Agreed, it can be very hard to feel safe as an MLP fan.

Here’s a fun fact: I had to stop wearing MLP merch at my college because too often, men would come up to me and hug me or touch/rub my back because of it. Strangers I didn’t know would start touching me or holding me because they saw me wearing MLP stuff. There were too many instances of strangers giving me a bear hug and saying “I LOVE YOUR SHIRT” I just really hate touching in general, especially from strangers. Wearing pony merch isn’t consent. At least it told me who the bronies were on campus…
