did she call herself an astronaut or something?

edit: apparently not, people don't like Katy Perry/women and are making things up to get angry about.

Gail King did

Gail King is the embodiment of everything I hate about liberals.

Laundering rhetoric works as well as laundering money for these people. Hand some spokesmodel a stack of queue cards that consist of a series of vile slurs, and the audience will just nod and say "I guess this is what normal people really think."

Maybe it's that. But I say fuck all space tourists because of the environmental impact and the zero gain for humanity. It's up there with owning a million yachts.

Misogyny is insane.

I don't recall Perry claiming she was an astronaut.

This stunt, however, is a colossal tone-deaf, obscenely expensive, wasteful PR stunt while millions of people are terrified about their economic futures. That money could have gone to much better use.

[–] SpitefulSprite@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

The person who interviewed her after getting back to earth said she was an astronaut now.. teo very tone deaf dumb morons who played banter back and forth.. Katy didnt correct the woman and was enjoying being akin to an astronaut title and thats why she is being dragged... And she deserves it.

To be fair, she never claimed to be an astronaut.

Also, the Jeff-Dildo isn't capable of reaching the karman line, so she wasn't in space either.

[–] Harriet_Porber@lemmy.world 32 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What makes you say that?

I'm in no way here to defend blue orgin, but the capsule does apogee "just above 100km". It's pretty clear getting above the karman line was their main goal.

If we're gonna throw shade we gotta be accurate. Lets make fun of them for being suborbital and for making the most phallic launch vehicle ever.

[–] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In that case they seem to have actually upped their game because for a pretty long time they weren't able to.

But yes, I'm all in favor of throwing shade, so we can if course make fun of the phallic shape. And in my book, astronauts have been in orbit.

She acted how a crash test dummy would if there were no crash.

Edit "like" to "how".

Shame DOGE did not calculate the fuel load.

wow, the rare double-cringe!

it wasn't bad enough that she went to "space" - we also get to see edgy tate memes, too!

viva 2025!

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Isn't that rather self deprecating humor than misogynistic? The joke is essentially "if going to space for three minutes makes you an astronaut then getting it on with a woman for a solid three minutes makes me an expert on their anatomy".

Like, three minutes in one go? Not spread out over your lifetime?
