The clown is actually myself. What is the meaning of the emoticon package?

The clown is actually me. Source: an emoticon: A man (dog licker) took off his clown makeup layer by layer (preparing to stop being a dog licker), but his goddess followed He said a word and he changed back.

Clown originally refers to the clown character in the circus. He has an exaggerated smile and funny movements and expressions for others to laugh at. His own bitterness can only be hidden under heavy makeup. Just like a person who is unhappy in life but still tries to keep smiling, it is often used as a metaphor for a humble licking dog. Used to make fun of each other and oneself.

"The master is actually by my side" was ridiculed at first because it was said to be "high in emotional intelligence", but in fact it was very strange.

Extended information

First appeared in Kangba (Baidu Tieba-Anti-pressure scapegoating bar). Kangba often has posts where they talk about their "troubles" and "difficulties" (often in the nature of story gatherings), and friends will reply with "The clown is actually next to me" to ridicule the poster. Some posters will also laugh at themselves by saying "The clown is me" after telling their stories.

An example and variation:
