I don’t like mayonnaise or anything with it as an ingredient. So I expect that’s probably the reason.
I am the exact same way with vinegar. I smell it and I heave.
@Cosmo fair enough I think it’s actually just down to different lived experiences. Where I live is pretty uniformly white and interconnected.
I am talking three generations of the immediate family living in the same house, with the cousins living down the street. So there isn’t any prejudice...
@Cosmo sorry I guess I get defensive because I live in the land of “well meaning” racists who will swear up down and side ways they aren’t meaning to be “offensive” while completing blowing passes other peoples boundaries.

Character Bashing in the Marvel and Arrowverse fandom. It used to be a thing in Harry Potter but I think it was when I was young enough that I just kinda of stayed out of it.
