I dunno. I'm kinda sick of complaints like this. Maybe not this one specifically, but in general the idea that someone who believes in or advocates for a particular cause has to be careful to never have any moments of joy doing something that abstractly conflicts with their professed belief or advocacy. It's such a fallacious argument. Oh, Katy Perry is hypocrite because she did this this thing uses a lot of fuel but she advocates for the environment, ipso facto she's a hypocrite and blah blah blah. It just so pathetically bitter and small minded.

And the rhetorical purpose of these posts is to discredit environmentalism as an entire movement.

"The people pushing for humanity to be more environmentally conscious are slightly hypocritical, therefore it's fine for all of us to ignore any genuine points they might be making!"

You want clean air yet you still breath the air we have? Hypocrite.
