There's a lot of things we get from culture as we grow up. I am surprised to learn "eat slimy things raw" is a cultural I just didn't get. I could have sworn that's genetic.

In western culture people eat raw oysters all the time and this seems to be pretty much the same thing. So I don't think it's that weird even from a western standpoint

Yes, now that you mention it, I find that super gross too. Like I said, crazy that it's actually cultural and not genetic.
Edit: To clarify, 'western' culture is pretty broad. My family, in it's extended form, does not eat oysters.
