Emma Watson updates her Instagram stories

[Version française]










She shared a post by Matt Haig saying "To the person who said they like me best when I am not ranting about politics: I like me best when I am not ignoring fascism."

How long before the media twist it to make it about JKR?

i mean does it need twisted kinda hard to think its not about recent events? glad she finally said something about how terrible the world is right now as felt like she was ignoring it for real

Emma must read comments here because

someone is like 'she will never update social media again because she is afraid' or whatever

Eden I'm curious in France do people notice the weirdness of UK politics right now and how much like America its becoming? or are they just too busy trying to worry about France and le penn types? Just wondering

Eden said...

Too busy with our own politics.

i like when you dont rant about politics seems like something JKR would say to emma when she was a teen lol

Anonymous said...

I dont think its directly about jkr but more a general statement on everything going wrong currently but yes daily fail and GB news will be like 'Emma Watson strikes back at jkr with thinly veiled insta post' soon

That's our girl — loud and clear!

Be whoever you want to be, love whoever you want to love, and live however you choose. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

More Emma Watsons, fewer JKRs and Trumps, please.

I was holding a bowl of soup while opening Insta with my other hand.
When I saw she posted a story dropped my bowl.
You owe me lunch Emma! 🙃
I’m happy to see she still remembers her Insta password.
Hope all is well with her.

Emma signed the open letter too, so it almost certainly is about that.

By the way, has anyone here tried Renais Gin? What does it taste like?

Anonymous said...

Sounds like something an ex bf told her likely green or that new guy lmao xd

good woman emma not to listen and double down never be silent!

Anonymous said...

I tried it when it was launched in 2023, even if I wasn’t a fan of gin before. And it’s now my favorite drink with dessert wine. Strong but not too strong.

Ngl this could literally be direct at anybody, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was due to the new bill Terfling helped fund

Anonymous said...

Huh, her follow count just went down to 117.

clearly felton unfollowed xd

America sympathizes with her

Anonymous said...

The phrase she posted is the exact kinda thing I imagine Felton goes around saying to her ngl... he has huge 'lets keep politics out of this' energy which is just code for i disagree with you but dont want to voice it properly as it could disrupt my money which is the real important thing

I’m from the U.S., and yeah things are a mess here too when it comes to trans rights. But what’s happening in the UK right now? It’s honestly disgusting. As painful as it is, I think moments like this really show who actually supports trans people and who was just doing it for attention or cookie points. If people go along with this new bill, it says a lot.

At the end of the day, trans women are women. No law can change that. It hurts to see years of progress being rolled back like this, but I really believe that with strong community and support from the people around them, trans folks will keep living their truth no matter what the government says.

And for anyone in the UK please, when the time comes, vote for people who actually represent your values. This time, the wrong side won. But it doesn’t always have to be like this.

Supreme Court justices are appointed by an independent commission, so who you vote for doesn't really affect it.

Eden said...

She stopped following bellaramsey, cotswoldqigong, joshographee, kerrywashington, ra._.wane, rashidajones, tessamaethompson and thegreatunlearn. Bella's account and the greatunlearn's have been deactivated so they may reappear if they activate their account again.

whats weird is having watched the uk judge speak they said 'this shouldnt be used a victory over one side or the other' but jkr took it like that anyway
and suddenly trans rights are being rolled back everywhere
even though the judgment wasn't about that at all but rather the definition of a word
but terfs act like it became illegal to be trans overnight and so many businesses and public places started implementing this non-existent ban on people it's mass hysteria and panic

Anonymous said...

Bella is non-binary, i think? and their new series of a show came out and haters are attacking hard because bella is form uk of course. i think bella has deleted their account in the past when too many haters show up

Anonymous said...

Not sure how people are equating fascism and trans rights.
I'm sure if she wanted to post about trans rights she would (as she has done in the past).

Fascism is the tag being applied to Trump (and others following in his path) and I would have thought those people are clearly the target of the post.

Anonymous said...

Emma is talking about racism, not JK Rowling or anything related to her

Anonymous said...

trans people are also a target of fascists

Anonymous said...

Rowling courts Trumpists favour and posts often about his role back of DEI and laws banning trans people from swimming completions and such things. Thanking liberals for helping it all be possible. its all connected to the same anti-woke movement they are in

Anonymous said...

Emma is from uk she is talking about uk issues when she posts this and of course on schedule her enemies are also aware https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14668097/Emma-Watson-breaks-silence-trans-ruling-JK-rowling.html

It could be argued the last 10 years of rising fascism in the west saw trans people be used as an easy wedge issue to normalize all kinds of rollbacks on peoples rights and allowed even further extremism to grow and fester uncontested in public discourse.

Once you allow one minority to be sacrificed it is not the end, its only the start these people have a long list and believe me sooner or later everyone is on there

'finally, they came for me'

okay we all knew daily fail would do this but dont click on it for gods sake we all know it will be lies

And sorry for the screaming in the beginning,had to stop myself from destroying the keyboard into oblivion.

I’ve seen a lot of comments about Emma over time, like ‘I liked her more before she was a feminist’ or ‘before she talked about politics.’ Maybe she’s speaking to those people, or maybe to someone specific. Maybe this time, she has a good reason to respond.

That One Guy said...

Anyone who liked Emma before she was an outspoken feminist, liked her when she was a child.

In which case, Chris Hansen would like them to have a seat over here...

Has she unpost it?

Eden said...

Yes.

Anonymous said...

Is it just me or does ra._.wane and joshographee just not show up on my following either?

Anonymous said...

No... Why would she do it? Even if it was a moment of rage and created a stir it was an incredible answer to all the rot that there is lately

Anonymous said...

did the og poster delete it or just emma?

either way the rage from terfs hit new highs after it so would understand being scared

Anonymous said...

I'm pretty sure she linked to a post of his rather than a story. The post is still up, so she likely took hers down. He's limiting the comments on his posts though, so maybe he asked her to take it down.

Anonymous said...

Threats to the original poster who is a way smaller account than Emma who has millions of followers likely got out of hand

Rowling is screaming about 'never forgiving' Emma in other headlines eye role worthy tantrum

grow up you are literally almost 60

Anonymous said...

its a real 'if the shoe fits moment' tbh
maybe emma meant it about terfs maybe not
but they saw the term fascism and were like 'oh must be about us'
so yeah they know what they are...

Speaking of which little not so fun fact, one of the reasons To Catch a Predator was cancelled, was because one of the predators was a district attorney who offed himself in front of them…

Anonymous said...

It’s an old post by Matt Haig and it clearly resonated with how she feels about the world. Maybe she meant to post it on something else but who knows. Also Josh O’Connor and Bella Ramsey look to have deactivated IG so not unfollows. And great she’s doubled down on trans support. The Daily Mail and the like will have a field day that she signed the letter but she clearly doesn’t care and isn’t afraid.

I don’t think the press have realized that Emma has subsequently signed the letter!!! They’ll be major headlines once/if they realize…
She’s terrific and not scared. It puts the her not posting due to being scared as total BS. She was just off social media

Anonymous said...

No, others deactivated accounts. No need to troll

No it’s a Matt Haig quote

I think she just put it for a short time deliberately

what happened is Emma left her phone unattended in Edens basement, so Eden post something for controversy xD
