow of a clown. Did anyone in VI's cast try to understand Kefka? Emphasize with him?
Landon Jenkins
Sylvando in Dragon quest 11
Juan Miller
What category does Harle from Chrono Cross fall in?
Aiden Rivera
Neutral
Austin Torres
I love clown girls !
Luis Moore
Same
Henry Moore
What about Harle in Chrono Cross?
Kevin Turner
Landon Lopez
Ryder Foster
I think she's neutral.
Logan Hall
neutral doesn't equal villain though
Ethan Ramirez
Literally what the fuck was her goal
Hunter Harris
I remember seeing some gameplay footage of that. It's in my backlog.
Tyler Carter
Not all the time. I guess most people just find them creepy.
Julian Rodriguez
She wanted Serge's cock, but got cucked by Kid.
Ayden Taylor
unsealing the dragon gods
too bad she wanted the serge dick and wound up called to go fusion dance the Dragon God(El Formo Completo) back
Julian Peterson
Carter Carter
Here's a good clown
Thomas Butler
Isn't the guy from DQXI kind of a good "clown"?
Samuel Gray
Sylvando?
Kevin Myers
Yeah, thats the guy.
Eli King
>Clows use paint masks as cover for entertaint peopñe
>japs use characters whit glases/masks or makeover to hide ulter motives
Acording to japs your face describes your true self if you hide it you are keeping something in secret
Luis Hall
I don't understand the "spooky clowns" meme either. It's just a nigga in facepaint trying to entertain kids. And Gacy doesn't really count because that's one guy.
Jaxon Phillips
Cute
Elijah Taylor
He will be laughing still, at the end.
Juan Gomez
cl*wns a shit
Ian Thompson
fug I dropped this
Jaxon Stewart
>tfw one of these little fuckers teleports to a nearly-empty department and starts fiddling with an Aleph
AAAAAAAAAA FUCK CLOWNS
Jaxon Perry
Maybe they shouldn't be so good at being villains, then.
Christian Bennett
She has such a cute voice, damn.
Jackson Moore
Sylvando and NiGHTS are the most heroic jesters I can think of.
As for clowns there's the one from ARMS.
Luke Cruz
>not having agents in every hallway when they show up
Alexander Wright
Here goes your heroic Jester op.
Jace Campbell
Neat
Carson Turner
Capitol City Goofball?
Levi Hernandez
Clowns are actually Chaotic in alignment.
Daniel Clark
Jeremiah Bailey
Ya'll just wanna coom on some pussy clown. That doesnt make them heroes/heroines
Jonathan Turner
>ya'll
HOWDY MISTER
Christopher Flores
Yes
Owen Rodriguez
>entertaint peopñe
How’d you even do that
Jaxon Smith
Give me clowns that look like this. Please, I need it.
Grayson Carter
Eradicated!
Josiah Robinson
Heroes can be attractive.
Angel Barnes
Act goofy and stupid humans in genera likes mock each other
