Poor Katy. The roasting is endless even though it's the piece of shit Bezos who actually deserves it.

Bezos deserves most of it, but I think there's more than just misogyny that has lead to this particular flight's passengers receiving a lot more criticism than Shatner did. And it's that Shatner was visibly moved by his experience and you could tell that he didn't feel good about Bezos interrupting his attempts to share that, so Bezos could use him as a pawn.
The ladies on this flight seem to have been chosen and instructed specifically to give the most vapid shallow responses possible. And upon returning, that's precisely what they delivered.
I think Perry is just vapid and shallow.
Bezos deserves it for ripping billions of dollars out of the public space program so that he can indulge in a fantasy of privatized space flight.
Katy deserves a bit of flak for playing along to boost her fading brand.
They both suck.
But she's trying to make women in space glam again! 😂
DOGE Staffer here. This is DEI and you have to delete it.
I don’t really follow celebrity news, but I think the last time I heard about her she was praising Musk and her cybertruck. It seems she has been open about whose side she is on for a while now.

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
Edit: Gayle*
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Noted. Thanks.

Why is everyone saying "she did not call herself an astronaut" when the meme never states that?
In interviews she was called an astronaut and that is the point this meme is making. One of the other women (Gale something) does call herself an astronaut, so theres that.
This meme is about the out of touch media coverage around the event, not what Katy did not even say.
With that said, I understand the emotional reactions given what is happening in America. Women that worked in NASA are being erased from history at the same time this stunt happens, its infuriating.
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!
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".
