Cilantro and onions. Y'all wouldn't last a day in Mexico.
For the longest time I didn't even know what cilantro tasted like. I thought maybe it tasted like nothing to me. The reason for this was once when my wife and I were at a Mexican restaurant, I got some green salsa. I dipped my chip in and complained to my wife that it tasted like nothing. She dipped a chip in and started gagging. She said it tasted like pure liquid cilantro.
One day I was cutting some cilantro for some tacos I was making at home, and I took a big bite. It didn't taste like nothing to me. I just always associated the flavor with lime because anytime I have something with cilantro, I always squeeze a lime over it.
I always thought that was mildly interesting.

Pineapple pizza.
Is it much different from other savory food that comes with a sweet side dish? Just as cranberry fits to venison, the taste of pineapple fits the ham those pizze typically are covered with.
Fucking war criminal
Systemd apparently. Every time someone brings it up, the thread devolves into a religious flame war.

Rick Astley. I never really got the point of people getting mad at Never Gonna Give You Up, if anything getting rickrolled is a nice surprise to me.
Compassion and empathy for animals. Yeah, they say they like it if you don't have any follow-up questions, but things go downhill real fuckin' fast after that.
Watch so-called dog people turn beet red in an instant when you try to point out that they are literally enslaving a sentient creature with feelings, who has been bred over hundreds of generations in inhumane conditions, resulting incountless congenital health problems, in order to produce a docile beast who can simulate affection and is literally miserable for the rest of the day when their human isn't with them.
But no, they say, Mr. Floof is happy! He's just shitting the bedroom floor and digging compulsively because that's what dogs do. Sorry Floof, I can't walk you today, now go run your ruts in the tiny yard and pretend this plastic toy is an animal you hunted.
It's peak cognitive dissonance that most people struggle with due to years of social conditioning and lobbying. You can't even publish the shit in the news any more. Add to the fact a lot of people just don't think about shit at all, and it is a reality most people don't want to see when confronted. Frustrating to say the least.

The Last Jedi.
I left the theater on opening night thrilled with what I saw. I couldn't wait to go online and read all the positive reactions and theories for the next one... Whelp.
I was shocked to discover the hatred the old live action Mario movie gets. I enjoyed it when it came out when I was a kid. I rewatched it as an adult to see if my memory was faultyβ¦ still enjoyed it. Itβs a little campy, but itβs a fun romp! I unironically enjoy it, as a good movie and not as a βso-bad-itβs-goodβ movie. And yet it gets so much hateβ¦
The idea that we ought to improve society somewhat, even while participating in it. 
Polyamory. I knew a lot of people didn't understand, but the visceral disgust at the idea that a lot of people have is surprising.
This is so strange to me. Not the polyamory, the weird hate of it. I'm in a monogamous relationship and polyamory just doesn't appeal to me. But I don't really give a shit about what other people do or who they fuck as long as it's consentual.
