Poor Plutoer

A person that has such bizarre sentimental attachment to a space rock, that is closer in relationship to a comet than it is the 8 true planets in our solar system, that they will fight tooth in nail with anyone who states that the reclassification was justified. They do so with fairly irrational arguments and by neglecting the facts involved.
Everytime someone posts a picture of the current solar system, these damn poor plutoers come out in tears and protest over a fucking space rock that has no impact in their lives what-so-ever. It ruins any conversation you try to have on a page.
