It's simply disgusting, it's not political, it's gag inducing.
Also other than the inherent disgust to bug there is also the fact that since bugs are so small animals they can't be cleaned and separeted to different parts of the animal. This means that part of what you eat is the intestines of the animal with all the fecal matter in it.
I simply don't want shit (or processed shit) in my food. Is that too big of an ask?
Like a lot of seafood then.
Most fish, shrimp, lobster are prepared so that you aren't eating the intestines. The closest seafood-with-intact-intestines I can think of off the top of my head that makes it to the table is crawfish, and de-veining them is a part of the eating process
Honestly I think every time I’ve had shrimp, the vast majority have still had the vein.
King prawns are a bit different - at least they’re large enough for deveining to be practical.
