if I wanted to start shit I'd accuse this of being a form of ableism
It kind of is, though? I'm autistic, I have sensory issues. I don't want certain things to be intense to the point of being painful and unpleasant, but that's the hand I was dealt. It's a strange feeling to come here of all places and see people shitting on something I can't change.
You're probably reading too much into it, Mao was a very sarcastic dude and said a lot of stuff like this.
Irony? Did somebody say irony? Oh boy, I love irony!
(By indirectly criticizing over-ironic ironybros by engaging in irony myself, I am actually being meta-ironic. (By ironically criticizing my own irony, I am actually becoming post-ironic as it is no longer possible to tell whether I'm being ironic or not.))
Yeah I get the "white ppl can't handle spice haha" meme and it's funny and all, but like, capsaicin is literally just pure pain in my mouth and I will never enjoy that
I'd recommend trying dishes with both spice and yogurt or sour cream or something in them (Unless you're vegan or lactose intolerant of course). That way you can still enjoy the flavour without it being too spicy.
I legit got an esophageal ulcer because I was making my chili too hot. :/
