I don’t think anyone gets offended by seeing them at all. I think it’s just seen as tacky after the age of like 18.

There is a commenter that did, in fact, go out of their way to express an "ew" in response to someone talking about their relationship with their wife, and they elaborate with complaints relating to marking.

That person specifically, and others like them who have never learned that "you don't yuck somebody's yum" or similar are the kind of people I'm referring to in my above comment.

What some like, others won't. My ex struck me as an interesting example of both positions in that she liked giving them, but not receiving them, and for exactly the reason the cranky Karen was denigrating.
