It’s not even a demotion, it’s just reclassification. There’s no hierarchy of importance of solar system objects. People against a more accurate understanding of reality are dumb.
They took away Pluto’s superior status! We’re supposed to just sit back and let Pluto be relegated to the realms of the peasantry of satellites? I will fight to my dying breath to protect Pluto’s honor!
I’ll forget Pluto together with the 200+ other dwarf planets in our solar system, thank you very much.
Just need a bigger mnemonic
You’re a monster.
I understand the rationale for demoting Pluto, and I don’t disagree at all

What’s more fun, demoting pluto or announcing the discovery of a new planet every week for a couple years?
What if we demoted pluto every few weeks as a compromise
I’ve always said those third graders have it too easy having to learn just 8 planets. Time to really put them in their place!
