Jokes aside, why do people see "dwarf planet" as a demotion? It's simply is different type of planet. It's literally still called a planet, a dwarf one.

It's also not like it's the first time. The dwarf planet Ceres was once considered a planet until it was reclassified in light of so many other objects sharing its orbit.
