  • Jokes aside, why do people see “dwarf planet” as a demotion? It’s simply is different type of planet. It’s literally still called a planet, a dwarf one.

    It’s not a demotion, it’s a description. People don’t say a small intestine is not an intestine anymore or is somehow lesser than the large intestine.

    Is it because people think being a dwarf is bad? Is it some religious thing where evangelicals are trying to throw shade at science for “changing its mind”? If a dwarf planet isn’t a real planet, as a dwarf human not a real person?
