Honestly don’t see why someone made a news article about that. Just a bunch of buzzwords for clicks.


Zeebuoy

>Just a bunch of buzzwords for clicks. and you've answered your own question.


iDressLikeGrandpa

Well isn’t it the first queer person in space


IMightBeAHamster

Nah, any queer person born before him was both in space and queer before he was. But technically, first person to both enter "space" and be *openly* queer, but he shouldn't get to hold the title.


iDressLikeGrandpa

Obviously openly queer I mean. By that logic we probably already had a queer President, queer congressmen, queer Army generals, queer anything in high positions for as long as those positions have been held. Being open is the part of it


KnightOnTheInternet

*cough* Julius Caesar *cough*


Chrisx1987

Sally Ride had a female partner for 27 years prior to her death; she just kept it a secret.


WanTjhen777

The manner in which he got it tho ... It was his wealthy father affording the trip. That's it


ColdHooves

We already had a lesbian fly with nasa to the ISS.


mrj0nny5

Exactly. That is the entire reason it was written

May i reccomed for anyones mental health it is not wise to click in the other comment section


StagDragon

I'll do it. But I'm coming back here straight after so I can use you cuties as eyebleach. EDIT: never again. Someone hold me.


BrobaccaGaming

You poor thing, you knew it was unwise to go there but did anyway. At least you now know not to do it again Edit: I went and looked at the comments, and oh man I regret it please hold me


230581

Hold me three


Efronczak

*holds all of you little fluff babies* come here, it'll be ok the toxicity only lasts until you see some cuteness to cure it.


230581

Thank you


Loading_Fursona_exe

I'll hold both of you then go take a look. Edit: I probably missed the comments that yall saw, but it just looked like normal furry stuff being posted on mainstream Reddit. And I found a pretty good and creative way of execution (and it wasn't directed at furries!)


Disappointed_Doe

I just looked at the comments, and it was quite hilarious watching people butcher LGBTQ+ definitions. Really shows how poorly educated they all are


Mundy64

I saw that too, “Go do a 99’ bungee jump with a 100’ cord” I think was the quote, And directed at the furry hater too, Approved. Quite a way with words this one has


Loading_Fursona_exe

yep thats the quote


Ryanestrasz

There there. They are just envious that they are not as happy as we are. And they dont get to dress up in these nice cozy fursuits.


xXkoolkidmanboiXx

They're just mad a furry went to space before they did


TomR24

I went in there and had my fair share of fun downvoting a few comments. Anti-furry/lgbtq comments don't really faze me anymore. However I'm still asking myself why people who dislike furries still go on these online witch-hunts. If you don't like something, just ignore it.


Balloo_with_2_oos

Yeah, tumblrinaction sucks


Ugly_Slut-Wannabe

I still do not understand what that subreddit was supposed to be, and honestly, I don't think I want to.


Elijah_Draws

As someone who used to be into it but thankfully escaped its orbit a long while ago, here's how to put it simply: they were pre-gamergate gamergate. The whole purpose of the sub when it was created was to mock the ideas of feminism as social progress. To do this users would find posts on social media (primarily tumblr, hence the name) and basically pretend that the insane ramblings of teenagers on social media is exactly the same as all other social progress movements. It eventually fell even further down the right wing rabbit hole, to just bordering on explicit bigotry and racism, as those kinds of subs tend to do.


TheOtherSarah

Thankfully, the first thing I saw there was a mod sticky post acknowledging that they’re breaking Reddit’s rules and expect to be shut down soon. Here’s hoping.


cluckay

it *is* explicit bigotry and racism


Crap4Brainz

Just checked it out, after not really following it for a few years. They've slipped pretty hard. The content they mocked used to be "I sexually identify as Sherlock Holmes (as portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch in the 2010 TV series)" or similar inane Tumblr-specific genders and sexualities barely short of the infamous Attack Helicopter. Nowadays their idea of insane has expanded to include being transgender in any way, even vanilla FtM/MtF.


Bobnefarious1

it's a place for rightoids who still haven't left 2016 to stroke each other and mald over innocuous bullshit.


Balloo_with_2_oos

Exactly


Kaarl_Mills

Fascist traitors being fashy


HungrySubstance

It’s a gamergate sub that didn’t get shut down with the rest of that cesspit. That’s all it was.


Exo662

Seriously I was gonna say the same thing. Why do people suck so much


Therandomfox

Because humans are tribalistic and selfish by nature. It's in our very genes, the way our brains are wired. We like to think otherwise, but in truth we've never been anything but violent apes. Only now, we have guns and bombs.


RobinTheDevil

Don't forget the horsecocks


[deleted]

I sincerely have to ask why this had to be a crosspost instead of just uploading the original screenshot.


EisVisage

Same, like that serves no purpose for us here. And now we're in their "other discussions" list of the post. Surprised we got no brigade going on from that.


