Its not really about just the clapping per se. Its more about perception . To be honest, Jason has just kind of always had this perception about him as this nice little docile painfully polite beta dude that tries his damndest to act hard and can never quite pull it off . Certainly true that you can never judge a book by its cover. Believe me,...I get that. But........ to a lot of people perception is everything. The red hair, the clapping, the going to princeton, his demeanor, on and on and on. It just ends up reinforcing that image " real or not" of a wet noodle desperately trying to not LOOK like a wet noodle..LOL
