      So is chocolate, yet no one complains about it.

      “Vanilla”, for some reason, has come to mean “plain” in English. That is a specific linguistic quirk. It doesn’t exist in my native language, and not coincidentally no-one who I share this native language with would think to give me shit because my favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla, because it’d be just as nonsensical and out of the left field as making fun of someone for preferring chocolate flavor.
