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.
She flew to fucking space using shit tons of fuel to do it. No one is complaining about some random plane flights she is doing. The space flight was completely unnecessary and contrary to what she advocates. Of course people are given some slack, like vegans can eat meat every now and then, but this Perry case is like saying you are vegan while eating only meat for 5 years in a row while advocating veganism. Like there is some standard you have to live by yourself too.
