We Should All Learn From J.K. Rowling’s Response To Emma Watson’s Comments About Loving Her

And earlier today, Rowling offered a lengthier comment on the situation with Emma, tweeting: “Emma Watson and her co-stars have every right to embrace gender identity ideology. Such beliefs are legally protected, and I wouldn’t want to see any of them threatened with loss of work, or violence, or death, because of them.”

“Emma and Dan [Radcliffe] in particular have both made it clear over the last few years that they think our former professional association gives them a particular right – nay, obligation – to critique me and my views in public. Years after they finished acting in Potter, they continue to assume the role of de facto spokespeople for the world I created,” she went on.
