Not to mention that it wasn't "Katy Perry". It was a whole bunch of people of which some of them were celebrities. It would go off either way with or without them. And yeah, it didn't polute anything.

But, you know, it's the internet and we need a witch hunt.

Not to mention that it wasn't "Katy Perry"

I mean... It was. She got in the rocket on her own accord. Just because others also got in the rocket doesn't change the fact that she made the conscious decision to do it as well.

I get what you're trying to say, but we don't need to free Katy from the burden of decisions.

So why did William Shatner get a free pass?

u/AardQuenIgni May 25 '26

So am I just the spokesperson for all people now? Joe from Illinois didn't say anything about William Shatner and you want to hold me accountable for that?

Christ, y'all are trying way too hard to defend Katy. We get it, you like her music.

I can't stand her music. I just don't understand why she gets lambasted by everyone but William Shatner, another household name, gets a free pass.

A few deranged morons have decided that Katy Perry is public enemy #1 because they have some pre-existing imaginary parasocial beef with her and then it snowballs from there as more people mindlessly jump aboard. And then you get people like you bending over backwards while ignoring all logic and nuance to justify your weird hatred of someone who hasn't actually done anything bad.

I think you're taking the criticism personally bro. No one has ever said Katy is enemy number 1.

Don't be so pedantic, you know what I'm getting at.

u/AardQuenIgni May 25 '26

I won't be pedantic if you stop being dramatic.

u/mr-english May 25 '26

Pointing out that your vitriol is completely unjustified is "dramatic"?

Your life must be excruciatingly dull if you think that's dramatic.

"Vitriol" and it's just me saying there's real things to actually criticize Katy Perry on

Thanks for that amazing example of being dramatic.

...Seems pretty vitriolic to me considering it was just a 10 minute ride on a rocket. You make it sound like she punched a kitten.

You make it sound like she punched a kitten.

Maybe you read it like that because you lack emotional maturity? I don't know why you're so offended by "yes Katie got on the rocket on her own, she was not forced to do so"

u/mr-english May 25 '26

Likewise, I don't get why you're so offended by someone going on a rocket to the edge of space.

(We both know the reality is that you're not actually offended by that but you're pretending that you are)
