Emma Watson piti lyhyen puheen viikonloppuna pidetyssä BAFTA-gaalassa, jossa hän kertoi olevansa paikalla ”kaikkien noitien puolesta.” Tämä oli ilmeisesti kannanotto JK Rowlingin väitetystä transfobiasta.
Watson on ennenkin kritisoinut julkisesti kirjailijan sanomisia.
Koomikko-näyttelijä Rebel Wilson esitteli katsojille seuraavin sanoin: ”Hän kutsuu itseään feministiksi, mutta me kaikki tiedämme hänen olevan noita”.
Rowlingin fanit syyttävät nyt Watsonia vihanlietsonnasta. Heidän mukaansa näyttelijätär käytti arvokasta gaalaa hyväkseen.
31-vuotias Watson näytteli Harry Potter -elokuvissa Hermionea.
Alla Watsonin puheen kirvoittamia Twitter-kommentteja.
Without JK Emma would be nowhere and a nobody!!!!

Does this woman ever stop virtue signalling and slagging off the genius who made her?! BAFTA 2022 Film Awards: Emma Watson appears to shade JK Rowling

BAFTA 2022 Film Awards: Emma Watson appears to shade JK Rowling https://t.co/uVFLrHHTfz what an utter snowflake & 💩 @EmmaWatson is – without JK she’d still be a nobody. She can’t accept JK‘s opinion? Fine. But stop the bad mouthing, it’s ridiculous

Ahh. How quickly some people forget where they came from and how they got there. @jk_rowling has infinitely more courage than any of you could even hope to have. #ProudSlytherin #IStandWithJKRowling 🐍⚡https://t.co/GQUsFERk1c

#ThankYou @EmmaWatson for your solidarity at @bafta film awards, against the TERFist demon @jk_rowling! You make me proud to be a fellow advocate to the communities JK marginalises and oppresses. Thanks to comrades like you, the wizarding world remains inclusive! #transmatters

Let me just quickly say, yes, Emma Watson roasted Rowling at the BAFTA'S, but pay her enough money and she will play Hermione again. That's just how the industry works.
Nothing against Emma Watson, just some critique on the acting business in general.
