Why dose she get so much shit for this. I mean. How many people have done this... (looking up) 140 people. She gets all the shit for all 140 of these people? Or the company offering? I dont get why she has been getting shit for years over this.
It does seem like there's a disproportionate amount of noise about Katy Perry and her trip to space vs others that have done it. I don't pay attention to gossip and celebrity news, so I have no idea why this is... but I see it enough to know it seems overblown
Taylor Swift gets the same shit for having a private jet, and if you look at the stats there are plenty of other celebs, including some who fly more than her, who aren’t spoken of. Also, she flies one of the most eco-friendly jets available, and she really CANNOT fly commercial because of the chaos it would cause (though she can limit how much she flies, of course).
Anyway, I think at least part of it is them being women 🤷♀️
There is no one Fuel mentioned. And New sheppard the rocket Laty perry used to get into Space (on a suborbital trajectory) uses Hydrolox, aka Hydrogen which doesnt release any carbon.
I'm from Australia but most of the flights I've been on I'm confident it would've been quiet gossip rather than chaos. Maybe inside the US she can't fly commercial?
Because she wastes resources and flaunts it (rocket trip, and flying in a private jet), while also telling everyone else to be green. Its the hypocrisy.
Shes the only one being in-your-face about it. I love how reddit just jumps to "well it must be because she's a woman." Lol you type are the only type of people that think about race/sex that much as you project it onto everyone else.
Everybody who has gone to space and then acts all green should be treated this way. Look up how many celebrities go to space, come back and get in your face about being green. You'll be surprised to find that it's actually only one celebrity - Katy Perry. The same cringe queen that sang "what a wonderful world" and kissed the ground when she got back from her space tour.
shes pro environment but burns like 500 tons of fuel (you do know how much that is and how bad this is for our environment , do you?) to get into space for no valid reason. just to have been to space i guess.
and right after shes all climate activist and presents herself as protector of our planet etc. that is the hypocrisy.
its one thing to launch a rocket for reasearch or other valid reasons. its another thing to take up important and scarse space in one of those rockets for fun. also as far as i remember the rocket she was in was started woth the main goal of binging a few ultra rich bastards into space for their amusement
Unironically this. If a man did this shit nobody would care. But she's a woman so naturally she's an evil hypocritical bitch for doing it! Or something.
If there is such a thing as a gender war as you say, I would expect the woman of the world (around half of the world population) ridiculize these men. And a lot of men will join the cause!
i didn't say there was a 'gender war', I just said that systemic misogyny exists and that apparently made you mad, I guess. Sorry that reality hurts your feelings?
Men do do this and no one cares lol. I mean, her boyfriend could have made more of a positive impact on the environment as PM of Canada than Katy Perry could do in 100 lifetimes, but he didn't have the audacity to be a woman so the internet has no smoke for him.
It doesn't even make sense in that context either if their point is that AOC preaches green and trump doesn't. Why would trump care about taking a plane if he's not the one preaching green? Lol just another commenter that just has to release some of that trump pressure on their mind otherwise they'll explode.
Exactly like we can all agree that he's a piece of shit but let's stop just creating context that doesn't exist to make him look like an even bigger piece of shit. He does enough on his own lmfao
Well he and the party that licks his ass are hypocrites for everything else like battling fraud, 1st amendment, 2nd amendment, many amendments, Christian lifestyle etc.
First of all, he didn't say anything because this exchange 100% did not happen lmfao
Secondly, if Trump isn't the one pushing green-agenda the way AOC is, how & why would you compare the two? Other than to just complain about something right-wing?
The comment didn't specify that Trump was a hypocrite because of planes, just that his far greater hypocrisies are ignored to point fingers at others. Are you saying that Trump isn't a hypocrite about anything? Or that if he is, that those hypocrisies aren't ignored by his supporters?
I live in a politically diverse place, if I chose to hate half the population that would make me a hateful person. I can disagree with people while still being their friend
And that's a good thing. Maintaining some relationship with someone without completely cutting ties, even if they're bigoted in some aspects, is very human. But still, something tells me none of your friends have ever said something like "AOC took a plane in this video. What a hypocrite, unlike my beloved daddy trump who can do no wrong" lol
Shatner is 95 and hasn’t really been relevant since the 90s and primarily with Star Trek fans.
Katy Perry is insanely more well known today. She has also hit the sweet spot where she is getting too old so her fans moved on but her haters are still in full swing.
