I really doubt more than .001% actually care if it's called a planet or not, it's just a meme to pretend that you care. Like pineapple on pizza.

No one actually cares if you put pineapple on pizza. No one actually cares about Pluto being a planet. But there are many people who see themselves as some sort of white knight defenders of the truth against haters that don't actually even exist.

I care if you put pineapple on pizza. Please put it on yours. Please. That means less on mine. Not that i dislike it, i just lack the parts to digest it properly.

Pineapple digests you before you digest it!
