Not particularly. There is a group in the United Republic called the Equalists who believe bending is the source of all evil and oppression in the world...but they are domestic terrorists and their opinion does not reflect population as a whole. While it is true that there are criminals who use their bending to coerce and hurt people, the majority of benders are ordinary citizens who don't cause problems for anyone.

[Granted, there are specific bending abilities that are regarded as especially dangerous, but it's not quite the same as being stigmatized when there's a logical reason for it.]

There's actually a very popular sport centered around bending. It's simply known as pro-bending, and involves teams of three. One waterbender, one earthbender and one firebender.
