    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
