Now wait. I just realized, real human clowns are creepy...but I think cartoon clowns can be adorable! I think it's because in a cartoon clown situation, it seems like clowns are a different species, like elves. And elves aren't creepy! But when you see a bunch of human beings made up as elves, walking around, well, that's kind of creepy.
And the same thing with clowns! Human beings, putting on all this gear to pretend to be clowns. It's kind of creepy. Why are they pretending to be clowns?

To address your second question, "What is so creepy about that" - well, I think that question has as many different answers as there are people who think clowns are creepy. But a common enough response might be: if their goal is to bring more happiness into the world, they're going about it the wrong way.
As to the first question you ask, "Why does everyone hate clowns" - everyone doesn't hate clowns. Everyone hates mimes.
