Why are we so repulsed by seeing people eat with their mouths open?

Why do they make bad guys in series/movies eat like pigs? Does it really have such a powerful effect? I’m watching Happy at the moment and it seems to be recurrent way to make the audience hate the antagonists even more. It’s definitely working on me!

If you ever go to China, or any Asian country from what I hear, but I can only speak to China, you’ll quickly realize that the taboo against eating with your mouth open or making sounds while eating is nothing more than a social/cultural norm.

Even on a flight, during meal time, with a majority Asian population, is enough to drive me insane.

Luckily China is awesome in so many other ways.
