The social justice part explains it  
Social justice rule 1: feelings>facts  
Rule 2: facts= heresy  
Rule 3: those who use facts= heretics

@ender1200  
It is a ridiculous concept that justifies people being asocial to remain asocial.
 
@cheezedoodle  
Exactly, no badge, no labels, if you have autism, interacting with others is what you need. The ASAN seems like another terribly pseudoscientific organization with armchair psychologists with a layer of social justice, that’s not good for people.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
I would assume they would all have to be green then.

@Prometheus labs CEO  
You could ask a perv’y fan to make them maybe. Fans have made weirder things.

@Beau Skunky  
And why can’t we have condoms with those logos on the wrappers?

@Prometheus labs CEO  
Because they’re supposed to be these things. Badges so you can root out the socially awkward from the friendly people apparently.  
Kinda an awkward system, if you ask me.
 

@Starry Mind  
Why can’t they be both?

I thought that those were condoms.

@TheAntiCat  
Yea, I’m just an asshole. If they wouldn’t have bothered to answer me, I’m not going to bother myself.

“I dunno man, I personally will just silently walk away if someone with red badge asked me something.”
 
Allow me to translate: “I won’t bother to be nice and helpful because I’m a weenie.”
 
I’d rather let the SJW morons and the like think I’m an asshole because “I said the wrong thing” than not attempt at all.

@ender1200  
I dunno man, I personally will just silently walk away if someone with red badge asked me something (well, if I notice badge anyway :P). I don’t want to deal with overreactions and scandals if I answer them, and I’m just not qualified enough to communicate with them anyway. In this case I will just look like jerk and quickly forgotten, and not painted like Hitler incarnation with rabid SJW dogs on my trail.

@patachu  
That’s a really shitty outlook to hold.  
These tags are not meant for people to wear the red one the entire time. They are there to help people who have hard time signaling to others how much personal space they need.
 
No one can be completely open every time all the time. Even in conventions there are times someone might need some personal space. Most people don’t need these stickers because we are good at communicating how much space we need. people who are on the autistic spectrum or on the other hand have social anxieties can have really hard time with this kind of things. This is what the stickers are for, for the people who have hard or feel really uncomfortable expressing these things themselves.
 
Also many the people who might need these stickers will need this personal space more often. They come to the convention to be with other people, but after a while they might get overwhelmed and then need to cut off for a time to recuperate before they can open up again.

If you need an orange or red badge, just don’t go in any convention, stay in your little world, fueling your autism into a locked-in syndrome.

@ender1200  
I guess you have a point on both things. It’s a good counter-argument to all the “bronies are sexist/racist/close-minded/eat babies/ect.” claims people always make.
 
And yeah, bullying “handicapped” people is NOT cool… It’s ironic when haters do things like that, while trying to claim they’re morally superior to bronies…

@Beau Skunky  
I’m less concerned about the stigma. At least this particular stereotype. Mostly because this stereotype can play to our favor. This reinforce the perception of the brony community as an accepting community that can act as a safe place for people. (Something that holds at least a certain amount of trough to it)  
And besides making fun of us for having members who have social anxiety or being on the autistic spectrum pretty much amounts bullying handicapped people.

The man believed he had prepared himself to bear audience with the pink creature that lied so far beyond the veil, so far outside the realms of even it’s own stretched-thin reality.
 
He was wrong.

@ender1200  
My only problem with the Bronycon color communication badges are, they kinda reinforce the stereotype that bronies are socially-awkward, can’t communicate, and such… It’s like saying so many of us are, that we need badges to know who to communicate with, and who not to.
 
Surprised no haters made a parody pic of a bunch of people, but every single one with red badges, and then write “brony convention” under it. (I admit, that would be more funnier then the usual “dye bronies!” propoganda they make.)

@Minus  
Iv’e been reading about this a bit more. These taggs are definatly not somehting that most people need in a con, but some people who are uncomfterble in lage crowds could feel a lot more secure with them. Their main effect is to assure the person wearing them that other will respect their private space.
 
If could be the differance for someone between having or not having the cuarage to attend a convention than they are worth it.

I have never had anyone try to talk to me against my will at any con I have ever been to. This colour coded thing is an awful idea. But it’s also kinda funny and I look forward to seeing more jokes made about it.

@Background Pony #399C  
Isn’t that a vampire, or goth kid? :P

Thin. Pale. Red eyes. Bags under eyes. Afraid of the daylight. Active at night.
 
That’s better?

@Van  
or people wear it because they’re mindful of austists

@Van  
Yeah, surprisingly some tend to self-diagnose themselves with many different things…

.

@greaterlimits  
You might have a point.
 
Also, anyone notice DanielTepesKraus below has a green badge icon?
