    I’m convinced that people who loudly hate on pineapple pizza base their opinion on the hivemind and are incapable of forming their own

    THEY don’t like it, so I don’t like it! And if I don’t like it, YOU can’t like it!

      I have the same feeling about hating the word moist. I’ve never met a person that can give me a real reason they don’t like it.

        A stranger on the internet once said they hated something in funny way so I’ve now adopted the opinion as my own

        Have you met any person who can give you a real reason why they do like it? Why would anyone have a strong opinion about a word?

        It’s been popular to point out how moist is a funny english word to say for a long long time. It’s bizarre that it’s now turning into people liking or disliking it as if this is something which affects their life.

        People who don’t like the word moist seem dumb at best, mentally unsound at worst.

        People who are quizzing others on if they like a word or not and then genuinely expecting a well argued reply sound even dumber or even more psychotic.

      It’s has been a meme that people hate pineapple on pizza since before we had the internet.

      Knowledge of this meme greatly amplifies the reactions of people on both sides. They know that they are not simply offering their opinion of a random choice, but are engaging in cultural expression.

      Now we have goofballs saying without irony that people who dislike on pineapple on pizza are shoving their opinions down everyone’s through as of it’s some personal slight and not just a silly cultural meme that they are expressing.

      Anyone on either side of this question who gets genuinely upset about the topic has completely lost it.

        Yes I agree. Hopefully you don’t think I fit into the description in the latter paragraphs, I don’t gave strong feeling either way, I just think it’s a dumb meme influencing public consciousness
