I love the shade Emma Watson just threw at JK Rowling at the BAFTAs. She said, "I'm here for ALL of the witches, bar one." Emma is a QUEEN.pic.twitter.com/3jXEDVpzHQ

Maybe Emma Watson mouthed \u201cbar one\u201d during her acceptance speech and maybe she didn\u2019t (she absolutely did), but regardless, \u201cI\u2019m here for all the witches\u201d is the best bit for me. A lot of young trans girls are watching that clip this morning and smiling. She\u2019s a lovely soul.

Freedom of expression is very important. So I want to make it clear that I 100% support Emma Watson\u2019s right to be an ungrateful and talentless little shit, as much as I do the rights of her critics to call her an ungrateful and talentless little shit.

I wonder which Pizza Hut Emma Watson would be working in if it wasn't for JK Rowling

People are being harsh on the wonderful Emma Watson for her ungracious dismissal of JK Rowling.\n\nPlease don\u2019t judge her on this one brief moment, but instead consider her decades of incredibly bad acting.pic.twitter.com/AY7em5SULo

Pretty funny to see all these self-proclaimed \u201cfeminists\u201d saying that Emma Watson, a grown woman, shouldn\u2019t be able to speak her mind because she \u201cowes\u201d all her professional accomplishments to someone she worked for over 11 years ago.

Pretty sure that she is a UN ambassador, Ivy League graduate, has acted in several other prestige films, launched multiple companies, is on the board of directors for another organization, speaks at international conferences, and has done philanthropy full-time for half her life.

The thing that\u2019s completely wild about the Emma Watson thing, aside from the notion that you owe former employees loyalty in all matters for the rest of time, is that she didn\u2019t say *anything* negative about her. She was supportive of trans women. That was it. That was the slight

\u2018B-b-b-but Emma Watson owes her career to-\u2019\nNo. Because someone once gave you a job, that doesn\u2019t mean you must enslave your conscience, your integrity, your very soul to that person. \nThat idea is utterly despicable.

The unhinged sexism thrown at Emma Watson for speaking her mind against JK Rowling. She graduated from Brown University. Emma would've been successful regardless of being in Harry Potter.https://twitter.com/LeahyMichael43/status/1503376531602747399\u00a0\u2026
