The bullying part is def. exaggerated to the point of extreme falsehood, but I’ve met more than a handful of people who placed wayyyy too much of their identity into increasing their heat tolerance. The worst ones are seriously this autistic and unaware of their cringiness, they would bully harder if they had the numbers and social skill to do so.
It’s a different thing to geek out about hot sauces and have the flavor be the main reason, with the heat as a price to pay, but these mfs couldn’t care less. They would lick the hottest toilet seat in the world if they thought it gave them bragging rights
There isn’t necessarily a problem with eating hot things because they are hot, as long as you aren’t just doing it for bragging rights. If you enjoy something for any reason and aren’t a dick about it, I see no problem.

Are you saying I could brag about it?

Some of these people are huge pricks.
