Sorry Baby Yoda, but Greta Thunberg was named TIME's Person of the Year this morning, and Twitter had quite a lot to say about it. At just 16-years-old, Thunberg becomes the youngest person ever awarded this recognition, and while many applauded the magazine for choosing the environmental activist, some couldn't help but wonder why more prominent people weren't chosen instead. What appears to add fuel to that fire is that following the announcement, TIME released the results of their 2019 Person of the Year reader poll where Thunberg placed fifth.

Despite 30% of the 27 million voters sending the Hong Kong protestors to first place, it was TIME's editors who ultimately determined who the Person of the Year was. It also feels important to mention that Keanu Reeves placed third with 4.5% of the vote.

 


 

Soon, the praise for TIME's selection came in quickly.

 

 
Some even reflected on how the 16-year-old inspired them.

 

 

 

Several were happy to step in to defend the 16-year-old.

 
And had fun photoshopping her victory.

 

Confused users who were clearly expecting someone else, began to tweet out their thoughts.

 
It appeared that the Hong Kong protestors were the assumed favorite for this recognition.

 

 

 
Several even jumped in to photoshop their own TIME magazine covers.

 

 

 
But mostly confusion remained with TIME's choice.

 

And of course downright disdain resulted as well.

 

 
Some users wondered why anyone really cared that much anyway.

 

Regardless, learning this fact alone today, was enough to set the week right.