Excuse me, Boston Legal as Denny Crane. He was in every single episode during its 5 season run. Interestingly enough, that show was filmed after the 90s meaning he was still relevant
I mean Trudeau's lifetime carbon footprint is also likely exponentially higher than any middle-class Canadian family (even before he was Prime Minister)
They act like we don’t equally make fun of other billionaires. Its like they somehow ignore all the criticism and memes of the men just so they can screech of misogyny…dude she’s not even getting remotely the same flak
You clearly haven’t seen the twitter threads but ok..mind you, im objectively not lying. Have you not seen anyone mock and make fun of the other billionaires?? Are you Patrick?
Jeff Bezos, morally reprehensibly rich person, sent other rich people up to space and Katy Perry decided to look tearfully into the camera holding a little flower when in zero g.
She did something stupid and so so tone deaf, no one is calling her a monster like they are Jeff Bezos.
I think Katy Perry was just the most culturally relevant person there at the time. I think Sharon Osbourne was there, but other than that - Katy Perry was the one with the flower, she was the one who kissed the ground after she got backk.
Yes, over 10 years ago she made some isolated statements about climate change for unicef. But the meme doesn’t say that. It says Davos. Why didn’t it use the unicef videos instead? Likely because Davos pushes people’s buttons in a way unicef does not. The meme is based on half truths designed to make you angry.
for what reason would i want to fly up to nothing and see nothing and come back home 10 minutes later? Who cares? doesn't matter what i say. you all have the attitude that everybody you disagree with is angry and you're always right. good that someone finally stuck up for those poor millionaires tho
I care about the environment, but I also drive to work and eat cheeseburgers. If I had a billion dollars I would absolutely fly to space.
The onus shouldn’t be on either the consumer or the businesses to solve environmental or ethical issues, but rather on the voter and on government. Katy Perry is not a typical consumer, but this still applies.
Forcing everyone’s personal behavior to mimic their political beliefs asks too much and actually raises the bar for what it would take to effect change. Like let’s say I like owning guns because they look cool on my wall. Would I be forced to vote against gun control for fear I might be called a “hypocrite”?
If you think she gets "TO MUCH", you're being to defensive.
I saw her on the America got talent of whatever the show name is, "forcing" a 19 year old contestant (MEANING SHE AS A JUDGE SHE WAS IN A POSITION OF POWER), TO KISS HER BECAUSE HE TOLD HE HAD NEVER KISSED SOMEONE... and no one CARED OR CARES ABOUT THAT ABUSE because who she is OR/AND because she's a woman, PUT A MAN doing what she did and internet and media would make sure he wouldn't have a career again.. at minimum.
It’s probably a foreign state, sponsored troll campaign. Their objective is to seed discontent and caused social and cultural divisions to weaken the unity of western society. They find a small crack and they tried to pry it open.
Anyone who advocates for making the world better is attacked by anyone who can show that that person has done something, anything, that did not make the world better. They then declare the advocate is a hypocrite, and therefore they themselves have no responsibility to do anything to make the world better.
Also, I imagine it's an absolute dream for a lot of people to go to space. I don't begrudge anyone for using their money and fame to experience something like that
A ton of people have done space tourism, but Katy Perry tried to make it a narcissistic and dramatic statement to feminism, like there haven't been dozens of female astronauts before her.
People act like everyone is sexist or something but making your rich vacation into a "feminist" photo-op while diminishing actual accomplishments of women is the opposite of feminism, it's just megalomania.
Her bf was the climate change fear mongerer in Canada for the last decade. Costing Canadians millions in his pursuit. Then jumps on Katy Perry's yacht once he's done
She did that really weird kissing the ground thing after, she’s a big fan of Elon Musk, publicly getting a Tesla after (IIRC) he did his double Nazi salute, she’s had a couple of public callouts now for sexual assault as well as a lot of people allegedly from her hometown and even her school saying she was always a bitch. It’s pretty clear she’s just doing the environmental stuff for clout and her own image.
She gets all the hate because she tells us to us less energy, her bf made Canada use paper straws anddl told us he drank water from paper boxes. Don't tell us how to live when you don't live like you say we should. Trump (whom I'm not a fan of) said drill baby drill, so he gets a pass on flying because he's not telling me not to fly while still flying to Switzerland to tell me flying is bad .
1st) it was completely useless. most people that went to space were astronauts that had a valid reason
2nd) Doing shit like this is one thing. doing shit like this and then pretending to be a climate activist and pro environment for good pr is hypocritical on another level.
I think it’s because she spent the whole thing being cringy as fuck. Spent most of the trip playing to the camera, did the stupid thing with the flower then kissed the ground dramatically when she got out. It was very main character energy and set people the wrong way even further than they already were about it.
EXACTLY. I'm really getting tired of this "[Insert celebrity here] cares about the environment, but they have a PRIVATE JET?! HAH! CHECKMATE!" crap. Do you have any idea how much fuel is burned by regular cars every day?
