If people have been actually hurt by the clowns, that is truly unfortunate. But what has been said is true: it's not the fault of the concept of clowns, it's the people ruining them. If Subeta made reference to the current issue, then I could see how that could be seen as distasteful, but they did not. They simply released Morostide items as scheduled. I am sorry if you are rubbed the wrong way, but I don't think that was intended. Subeta has had scary clown items consistently for Morostide and beyond, and it was never a problem, because again, it's not the clowns. It's people being stupid.

Lock and load.

Oh. My. God.

DR. ROCKSO.

Thank you, Subeta!

NOOOOOOPPE. Ronald McDonald already gives me nightmares. ;n; Someone in a clown costume was just arrested in my area last week.... the fear is real. DX That said these are very well made! But give me ghosts and vampires over clowns any day. XD

October 18, 2016, 11:32 pm by

The art is fantastic.

But noooooope. Not for me, nope.

October 18, 2016, 11:30 pm by

Well... I knew the comments would be raging on about these! If it were me, I would have avoided releasing them this year though, because I know people will get mad about it and I'd just want to avoid all the drama. People will associate these items with the occurrences, there are people who may be offended by it, there are people who are completely okay with it. The mods have already said it wasn't their intention to make fun of the situation! I think these are really well made, even though I'm not getting them because I don't like creepy clowns.

October 18, 2016, 11:30 pm by

"We all float down here!" Yes! I love It!

October 18, 2016, 11:24 pm by

I'm sorry you felt anyone was being pretentious, I didn't read into most of that in that tone :/ This has all happened before, (don't forget the phantom clowns of the 80s) just never with the high permeation and instant gratification of social media. So one thing to keep in mind, the hysteria is becoming more of a problem than the idiots wearing the suits. The boy who got hit by a car, he was the one wearing the clown suit. Though the police didn't think he was out trying to scare anyone or that the people got scared and tried to hit him so it was apparently all a coincidence... Another lady thought she saw a clown on her street and when the husband yelled, they didn't stop so he got out is AR15 and shot into the air.... it was a lady walking her dog. The jerks trying to scare people are bad, but the side effect of fear is a big problem.

October 18, 2016, 11:18 pm by

True story. I was on the phone a couple of weeks ago with the tech coordinator at a high school and he said, "I gotta go. They're locking down the school because of a clown threat." Seriously. While I don't think this was done intentionally to be distasteful, I have to admit that I'm side-eyeing it just a bit. There have been several arrests here of folks dressing up as clowns and making threats.

October 18, 2016, 11:12 pm by

- You could have a whole teen titans costume line up -

October 18, 2016, 11:10 pm by

I love 'em.

October 18, 2016, 11:10 pm by

yikes

October 18, 2016, 11:07 pm by

...As someone who lives on a campus that recently experienced a clown-related assault, this seems a little...tasteless.

October 18, 2016, 11:07 pm by

I absolutely ADORE the shading job on these. Great job, artist!

October 18, 2016, 11:07 pm by

Open carry- I walk softly and carry a big stick LOL

Have a kitty.

October 18, 2016, 10:58 pm by

I never attacked you. I contested your opinion and pointed out that you missed the point, which you did, however, your initial comment was quite... inflammatory. You assumed people were living in bubbles due to fear and didn't understand why they allowed "some jerks" to rule their lives. Not everyone is an advocate of open carry, like you are and not everyone has the luxury of being brash. They have their reasons and you shouldn't denounce (or rather attack) them because of that.

October 18, 2016, 10:52 pm by

No thank you! I will spend my points on other things XDD

October 18, 2016, 10:51 pm by

Maybe because you attacked me personally for my opinions. I am done with this, it's not worth getting a warning over because some people are... ahem, overreacting.

