hi everyone I hope you're all well so those of you who know who emma watson is which i'm guessing is
the vast majority of you will know her as either the child actress who played hermione granger
in the harry potter movie series from the age of about 11 or the somewhat unbearable
liberal feminist who after launching the he for she campaign at the u.n in 2014
busied herself with things like randomly hiding feminist maya angelou books around the new york
subway as a way of protesting the election of donald trump in 2016. today i'm going
to deliver maya angelou books to the new york subway then i'm going to fight even harder for
all the things i believe in and in june 2020 being egregiously disloyal to the woman who facilitated
literally everything that she has that is harry potter created jk rowling by throwing her to the
radically awful trans activist lobby after rowling had the audacity to assert that biological sex is
real and should be recognized trans people are who they say they are and deserve to live their
lives without being constantly questioned or told they aren't who they say they are
i want my trans followers to know that i and so many other people around the world see you
respect you and love you for who you are sweet sentiment or passive aggressive stab you be the
judge side note the really ironic thing about emma watson dunking on jk rowling in 2020 was
that four years prior they had this interaction in the form of a reply tweet from rowling to
emma's maya angelou book hiding announcement as i told you a couple of hours ago i love you
jk rowling i love you but let's be real you created a monster anyway that rank disloyalty
to the woman without whom she would not have the fame and fortune she currently possesses has put
emma in the spotlight again recently she presented an award at the baftas on the 13th of march which
was just a few days after jk rowling had criticized a uk labour mp for refusing to
answer the question of what is a woman on coincidentally international women's
day someone please send the shadow minister for equality as a dictionary and a backbone
so during emma's little presentation spiel she had this to say
i'm here for all of the witches
however it wasn't just that display of catty mean-spiritedness that had
the internet buzzing about ebba watson that evening but before i
tell you what else was going on a word from this video sponsored noble gold
if you watch regularly you'll know noble gold is one of my sponsors they now have thousands
of clients who found the secret of gold and silver for their retirement plans here and for the month
of march with any qualified ira above 20k you'll get a three ounce silver american virtue coin or
a 5 ounce america the beautiful silver coin for anything over 50k so you know what to do call
is 877-646-5347
so after the baftas a photo of emma watson started doing the rounds on twitter for reasons
that are not at all good this was highlighted by commentator the quartering who tweeted this has
to be photoshop right emma watson is like 31 this looks like one of those apps to age you up so is
the photo really that bad well to be honest yeah it's really not great so evidently emma is signing
an autograph and possibly reacting positively to something a fan has said hence the smile lines
on her forehead and around her mouth plus there is some really shocking overhead lighting going
on and a strangely high def camera lens that seems to be picking up literally everything
and of course you get a recipe for an upgrade photo although as far as bad photos go that one
isn't so bad i mean it's nowhere near as bad as the notorious beyonce bad photos of 2013.
anyway despite the people speculating on twitter over whether this less than great photo proves
feminism ages women or whether she's hit the proverbial wall etc the bottom line is that emma
watson is a naturally gorgeous woman i mean holy well i am not a fan but you would be hard-pressed
to find anyone more effortlessly beautiful or telegenic she is stunning so it might surprise you
to know that it's not actually the unflattering red carpet photo that i'm interested in
it's her whole red carpet look i mean in my opinion the fashion choices she has made
here are just awful the dress is like something you'd wear to prom and what is with this hair
it's like she deliberately didn't wash it for like three days and then decided to stick
some bobby pins in the front to stop the fire waves because she couldn't be bothered to do
it properly before she left the house also side note if i myself i'm looking a little bit one
underdone stringy head or whatever it's because i just came off doing a set of television tonight
it's been a few hours i've left my makeup on to try and finish this transcript it's now sort of 11
30 at night and i'm filming and probably going to be editing into the early hours of the morning
hence the fact that i myself probably do not look my best see we can all take a bad photo or present
a not so great image when the circumstances are there now i hate to say mean things about
emma watson's choice of outfit here i really do although to be fair she's an actress stepping
out in a red carpet to showcase said outfit so therefore it could be said that she's inviting
critique but anyway i'm not criticizing her appearance just for the sake of it i've noticed
just over the past couple of years that emma has been leaning into what i think is a brand of
feminism totally at odds with the current cultural trend of essentially garish near nudity presented
as empowering of women and if you disagree with that you're somehow racist thank you emma watson
schtick however is to lean away from the notion that being hypersexual is the path to women's
empowerment and instead leaning into a kind of anti-self-sexualization feminism characterized
