AITJ for bringing authentic fermented shark to the office international potluck and refusing to remove it when colleagues complained about the smell?

¿Soy el malo por llevar tiburón fermentado auténtico al potluck internacional de la oficina y negarme a retirarlo cuando mis compañeros se quejaron del olor?

OP brought hákarl — Icelandic fermented shark — to an office international potluck, and when colleagues started gagging and demanding he remove it, he doubled down on cultural representation. Now half the office isn't speaking to him.

Contexto: tengo 31 años, trabajo en una consultora tecnológica en Barcelona y viví cuatro años en Reikiavik. Islandia me cambió la vida. Aprendí el idioma, hice amigos de verdad, me enamoré de la cultura.