October 18, 2016, 10:48 pm by

Yeah! That’s why the hair/face doesn’t generally change, so people can tell it’s obviously a costume. The thor one is going to be great, haha. I WISH WE HAD A LOVELY YELLOW DRESS SO HE COULD BE BEYONCE. I’m also going to try Robin, too. get some spandex goin’ for good ol’ subetateam.

October 18, 2016, 10:47 pm by

And I'm entitled to mine yet for some reason you feel the need to denounce it. How come you get to have an opinion and I don't?

October 18, 2016, 10:47 pm by

Real world events aside, I love the release. The references are amazing.

October 18, 2016, 10:44 pm by

I am sorry for the people who have had to deal with this issue in real life and who are legitimately scared about some of the clown threats.

But some of the posts in here come across as blaming the clown suits for the crimes, when it's just bad people. Like I said in a previous post, they could be doing all of these things without the costumes.

I get that clowns are scary in people's minds right now with everything going on, but blaming the suits for the actions of the people wearing them doesn't sit right with me either. That's all.

I've had enough of this now too. Agree to disagree, buy them or don't buy them. Whatever ~

I'm sure you could come up with something, even if it doesn't match exactly! I do enjoy the outfits anyway. 😊

October 18, 2016, 10:44 pm by

AHS fan here!! appreciating this

Possibly the saddest/scariest clown story ever.

October 18, 2016, 10:42 pm by

How about you step back and chill out. I'm entitled to my opinion, you don't like it then tough. I understand perfectly well what was said. Why the hell should we let this dictate our lives? I had a clown sighting less than four miles from my damn house where they actually touched a woman, laughed and ran off. I keep a weapon handy but I'm still not letting it dictate my life. has the right of it.

October 18, 2016, 10:39 pm by

That’s me, usually! I have a lot of fun around Morostide using all the rag dolls. My goal is to get a low-budget thor costume to match his rag doll, hahaha.

each of the sets reference clowns from movies/shows! In case some of them sound familiar (like pennywise from IT). I’m happy people are finding the references pretty quickly/easily!

I’ve had a friend that’s had to deal with clown(s) near her college campus (we’re from North Carolina, where there has been quite a few clown sightings). I get that it’s terrifying. With my comments about how these are specifically in reference to common Halloween Clowns, I’m not belittling/trying to offend those that have an issue with them, btw! I'm just pointing out their references/the fact that it’s horror/scary movie season with Halloween right around the corner (well all month it’s halloween if you ask some people) and that's why they've been released now. It's art that has been done for a while (beflore a lot of the spottings happened tbh) and has been paid for, we can't just not use it.

October 18, 2016, 10:35 pm by

You are seriously missing the point, which is: that the timing of these items is frickin' horrible. Given the grievous acts of bodily harm these "jerks" have done to people (did you miss lull's comment about a kid being hit by a car thanks to these clowns) the timing of this items release is just... baaaaad. Like seriously not worth the bad PR bad. Again, there is nothing to be done about them now, I know, but I'm not living in a bubble because I choose to be wary at night, take the threat seriously and voice my disdain for the piss-poor timing of the release.

Perhaps making fun was the wrong way to put it but people are belittling the complaints raised and are thinking they're somehow higher than those of us associating clowns with threat thanks to current events. Which has been the complaint since the start: The frigging timing. Examples of people being pretentious:

Quote by rah

If we start saying that clowns are in poor taste because currently people are dressing up as clowns to create havoc and scare people...there are so many more things we&;d have to cut out of Morostide.

Quote by Muerte

Evil clowns have been a concept a lot longer than a handful of dickweeds asking to be knocked out.
Other things that have been used to scare and hurt people that Subeta should also stay away from because other knock-my-lights-out people have used them: hockey masks, masks of peoples faces, beanies, fairy costumes, stockings, any form of weapons of any sort, cutlery, apples, shaving equipment, lawnmowers, wigs, makeup, flowers, various kinds of cloth/clothing, plastic, cloth bags, skull masks... really any masks at all. Anything related to blood, witches, zombies... Oh boy I could be here all day listing things.

