People are getting riled up at Emma Watson for using her celebrity platform to be a feminist, and also to oppose Rowling. It goes both ways.

Is that Emma Watson stuff aimed at me lady.

I don't object to Emma Watson being a feminist or any other of the causes she puts her name to. I object to her shallowness on the subjects. She plops herself on podiums parroting slogans and phrases getting herself a pat on the back from minority groups and other women for being a "strong advocate" but then when (like now) the cause calls for a more nuanced and detailed actual discussion on the issue, she can't. It's shallow and meaningless and shows her up for the banal ambassador she is. A face and nothing more.

I don't think JKR's words have stirred up any fear. The fear has come from the absolutely ridiculous twisting of her words.

Emma had a moment there where people were calling for her input due to the Harry Potter link and she chose it to post 2 tweets that said.... nothing at all. And by simply saying nothing other than basically "trans women are women" it's almost like she's justifying and enabling the gross twisting of JKR's own words and the backlash she has received. It's completely gross and certainly not feminist.
