The real problem with people fussing over Pluto all the time is it represents the priorities of the public - preserving traditions rather than accepting facts. The pursuit of science is about building a sustainable catalog of truths, and there is no advantage in altering truths to appease nostalgia.

why the fuck are people so adamant about pluto being a planet
why are people genuinely—genuinely—angry and upset at its current status as a dwarf
why
was pluto your childhood friend
was pluto your first love
did you at some point shove pluto up your ass
sex is a social construct and the apparent objectivity of the science of reproduction is a mask for the political desires of the existing power structure. on the other hand, pluto is objectively, irrefutably not a planet, because of science
if you think pluto is a fucking planet go get in a spaceship and fly to fucking pluto and live on it. just sit your ass down on the cold ground of the thing that isnt a planet
