Gagh, likely the most famous klingon dish and which is famous for being eaten alive, is also canonically served as a stew. Lots of other klingon dishes we know about are also fully cooked - boiled K’rada, stewed Racht, blood pie, etc. Your characterization of klingons also arguably differs from the canon - it’s presented as an act of extreme disrespect for another klingon to alter the food Alexander is eating. It follows that, much as humans do, Klingons have personal culinary preferences - and that it’s considered rude to mock someone for them.
You’re trying to make this into some grand slight against you, when again the worst slight towards your character has been to call your behavior “lame” and your direct personal attacks “extreme”. I understand you don’t like being called out, sure, but you might want to step back and reflect on your behavior a little.
Do you understand that that’s worse? I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt by suggesting mabye you just didn’t get the joke and thought it was a generic poke at people that like well-done.
But you did get it, and yet you still had to make it all about you to give yourself an opportunity to whine about something.
They next time a group of friends or coworkers makes plans and they don’t include you, and you’re sitting around lonely wondering why, this is why.
Ah, so now that I’ve demonstrated my nerd cred is vastly larger than your own and your defense of “it was a joke in canon” doesn’t work, we’re dropping that angle of conversation and shifting directly back into personal attacks with a sprinkling of unwarranted superiority. I like how you went back and edited in that last sentence, presumably because you didn’t feel your comment was insulting enough? Which really should give you pause here. Why do something like that? I hope this behavior is just the product of a truly foul day or even intoxication, and that in the future you’re mature enough to revisit this with a less toxic attitude.
You most certainly have not, else you would be aware of all the instances in the shows and movies a Klingon had made fun of someone for eating, or appears disgusted by, non-living Gagh. They may respect others choices, but they’ll still rib them a bit over it.
I dropped that angle because you demonstrated that you did get the joke and you just woke up today and choose to be insufferable. A choice that I would bet you make more often than not.
Yes, all those instances where food preferences were shown to be highly individual, and calling them out is shown to be rude. The exact point I made earlier in fact, that not respecting others choices is rude. I’m glad to see you agree with me, but I’m… confused as to why you’re continuing to insult me while doing so. It’s rather muddying your point here.
You do remember how you just agreed with my point, yes? If this is just going to devolve into you attempting to save face by starting a flame war, I’m not particularly interested.
Ooo, throwing the nerd gauntlet?

I love this for you. It’s a beautiful response.

I have not agreed with you at all. I’m starting to wonder if this is all due to you having a problem with reading comprehension.
You did, though. And ah, I was wondering when you’d start being ableist.
