Increase in negative attention while wearing Brony merch?

It is very difficult to have even just a pony avatar without some person dehumanizing you for it

 

Not true,i had a pony avatar for weeks and months as an experiment and nobody cares

Back on main topic,of course you get attention but it is not necessary negative,maybe people are surprised as they rarely see a guy wearing brony merch

Is it just me or has the social stigma and negative attention garnered when wearing anything MLP-related increased even more than from 2012-13? I've been wearing this around today and though I wasn't harassed, the looks I've gotten from people weren't the friendliest either.

Did you really get hate from that t-shirt, OP? It seems waaaay too obscure for some random passerby to recognize unless they really know the show. Rainbow Dash is obviously a very popular character, but I doubt the regular person would memorize her cutie mark.

 

I hope I don't sound like I'm trying to discredit your example, I'm not, but I'm kind of surprised! You must have ran into a bunch of "anti-bronies", then, lol

Not really...? I mean, not for me at least. When I wear MLP shirts at school, I got a few funny looks. But no one really cared in the end.

 

Whenever I wear them into cities like Minot or Bismarck, I actually get quite a lot of positive reactions. Most people don't care, but I've gotten several smiles, laughs, and brohoofs. Twice, I was stopped to take a picture with people. Of course, most of this came from teenage girls who watched the show. But, yeah. I've had pretty good experience so far.
