    I know that I’d never heard a single comment about the word “moist” until like 2010 when apparently overnight 90% of the world lost their shit over it

    Kind of like how pineapple on pizza was just something people liked or didn’t until like 2015 when everyone decided to grandstand about it

      Yeah, generally people like to take a small issue and blow it out of proportion. I’ve always liked Pineapple on Pizza, but I know some people who can’t stand any sweet and salty mix. Similarly, I don’t like coconut in sweet stuff, but I love it on its own and love it in savory foods.

      I’ve definitely talked to women irl who dislike the word moist, from friends, coworkers, and family members. I don’t recall any men getting disgusted with it irl, (except from that one meme) though I can imagine some uncomfortable situations (moist socks, moist undergarments, etc).
