    My Fluttershy shirt, mostly positive, then indifferent and no negative so far.

    [video=youtube;Bq9uSJGJmr8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq9uSJGJmr8[/video]

    Classmates: "You have Balls"
    Female Friend: "Loves it"
    Male Friend: "No Comment"
    Bronies: "Balls of Steel, I would be too scared"
    General Public: no reaction at all

    I want more reactions, there are a few people I don't want to show, some for reasons you won't expect.

    I don't want my grandmother to know about the shirt, because she just bailed me out of debt and being kick out of my house. So I don't think she would appreciate me buying unessecary clothes. She knows I love the show though and explained the fandom and how popular it is to her. This was positive as she understood this was one of my usual go against what's the norm things I always do.

    My Mum as well because she has given me money expecting me to use it to stay out of debt. I have instead spent a lot of that money on booze. She knows I love the show too. She was surprised, but hasn't said anything negative.

    My Housemates, 6 of them. I don't want to see it, because I hate most of them and I expect their meathead reactions to be "wtf *squee!*!" and living with people like that is hard enough without giving them ammunition.

    My insane (literally recently got out of a mental hospital) friend, or guy who thinks we are friends and I am too polite and kind of terrified to tell to go away. Because he is a religious nutjob and I doubt he would give me a chance to explain. I have my computer ponified though so he is bound to find out, but hopefully it will make him keep his distance from me.

    Well so far its been mixed.

    Grandmother- Just assumes I'm gay now and won't listen to reason.

    Grandfather- makes jokes, but doesn't care.

    Friends- Some of them just laugh. The others constantly insult the show and my shirts to try to get me mad.

    Co-workers Some laugh, some question me. The others are really negative, I have to argue about it constantly. The only reason is because one on my co-workers is a big user of /b/.

    Public- Sadly, I had no one in public mention to me, so nothing.

    Cant say anything about shirts, but i have a MLP decal of fluttershy on the side of my jeep.

    People have given good comments on it. Except for my brother, "Matt why the buck did you waste money on a fluttershy decal?" The troll face how ever does get more attention.

    Everyone here is getting some mixed results. Obviously not everyone is going to accept it/positive. Unless everyone around you is cool with it.

    :derpe:

    @Jeepie; I'm liking that Trollface sticker.
    _________

    I'm bound to wear my shirts in public so I'll wait until I get some results from someone.

    While we're talking about shirts...here ya go.

    Nice to see that your classmates and female friends love it :D
    And about the crazy friend of yours.... I'm simply saying that you might want to just take a stand and tell him to leave, though I think I said that already on your thread about that :p
    It's just kind of weird, that he would even go on your computer, too... but hopefully all goes well, anyways.
    I'm sorry to hear your coworkers are still listening to the /b/ guy. But hopefully all goes well for you as well ^_^
    Nice! Fluttershy and Trollface hopefully get along well with each other :p
    But that's pretty awesome, even putting ponies on your car! Nice choice of decals, too.. XD

    That's so not true! If "everyone" here was getting some mixed results, then it'd say "100%" next to it, which it does not.

    Which is why I included the "mixed" option. At first I wasn't going to have the "mixed" option, but then I changed my mind at the last minute. If anyone here saw my post when I first made this thread, they would've noticed a typo when I said "four options" instead of "five." Hence why my first post is edited.

    Well, so far 3 people claim that.

    Thanks. I look forward to your feedback.



    As for everypony else, thank you so much for your feedback in this thread so far. I still haven't totally decided whether I'm going to get that "RBD" shirt yet or not. Today, I tested out a friend's reaction (the same friend that I did with the Colbert brony shout-out about a month back). I showed him that when I look up his name on Facebook, the first name under his is a person with the same first name, but has a Vinyl Scratch photo. That person also had "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" listed as his religion. My friend's reaction was just, "What?" He didn't say anything else, which surprised me, because he's normally a sarcastic person.

    I'd like to see the look on his face if I ever wore that shirt though. I'd say, "Yeah, remember that 'My Little Pony' stuff I was showing you? Guess what? I like it too." Yeah, I'm not sure I have the balls for that yet.

    Also, I was kinda hoping for more votes. Only 11 out of 463 active members have brony shirts? That's only 2.38%. I'm not sure that's enough data, but I understand some haven't seen this thread yet and others, like DRD, are waiting at the moment. So, I guess I'll just be patient and hope for more votes.

    I was actually expecting at least one negative vote to show up, but the person I thought that would've voted negative, voted mixed. Which is a pleasant surprise indeed. Anyway, I look forward to more discussion and votes if they happen to show up. Thanks again, everypony! :)

    Eventually one person will have all negative feedback and that is just really sad. :cry:

    Anyways, so many multi-quotes. Also yeah I wore my RBD shirt to college/public. I'd like to say it's subtle and no one is going to know what it is about.

    As for my other shirts, I guess I'm going to wear a thin jacket with it, just because my classes are cold and it needs more style.

    Wore my Fluttershy shirt again today. Noone said anything, but I was mostly with my class who are used to it. Still walked past a lot of strangers around the school. I would wear it everyday if not for the shirt smelling and me only doing washing once a week. I found another shirt I want to buy and would be even more daring to wear, but I am struggling financially.

    I
    wonder if my classmates talk about it behind my back?

    You'll never know, unless you ask someone in your class.

    Well, yeah. It looked like you were criticizing the poll I made, so I wanted to defend myself.

    That's a good shirt! One of my favorite lines from the show, haha. Dumb fabric! More daring, yes, but I'm sure you can pull it off.

    Do you really think I would criticize anything from you?

    No. :derpe:

    That's just what I stated back then.

    That is the coolest VS shirt ever!

    Maybe next time I want one or a few more MLP shirts I'll keep that website in mind! I have now, for some time, wanted a VS shirt of my own!

    WeLoveFine might be the place my brother ordered a couple Scootaloo shirts from. I'm not entirely sure, though.

    Publicly, no one has actually said anything to me directly about my PP and Rarity shirts. I have gotten a few looks while wearing them (a few of them being not positive or negative looks. I guess indifferent looks), so that's a start, I guess.

    How does the rest of my family actually feel about them

    Mom: Thinks my Pinkie Pie shirt, at least compared to my Rarity shirt, is kinda girly. My PP shirt is primarily white, the Rarity shirt being primarily black.

    Dad: I don't think he really cares a whole lot a this point. I'm not sure.

    Sister: Doesn't really care as well.

    Younger brother: He likes FiM just as much as I do, so of course he's cool with me wearing them. He has three other MLP shirts already!

    No, it's helpful. Thank you for posting (and I'm guessing you voted too?). I appreciate it. Every post and vote counts. Thanks again. :)