Quote by die

Maybe because it wasn&;t a bad idea. Should staff remove all guns because people use them to hurt people? Or all knives, pillows are used to smother people- bears maul people let&;s remove them too and wolves... good grief people stop reading into something that was not even used in the intent you are putting it.

Die's comment here is a logical fallacy, btw. Jumping to an insane degree in response to simple criticism. Not many have advocated for the items removal, (in fact, I think I've only seen one person ask for that,) but you'd swear by his testimony that that's what we're all barking for. We're not. We're upset that these items were released now, during a time where clown has become synonymous with terrorist, and are currently defending our opinions because the witty among us, can't seem to grasp why we find it a big deal.

October 18, 2016, 10:34 pm by

MUCH SQUEALING AND GLEEFUL CLAPPING WAS MADE WHEN I SAW THE ROCK N ROLL CLOWN <3 <3 <3

October 18, 2016, 10:31 pm by

Did you know murders and misfortunes happen almost everyday in the real world? Sadly, we don't live in a happy world where everything is sunshine and blue skies, Subeta is meant to be a place where you come and relax, chat with friends, and escape the real world. Now I do feel bad for those who were victims, don't get me wrong, but don't bash Subeta because they just so happened to release clown items. Subeta can't control what people do in real life, so it's unfair to become upset at them. That's all I saying, if you have anger, then direct the anger at the real-life criminals that are doing this, not coming on here and being upset at the wrong people, that is my point.

October 18, 2016, 10:29 pm by

why ;_;

October 18, 2016, 10:24 pm by

People aren't just dressing up as clowns and scaring people. There's been terroristic threats, theft, violence, and even murder. If you don't know anything about what people are actually talking about, maybe try doing the slightest bit of research before throwing your two cents in.

October 18, 2016, 10:18 pm by

Poor timing for sure. I had two separate incidents with armed clowns in my condo complex last week. BUT the artwork is amazing so coo-dose there!

October 18, 2016, 10:17 pm by

Although I do not like clowns in real life, I must admit those items are really neat. Good job to the artist who did them, I'm sure some people are going to make some awesome costumes with those :)!

Okay now to get to the next part of my comment. I'm sorry to say this, but I don't understand why so many people are butthurt over the fact that Subeta released some clown items. I didn't hear about any real life clown problems, but then again I not much of a news girl. Okay, so some idiots dressed up as clowns and went around scaring people? What does that have to do with Subeta? They don't have ties to those people, it's not like they released a bunch of clown items and was like "Lol to all those who were scared by clowns in real life, lol."

I must rant and say that people today are so SENSITIVE! It's like every little thing offends somebody, it is so darn sad. Clown items already exist on the site, so now what? You want them to delete all the clown items because some of ya'll are butt hurt over what some real life people did? People nowadays will do ANYTHING for attention, turn the other way, stop letting little things ruin your day/life.

That's all I have to say since I'm not here to argue, but I had to throw in my two rusty cents.

October 18, 2016, 10:17 pm by

nooope. never liked clowns except for bozo and ronald. these days i hate them all. especially with the creepy clown sightings. do like the pennywise reference though.

October 18, 2016, 10:16 pm by

Oops, sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant sets of each utensil, as they do sets of each idea for morostide and alegarten and every other holiday here. So like a set of mallets, a set of rolling pins, a set of aprons, a set of tenderizers - all specially themed to that holiday of course, can't lose site of these being things that would really NOT be released at any other time of year, which is my point.

.... Who is ridiculing anyone? I thought we were all just trying to get our points across... discussion, debate, it's actually okay, maybe even good to have your thoughts challenged. <3 And personally, I don't think Lilo and Stitch should have taken that scene out. As I mentioned earlier, I think any time you let these fear mongers influence the world with their actions, you're playing into their hands. They want us all afraid, traumatized, backing into a corner, closing ourselves off from usually normal ideas because of their actions.

