From what I understand from the fandom most are moving away from that term completely because it has that god awful connotation around it, like it's gotten that bad that people have given up trying to save the term and simply go with "Mlp fan". Not that all have completely driven from it but why would you stick to a term that people will only frown upon? It's like calling yourself an "otaku" but saying "i'm not a bad otaku!" even though it's a negetory term.
