I remember one particular vid, the dude was just handing out pamphlets on a normal day, some people were respectful but some went from curious to outright frothing at the mouth. One actually went as far as saying "they deserve it."
So no it's not a case of "dude it's on the internet" these were actual random reactions. When it comes to activists though the general reactions are the expected ones. The left hates us and the right are dismissive seeing as they are the only people that really matter in their own eyes.
