If mayo is too spicy for you, gulag. If you eat ghost peppers because you want to feel pain, also gulag. All food shall be of average to moderately spiciness according to the opinion of a middle aged man from India. Seriously fuck chicken wing places that dab inedible hot sauce on the corpse of animal that died to be food that’s barely edible. White people, I fucking hate them.
One day white people will realise spice is more than just chilli/capsaicin.
Me putting Sichuan peppercorns in 1 dish for a friend:
“I think something’s wrong, my mouth is numb!?”
Said person is white, Australian and “enjoys spices” (He had 5 spice, cinammon, pepper and paprika in his spice rack + a bottle of sriracha in the fridge for some reason)

at a certain point it just becomes a dick-measuring contest. a lot of insecure guys feel the need to prove how tough they are, but is anyone really impressed?
Enjoyment of stuff is subjective
spice like all flavoured food is a treat and therefore reactionary
true revolutionaries subsist themselves by IV drips using abandoned needles from hospitals
go ahead and enjoy your ghost pepper flavoured bugs you PMC bourgeois DSA swine

It’s the spicy food equivalent of dumping a jug of high fructose corn syrup on a cake and declaring that you’ve made the cake better. T
he only thing funnier are the places that talk up how dangerously hot their food is (I had one pizza place ask me to sign a waiver before they would let me order the hottest pizza) and then it’s only middlingly hot by Sichuan/Thai/Indian/Mexican standards.
A lot of westerners don’t understand that umami and heat pair extremely well. It should be taught in any and every culinary school on the planet. Salt and pepper go together, umami and heat go together. Hot and sour is good, and I think that’s generally the school of thought in the Americas is for hot sauces (Cholula, Tabasco, Frank’s Red Hot, buffalo sauce in general, Tapatio). Don’t get me wrong, vinegar and/or citrus does improve the flavour better than just straight up heat like an edgelord, and I do really like vinegar based hot sauces. But MSG/Mushrooms/etc that’s savoury? Not nearly as well understood.
I distinctly remember making a spicy mapo dofu for some white people and the consensus was “oh, that’s a nice level of spice, it’s very hot but not too hot!”
It was MSG. In fact I didn’t put table salt in the dish, all the sodium in the entire dish was msg and soy sauce. I bought the chili peppers from the same place as anyone else, Woolworths. I didn’t have a magically less spicy but still spicy strain, I simply complimented the heat with other flavours.