by taking her entirely beautiful self with her face and figure that look like they should be
dressed and made up in beautifully feminine ways and then dressing in the opposite way hence the
weird looking dress the kind of tacky plastic bobby pins stringy hair minimal makeup and so
on she's actually been doing this on and off for the last couple of years seemingly coinciding
with her push for sustainable red carpet clothing not that that's an excuse it's possible to wear
sustainable clothes that still look well put together just ask catherine middleton
speaking of which emma's big anti-feminine statement outfit was last year at the inaugural
awards ceremony for prince william's earthshot prize an event where all of the guests had to wear
environmentally conscious clothing emma watson wore an upcycled wedding dress with this weird
set of what looked like black baggy pants similar to the kind i used to wear when i was working
customer service jobs and these ugly chunky black boots the outfit leaves her completely figureless
not a scrap of sexuality if you go back a little bit further to 2019 to the premiere of emma's
most recent film little women look at this baggy monstrosity she is wearing i mean
what even is that she looks like a black moth in drag but again no figure no sexuality she is
pointedly pulling right back from how feminine and classically beautiful she can look when she
wants to now go back to 2017 to the premiere of the circle yes she's wearing a beautiful
feminine gown here but note the very pointed hairdo stringy underdone and most notably under
sexed and if you go through a lot of the looks she went with when she did the beauty and the beast
media tour around the same time a number of them not all of them but certainly a few are either
kind of colorless strangely masculine or clumpy and black which would seem strange when you are
promoting a movie where you play a literal disney princess and while yes emma did say she made a few
feminist adjustments to the role those adjustments were not that profound so what's going on here she
never used to present like this through much of her 20s she presented as very feminine
and even sexy at times this anti-sex feminist thing she's got going on is relatively new so
could this be her way of quietly protesting what seems to be the strongest strain of pop culture
feminism nowadays that is less is more pro-sex earning sexuality by being as sexual as possible
possibly or is this her way of pushing back against the unironically exploitative hollywood
and media culture that started sexualizing her when she was in her early teens because they
most certainly did do that which harry potter co-star daniel radcliffe pointed out in a 2014
interview for the associated press around the time of what if the rom-com coming out that a
lot of people were saying you know you're really unconventional romantic lead and so eventually i
got bored of hearing that and i kind of picked someone up on it so i was like what about me is
unconventional does it exactly like tell me and she said well i think it's probably the fact that
you know we associated you with playing harry in a young boy for so long and i my immediate
response was well that the male population has had no problem sexualizing emma watson immediately
he is 100 correct i am a bona fide member of the harry potter generation so that is people
born between 1986 and 1991 and do not even try to change my mind on those dates because i will fight
you and i remember the emma watson fever going around when i was a teenager it was everywhere
then there was this really unsavory incident on emma's 18th birthday which she revealed in a 2009
interview with the daily mail when a photographer lay down on the ground outside the venue where she
had her 18th birthday party and tried to get a photo up her skirt when she walked out she
stated in the interview that overnight she'd become fair game she also tellingly said this
i find this whole thing about being 18 and everyone expects me to be this object i find
the whole concept of being sexy embarrassing and confusing if i do a photo shoot people desperately
want to change me dye my hair blonder pluck my eyebrows give me a fringe then there's the
choice of clothes i know everyone wants a picture of me in a mini skirt but that's not me i feel
uncomfortable i never go out in a mini skirt it's nothing to do with protecting the hermione image
i wouldn't do that personally i don't actually think it's even that sexy what's sexy about
saying i'm here with my boobs out in a short skirt have a look at everything i've got my idea of sexy
is that less is more the less you reveal the more people can wonder interesting so it's possibly no
surprise that in 2014 just one year after doing a photo shoot for gq magazine to promote her role as
some sort of wild child in the movie the bling ring wearing a dress that looks eerily similar
to julia roberts's hook address in pretty women she was speaking at the un and launching her he
for she feminist campaign inviting men to stand alongside women to achieve gender equality add to
that the fact that she grew up literally spent her formative years in harvey weinstein's hollywood
and perhaps you have a recipe for an anti-sex feminist backlash against the way she was
sexualized at a young age she wouldn't be the first starlet to do it they either deal with it by
going completely off the rails like lindsay lohan britney spears or amanda bynes poor things or
they do the complete opposite which thankfully is the road that emma watson seems to have gone down
so what do you all think is emma watson effectively trying to be less attractive
is it a feminist statement or do you guys like the new anti-feminine way she's doing herself up