In the end, no harm in agreeing to disagree. Though I do feel for the people who are upset, and truly sympathize with people who've dealt with it in real life, I don't agree that these should've been held back.

October 18, 2016, 10:14 pm by

Exactly, One of the items descriptions is "We all float down here" Clearly from stephen king's IT just like they stated. i hate IT with a passion but I love these items and don't find it to be in poor taste or insensitive.

October 18, 2016, 10:11 pm by

I will concede that the timing is unfortunate, but to say that Staff are poking fun at it is something that I just don't agree with at all. If the descriptions referenced the real life incidents, then yeah. But they don't. They're just clown items.

October 18, 2016, 10:11 pm by

October 18, 2016, 10:10 pm by

I agree that maybe the timing was off. My 13 year old is scared to death of clowns right now, where she wasnt before. She is afraid to even walk to the bus stop. And the other kids dont make it any better because that is a lot of what they talk about and scare each other. It is sad times when people will use clowns to scary people. In my area clown costumes have been banned for Halloween. People have been told they will be arrested no questions asked if they dress up like them. Maybe we should have waited till next Morostide to release them.

October 18, 2016, 10:08 pm by

Nah, I am not. People will be people and are entitled to their opinion of course.

Happy clowning :3

October 18, 2016, 10:08 pm by

EXACTLY. The clown sightings thing is very fresh on people's minds, so of course they're going to think of that when seeing creepy clowns. The items and the things they're meant to reference aren't what's bad; I don't think anybody's arguing that (well, besides the people who are all "gah clowns no" in general). What's bad is the timing.

October 18, 2016, 10:07 pm by

whispers I love you

October 18, 2016, 10:07 pm by

I think staff should just continue bringing us new and exciting content like they always have, If we excluded every item every person has an issue with from the site then we'd probably be left with 5 things and a very bored user base.

October 18, 2016, 10:07 pm by

Thank you!! I love these. Best morostide gift! w

October 18, 2016, 10:05 pm by

I guess I just wonder why people want to let what some idiotic strangers do rule their life. Like seriously, give them more power why don't you. Why should we or anyone else make changes because of this? Then get all offended about it. You don't have to use the clown items. You don't even have to look at them. Personally I refuse to live my life in some bubble because some jerks want to be jerks in a constume. I don't even like clowns but I am certainly not offended by them.

October 18, 2016, 10:03 pm by

Is everyone really going to fight back and forth over this? -.-

October 18, 2016, 10:02 pm by

...Why? Just how many more tragedies are you guys poking fun at on a yearly basis? Look, I understand. You [staff] planned this months ago because of the IT remake but that doesn't mean you should go through with releasing them after current events. Remember what I said about Lilo and Stitch having a plane crash climax? According to you, they should've kept that in because they planned it months in advance, but they ripped it out because they had some human decency and knew the public would pan the movie. Just like you guys are getting in flack for releasing them even when you know what's going on right now.

It's in bad taste, there's no denying that.

For both Rah and everyone else making light of my complaint and feeling the need to ridicule myself and like-minded others, understand this: I am not saying take these items down, just that it was in horribly bad taste and that maybe, avoidance is the better call next time. (Can there not be a B Plan?) The only reason I am back here, continuing to talk about it, because I'm being made fun of and given excuses for something that, I'm sorry, never should have been released. But it has been released so there's nothing to be done about it now. I get that, but don't crap on me because I have the gall to point out how squicky it is, given this almost global crisis. (It's not just in America.)

October 18, 2016, 10:01 pm by

Ok, but what if it wasn't a meat tenderizer along with other types of utensils, but five different meat tenderizers? This isn't one clown outfit amidst other types of costumes, it's five creepy clown outfits. There's a big difference there.

I don't think these items should be removed or anything -- it's too late for that, really. But I certainly think this is still worth having a discussion about, for the sake of the future.

October 18, 2016, 10:01 pm by

lmao i love these
