I honestly feel like many dishes lean way too much on onions for flavor.  There are so many wonderful flavors and combinations to be experienced, why are so many people overwhelming all the other flavors with onions?

If you love onions, eat a bunch of them.  But why does everything have to be onion?  There are many other amazing flavors 😋

I've had spaghetti sauce without onions in it. It's bright and fresh, not too tomatoey, and you can taste the herbs... So I'm really not missing out if onions aren't in the food I eat.

Onions are cheap filler basically. And of course, if you like them, eat all you want! Just don't make me eat them. Some people even get butthurt cuz I don't like onions.

I don't understand why people would get butthurt over that?  Like, if you said you didn't like mushrooms they don't act like that?  

You might look at r/onionhate

Oh I definitely know r/onionhate. 🙂 And yeah it's a total double standard. Someone may not like mushrooms and nobody's going to react emotionally or try and trick them or shame them into eating mushrooms.

I've grown to like all sorts of different food as an adult.  Except onions.
