Reactions were generally positive. Remember G1 was not ancient history and G2 was recent. There was excitement at being able to find nostalgic items on eBay and people thought it was cool. There were, of course, some oddball collectors whose behavior caused outsiders to question the whole community. There was always a lot of drama in the community, remember, most of the earliest collectors were girls in their late teens or early 20s. There were occasional trouble makers who sought to mock and tease.
We always had male collectors but some were closeted and posing as women and the men collectors were not large in numbers until the FiM era. There came to be some confusion between MLP collectors and furries but mostly we were a pretty quiet corner of the internet of people with a shared interest in the early days, happy to find others with something in common.
