My wife is so offended by Lobster font that I’ve heard her exclaim “Fucking LOBSTER?!?” from half a kitschy restaurant away.
I text her photos when I see it in the wild. I’m about to send her this meme. And then I’m going to send her a screenshot of this comment, and she’s going to be both very annoyed and want to kiss me.
I've found that the reaction to the word "moist" is highly dependent on the context. For example, a cupcake described as moist sparks a feeling of deliciousness, while some potting soil described as moist gives me a sense of completeness or stability (plants typically need moist soil to grow, so it's a good thing). However, a bus seat described as moist triggers a feeling of revulsion.
Sorta, it's also a mental image thing and a visceral reaction. Like fear of clowns or trypophobia, there are valid reasons for the visceral reaction (being moist in certain situations can be quit4 uncomfortable and in some rare situations causes at least minor irritation or injury), but usually don't apply for most circumstances. Clowns aren't dead people, and most bunch of tiny holes aren't insects or disease... well, maybe a lot of them are insects.
Visceral reactions are uncontrollable, so while it may be propped up a lot as a joke on the internet, I think it's a bit condescending to assume something that doesn't bother you doesn't actually bother some people for real.
