    W.r.t Pluto then you’re no better than those people denying science. The golf of Mexico’s renaming is due to ego and politics, Pluto’s classification is not

      it’s more so emotionally based because it’s personified and I feel bad for poor Pluto 😢, not actually thinking that Pluto should in all scientific circumstances be considered a planet.

      It’s a lot different to vaccine deniers who don’t trust meaningful science and evidence that actually effect the lives of people and can do real harm to the lives of others.
