I think that we experience an abnormally high amount of pejorative interference merely as a result of the way we look.

Maybe a little, but I see the same nonsense when I'm driving my beat up Jeep. People are just rude and stupid.
The only real difference is that people are more likely to tailgate the BRZ. That's where the TapTurn comes in handy. Maybe half to 70% of the tailgaters will back off when I hit my wig-wag strobes, but only because it confuses them. Whenever I get around to mounting my Supertones, I'm considering relocating the stock horns under the rear so I can honk backwards at them.
