The flip side is that you're basically saying the people who actually like spicy food and can't stand bland food should suck it up and deal with it in 100% of cases, which is as unfair to the spicy-food enthusiasts as having no options for non-spicy food at all in the entire game would be to people who prefer bland food. >_>

(Which: I see your point, but there's also a point on the other side that's not -just- 'hurr nyurr we're xxxhardxxxcorexxx we're so much better than everyone else hurr', and it being consistently mischaracterised is a little bit offputting.)

Edit: In any event, I'm curious as to a response to the /actual question/ of the thread here, too.
