Pennywise kills a handful of people every 27 years and has been doing so for 300 years or so. He probably has kill count under 100.
Between the kills he gets that are directly shown on screen and the number of casualties you could reasonably assume were the result of his actions, Heath Ledger’s Joker probably killed a few thousand people.
Ronald McDonald on the other hand, was the main marketing vehicle for a company that sells food products that are incredibly unhealthy and addictive. He is probably indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions of people.
Heart disease kills several orders of magnitude more people than extradimensional demons or psychopathic clowns.

And if you factor in politicians, you have psychopatic clowns killing millions by passing policy that objectively helps keep those heart disease numbers up!
It's a well known fact that advertising never works and is a waste of money. That's why the entire industry died 80 years ago, and nobody ever published an ad ever again.
I used to believe this too. I was corrected and informed that if it collected as a donation it is not the company making the donation and they can not gain tax benefits from it. They also aren't paying a sales tax on that money either.
The benefit is exclusively the good PR from arranging the donation, which to be fair, they did. If the donation came through a credit card they may have covered the ~3% transaction fee, although they could potentially write that off for the portion that the donation increased the fee by.
Ronald McDonald by like a good country mile, yeah joker has killed a whole bunch of people, but his kill counter stops every so often, Ronald's has a constant flow of smoke coming from it its moving so fast.
Was It on different planets before earth? If so, then It. Otherwise Joker. I wouldn't count a life being shortened by unhealthy foods as killing. It's like an assist lol.
First two are a rogue agent killing only to sustain itself, and a criminal figurehead attempting to solicit societal change. Ronald, though, is a systemically approved, profit-motivated conglomerate. It's always when dangerous systems become systematized that they reach new levels of destructiveness.
Trans fats and sugar are more addictive than many if not most recreational drugs.
Add that there's a lot of food deserts where healthy food simply isn't available or at the very least isn't within the price range of the people who live there and you can stfu with your victim blaming disease shaming "personal responsibility" bullshit.
The whole "sugar is as addictive as drugs" thing comes from fitness gurus showing MRI scans of people under sugar rush and and coke, then concluded they're thus the same exact things.
