The only person I've heard take the piss was a smelly dreadlocked hippie randomly. I've had a few people say they feel silly actually doing it, but don't mind watching.

awh, this is sad
the worst i ever get is "yeah, that's manly.." or "hey, now you look even more like a homosexual..." from a friend, but i just point out what his hair looks like and we all laugh.
i say anyone who disses you for having such talent is purely jealous! humph!

i've never met anyone that thought that and anyone i have met has always thought poi was awesome granted most ppl i meet/know have never heard anything about poi until they meet me so they have nothing to start a stereotype on.
