After the Jennifer Lawrence leaked nude photos took over the internet, several women’s rights group stood up to defend the actress and fight for the rights of women as a whole. Emma Watson’s words during the launch of the “He for She” campaign at U.N. headquarters in New York City probably hit the bulls eye. Aside from championing feminism, Emma also mentioned that like women, men also get discriminated. The Emma Watson speech didn’t just endear the Harry Potter film alum even more to her fans, it even opened the eyes of many people around the world regarding the issues concerning feminism.
Amid all the positive reception on Emma Watson Speech, a 4Chan user seems to be not getting it all. Worse, he even threatened the 24-year old actress that she will leak her own nudes because of what she said.
In a post entitled “Emma You Are Next”, the user created an ominous countdown to the time that she will expose Emma Watson’s racy photos. It features a weeping Watson, a timer, 4Chans’ logo, and words "Never forget, the biggest to come thus far."
4Chan is the same site where Jennifer Lawrence’s leaked nude photos were published. It is also the host of private photos of Rihanna, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst, and many others.
Emma Watson was chosen as a U.N. Women Global Goodwill ambassador earlier this year and in recent appearance in New York, she hopes that "galvanize as many men and boys as possible to be advocates for change.”
"For the record: Feminism by definition is the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities. It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes," the British actress said, framing gender equality as a human right.”
"My recent research has shown me that feminism has become an unpopular word," she said. "Women are choosing not to identify as feminists. Apparently, I am among the ranks of women whose expressions are seen as too strong, too aggressive, isolating and anti-men. Unattractive even. Why has the word become such an uncomfortable one?"
That 4Chan user, it is definitely not the right to respond to Emma Watson Speech.
