It’s ginned up controversy for fake Internet points.
It definitly got exacerbated on the internet, but I’ve genuinly met some Italians that are super elitist about pizza and literally think of this as crime against their culture.
I don’t doubt that, but if we count all ethnic Italians worldwide, that’s about 140 million (source: Italians page on Wikipedia), out of 7.9 billion humans in the world. If my math is correct, that means Italians account for 1.78% of the world. Vocal minority.
