Pop Superstar Katy Perry joined the new shepard Blue Origin missile for a 11-minute suborbital flight last week-and immediately became a popular scoring bag on the Internet. The mission, which was promoted as a “step forward for women in space,” instead caused a heated resistance over climate hypocritical, performative feminism and a celebrity lenient in the name of authorization.
While the flight was framed as inspiring, many did not buy it.
One X wrote: “When my daughter was 13, she suggested, built, released + loaded satellite near the cube … So forgive me if I ever impressed the 11 -minute space path of Katy Perry.”
Another killed the story of women’s progress and pointed to the irony: “Crazy, as Katy Perry and Lauren Sanchez go to” space “for 10 minutes, should” inspire women “but women who have already worked in NASA
Environmentalists also joined. “Actually crazy that Katy Perry went into space that has the same carbon footprint as someone’s life in 11 minutes and returned and said,” We have to take care of the mother of nature “, as yes, the first step is not to take a return journey into space ???” One user has published.
Meanwhile, thousands of meme internet did not waste time. Still from the former Boyband One Direction’s Drag Me Down Music Video spread with the title: “Katy Perry was the first pop singer to go into space” forgot about these wonders “and referred to a music video on the theme of space theme.
Another was published by the picture of the “The Boys” Homelander, who looked gloomyly, the headline: “2 astronauts who were stuck in space for 9 months and watched Katy Perry kissed the country after 10 minutes in space.”
What was supposed to be a strong symbol of inspiration has become a symbol of tone deaf elitism for many. As critics continue to evoke a joyrid-ulík and sending its surface messages, Perry’s silence only amplified noise.
In a world where real scientists are released, climate warnings are more urgent than ever and space is still largely inaccessible, Perry’s trip can say less about strengthening positions – and more about how to send touches to strengthen touching from 100,000 feet above reality.
