Americans in particular were pissed because it was discovered by an American astronomer. The guy who pushed the vote to degrade it, which didn't even have everyone in the IAU in the room at the time to vote, is Neil deGrasse Tyson and he's a major globohomo. He blocked me on social media when he talked about "science-deniers" being against mask mandates and I pointed out that he did a whole episode of Cosmos that involved scientists who were paid off to lie to the public.