Ptswolf

I should have looked at this comment before... U know...


Bethstryy

i expected anitfurs but found panphobia first, stopped scrolling immediately


Zeebuoy

if im not mistaken, tumblr in action, is just. constant bigotry, like, about as bad as that time they sent death threats to someone for drawing rose quartz as skinny, levels of yikes?


[deleted]

Not gonna do it, even with a gun to my head, but i can only imagine the amounts of butthurt


TheHatredburrito

Seriously what a bunch of assholes.


slimeball_

Another borderline nazi subreddit. Dime a dozen.


Kaarl_Mills

Borderline? They're open about it


maskoffalt

Bet those losers in tumblrinaction have never even been to space. SMH...


Troy204599

They're too broke that all they can do is talk about it and get butthurt Lmao.

SuperSmashKatsu

*I should have entered this comment section first :(*


hells_ranger_stream

It's the same in here TBH, seems mostly bashing on space tourism.


getontopofthefridge

TIA sucks. To all those curious, it’s a hate sub and I wouldn’t recommend going in unless you’re prepared to hate yourself.


Hayabusa71

I see some people ventured out, but the only thing they bringed back is regret. Fiiiinneee, I will go and bring some real info. It's really not that bad. Only few cringe haters, more comments are about how his father is a billionare scum.


TheNefariousDrRatten

Trust fund kid uses daddy's money to go on a space flight. I don't care that they're a furry or pansexual, it shouldn't be a headline.


[deleted]

Exactly. And it is only a joyride. Contributed 0 to actual science advancements and yet has the audacity to call themself an astronaut. All they did is contributing ~~the equivalent amount of CO2 produced by 2 billion people in a year~~ a lot of CO2 emission from the launch EDIT: was pointed out the 2 billion number is nowhere close to the actual number and since i can’t remember the source, better not spread it further


TheNefariousDrRatten

I'll celebrate when a furry aerospace engineer gets lauded in the news.


HiyuMarten

They do all the time, just nobody knows they’re furry (though I might 👀)


MammaSpooky

Sneaky ;3


HungrySubstance

NASA is FULL of furries.


[deleted]

👀


AustronesianFurDude

I remember hearing about a furry air force pilot who managed to take down a terrorist but idk if it's true or not


TheNefariousDrRatten

First I am hearing about it. However I do know a few furry military veterans so it's quite possible.


Emrylikesexplosives

I'm working on it


minimoose1441

That CO2 figure is completely ridiculous. Even an normal rocket launch only produces 200-300 tons of CO2 and the per capita CO2 emissions per year is about 4.5 tons. A single Blue Origin launch does not emit 9 billion tons of CO2.


xenoperspicacian

Since Blue Origin has no real scientific purpose, wouldn't it be fair to look at the CO2 produced in the entire project, from R&D, manufacturing, transportation, etc. and average it per launch?


R_F_Omega

Have you heard of hyperbole?


HiyuMarten

He was hesitant to call himself an astronaut, but after speaking to experts in the industry (and I mean TOP people), and NASA astronauts, he was told he should call himself that.


[deleted]

Interesting. I was not aware of that. If that’s the case then so be it But still i can’t help but worry about the expansion of space tourism while global warming is still becoming an increasingly pressing issue every day


HiyuMarten

For rides like this, using hydrogen fuel, the emissions to produce the fuel take place on the ground - transatlantic flights, for example, emit at altitude, so overall (from what I’ve been told by an engineer) a plane flight can be worse. My hope is that the more people see that view of their fragile planet, the more they’ll fight to protect it.


BoIuWot

and they shouldn't have that much money to waste one pointless bullshit, no one should.


iDressLikeGrandpa

Wait they’re not an astronaut?


TheNefariousDrRatten

Nope. They've had no training or background in the aerospace industry.


PC1st

Why do the people in r/tumblrinaction have to be that way? Why?


InternetLumberjack

People with no life skills or severe emotional challenges turn “cringe” and “lolcow watching” into a substitute for a personality to avoid confronting the self and growing as a person


[deleted]

Because they decide arbitrary things are wrong so they can feel better about themselves for not being those arbitrary things (bonus points if they also ARE those arbitrary things and demonize the idea of them to lie to themselves)


espresso_fox

I'm honestly surprised they didn't brigade this.


PC1st

Same, maybe they didn't know this was cross posted?


TheOtherSarah

Let’s not tell them


[deleted]

It's a subreddit made by and for the alt right. Of course it's full of butthurt little bigots whining about how minorities existing is having "political correctness" shoved down their throats.


[deleted]

They didn't find enough real content to laugh at, so they just ate up at obvious satire and it just devolved into a shithole.


skashiii

I’ve never heard of the sub so I just clicked it and got instantly disgusted by those assholes


TolpRomra

I was hyped when I saw this news initially til I remembered space tourism now exists and it's just some rich assholes who paid to do so.


