Cluwnes are no longer cluwnes and that is sad. A large part of being a cluwne is that your very existence is an insult to all things. I'm generally in favor of any idea that reinforces this fact.
I do agree that there's a culture shift but the cluwne-lovers are mostly a byproduct of empathy; 'do unto others' and all that crap. When cluwnes became redeemable you were no longer killing a 'cluwne', but a 'player' -- a player that could have been you. Add this to lots of asshats holding grudges and the spacers who're afraid of said asshats holding grudges and you get touch-football and participation awards. (random tangent from grumpy old internet man)
Let cluwnes be cluwnes again. It's a bit of goonculture that didn't need to be sterilized.
