I have a very strong suspicion that most people hate pineapple on pizza because they don’t have the genetics to counteract the enzymes in the pineapple. It is hard to like a pizza that actively hurts you to eat. I’ll also say that most hawaiian pizza that I’ve had, is horrible and sucks, no in terms of conceptual shortcomings, but just in terms of ingredient quality. They use precooked sliced lunch meat style ham, most of the time, and like, cold uncooked pineapple. The pineapple should be grilled, and the ham should be fried, I would think. Cooking the pineapple helps to cut down on some of the water content that ends up making the pizza cold and soggy, and cooking also helps to break down the enzymes that hurt your mouth.
The billionaire take is less of a hot take than the pineapple on pizza take. I think it’s kinda cause “the billionaire class” is something that people can more easily stick faces to, they’ve become more notable celebrities with the rise of silicon valley tech genius idiots. If you got rid of elon musk and jeff bezos, and maybe bill gates, I think like, a lot of the negative publicity against billionaires would evaporate overnight.
Lots of people are opposed more to the amount of brainspace they take up, and the lack of results they show, rather than being opposed to the idea of billionaires themselves, or, being opposed to the idea of capital, and capitalists. I get the sense that a lot of people would be perfectly fine with elon musk if he was investing in like, big public works projects and not stupid tunnels for his electric cars. I’ve seen quite a lot of people that just kinda hate the idea of someone having a billion dollars, just generally, kind of, in the way that you hate someone who dresses too ostentatiously, rather than having a more specific reason they hate them.
I don’t really like superhero movies as much as I like their animated counterparts. Teen titans, justice league, batman: the animated series, batman beyond, static shock, almost all the spiderman animated shows but especially spectacular spider man, avengers: earth’s mightiest heroes, the old silver surfer cartoon, the old X-Men animated series. Some of them are pretty good.
I think also a lot of people tend to hate superhero movies on the basis that they’re like. Pretentious twatbags. They can’t enjoy a campy, schlocky kind of movie, they have to watch something “good”, something that conforms to conventional definitions of “good”. Never could they enjoy watching mean girls. Lots of superhero movies, basically all of them to some degree, fall into the camp. Like blade, the original spiderman trilogy. Even marvel is kind of, one foot in the schlock and the cheese, and one foot in the “trying to be serious cinema with serious emotional stakes”, and they don’t always juggle it correctly.

For me it’s just that it’s not very good. I like a vinegary, salty, and savory pizza and don’t like sweetness on it.
I wonder if some sort of pickled pineapple might work better for most people