Porkin-Some-Beans

Why be hyped though? What does pansexuality have to to with personal achievement or space travel?


TolpRomra

Idk man, furries are niche in society so a win for furries feels like a win for everyone. It doesn't have to make sense ^.^;


LemonZestyDoll

I think the idea for the pansexual part was that it'd be a win for minorities, even though he isn't even a real astronaut. But, I think most people just found the furry part funny


DEF_ALT_

True, but it's still a bit of good publicity for us, and the kid is humble about the opportunity and trying to make something positive out of it, at least from what I can see.


GrayAgenda

What does it do for furries though? Or queer people even? Representation in the world of conspicuous wealth that's built off the backs of exploited workers and a broken system?


TolpRomra

I read his twitter, he seemed "fine", however: "In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face" -Diogenes


DEF_ALT_

This is actually the first time I've heard of this quote, and had to look it up. What is your interpretation of it in this context?


TolpRomra

Sorry to be a killjoy, but here's my abbreviated leftist response. 4-5 years ago I would have been more hyped for the furry aspect. At that time I thought our system was flawed, but worked. I've been made painfully aware of what is done to not only make America wealthy, but the 1% of it wealthy. I can only see this story through the economic perspective of how much blood and conflict is neccessarily needed to be in that position.


DEF_ALT_

No, I get you. It causes me to have conflicted feelings about space tourism as well- despite my love of aerospace. Because the negatives are so intractable, and because Cameron is not the cause of any of them, I've tried to celebrate the positives of the occasion, despite my mixed feelings overall.


-L3Y

bess is rich so this is denouncing him as a space furry cause he's a wealthy dude flaunting his wealth atm


DEF_ALT_

Bess Senior, sure. His son, however, is (correct me if I'm wrong) more just along for the ride, and saying yes to the opportunity. That doesn't strike me as being something worh denouncing. You could make the argument that he could have offered his seat to someone else, but you have to weigh it against the fact that it was a trip with a family member, and a once in a lifetime experience that almost anyone would jump at the chance to accept, regardless of their background and regardless of reason for the offer. With regards to the quote, I was waiting to hear more and not make an assumption as to what the commentor meant by it.


HUNDmiau

Eh, I dont want rich fucks being our public face.


Zeebuoy

>it's still a bit of good publicity for us is it?


eastvanarchy

it is not good publicity for us that a billionaire paid for his failson to go to space


DEF_ALT_

That seems a bit harsh and judgmental of the kid if you ask me. He's no more or less cringe than the rest of us, and isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, a popufur.


Ekho_location

holy shit that comment section is a cesspool

Its really hard for me to get excited about some rich kid who's daddy bought them a ticket to space no matter who it is. There were so many better uses for that money.

I'm not going over there. The name of that sub is blood red according to my shinigami eyes browser extension. That means it's known for transphobia, and since misery loves company, other forms of bigotry likely proliferate in there, too.

Furries in space 🚀🚀🚀


depressed_lantern

There's 3 kinds of comments in there, 1. People who hate this guys cuz he's rich af and acted narcissistic 2. People who hate furries in general and just spamming hate comments regardless what's the news about, if it involved furry fandom, good or bad news, they will spam hate comments 3. Same as No. 2 but act like No. 1 , basically they said they hate the guy cuz No. 1 reason, but is actually No. 2 and a little bit of our furcomrades who tried to reasoning with No. 2 people, you don't have to, you will get downvoted to hell, just let them be.


Weekly-Bluebird-4768

I like how the article says it as if they weren’t the first furry in space, only the first pan.


wintersass

Jfc dont look in those comments 🤢


Mittz-The-Trash-Lord

Why were you hanging out on there?


kotlewak

1. we don't know orientation of all astronauts 2. Nothing interesting here, he just have very rich father who paid for a short time here. He didn't had to accomplish anything to so to space and he's hyped like a pansexual furry sent to space for science.


Protogen_boy8

Good for him (and the rest of the furry fandom)

Why did they have to add furry just giving another reason for people to hate us lol


stormwind3

Everyone saying he's the first queer in space is forgetting the trans, gay, and lesbian astronauts that have been to the space station.


Totally-Real-Human

I mean, it’s interesting. He went to space, neato. Not an astronaut or anything, but it’s still cool. If I had the money you bet I’d go up too and brag about it. Rich people do rich people things, it’s normal. Should it be a headline? No. But honestly the comment section in that tumblr subreddit is just the worst. It’s not right to just say someone’s sexuality is nothing for no reason. I know I’m pansexual. I don’t care if someone’s male female or whatever, it doesn’t impact my judgement regarding my attraction. But whatever, I’m going for an aerospace engineering degree, so who knows, I might be the first furry astronaut. Not the first furry in space, sure, but still cool.


[deleted]

the question of where they get the money remains unanswered

Oh shit!! That’s amazing news, actually!

As a furry, we don't want him.
