      oh I do know who Vaush is unfortunately, but I didn’t know what the clown emoji referred to - is that actually him?

        It’s because you’re not supposed to even talk about him outside the dunk tank, hence the cryptic emojis - you get hit by a clown with a comically oversized hammer for doing it.

        The emoji came about because in the early days this site was full of posts getting mad at Vaush, which led to users complaining that we were just giving him attention and that he’s just some troll and there’s no reason to care about his shit - but every post complaining about there being too many posts about Vaush was yet another post about Vaush. So finally someone came up with a copypasta about hitting people with a “big funny clown hammer” every time they brought him up, and once that became the norm we defeated the infectous mindvirus and only talk about him when he comes up organically.
