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!

Its a matter of opinion/societal values. Not everyone instantly thinks its repulsive. The only reason I eat with my mouth shut is bevause I dont want to lose any food by having my mouth hanging open while chewing. There is at least one culture in the world that takes slurping and noises while eating as a compliment.
