Twitter drags Emma Watson for #BlackOutTuesday posts

[Jordan Miller]

Cancel culture set their sights on actress Emma Watson today. 

Twitter claims Watson isn't using her platform to spread awareness about the #BlackOutTuesday or Black Lives Matter movement. Instead, they feel like she's using the #BlackOutTuesday hashtag as an opportunity to look a certain way. People want her to post links where people can donate towards BLM organizations. 

Another issue: Watson added a white border around the black square photos so they'd match the rest of her feed.

Her name is currently trending on Twitter.

Twitter is honestly so powerful, yet can be so toxic.

I feel like Celebs or anyone are d*mned if they do and d*mmed if they don’t. It seems that everyone is on a high horse and judging away from their smart phones. 

Its not a celebrities responsibility to promote a charity. Use Google or Bing and find one to donate to. Be smart and use your SMART phone.

Imagine thinking any social media posting I doing something. We don’t need to spread awareness of what’s happening in the streets right now, we can see it burning from our window.
What we do need to do is spread awareness of available resources and guide people on ways they can ACTUALLY help. Posting black squares is doing **** all to help anyone. I donated to BLM, hoping it’s more proactive than virtue signaling on Instagram.

It’s not about what celebrities can do... or impact it’s about what we all do and how we can all make a difference

Poor Hermoine , hopefully she can cast a spell to make this all disappear. I mean SHES A WIZARD AFTER ALL. WHY ISN’T TWITTER ASKING HER TO USE HER SPELLS.

the people complaining are statistically the least likely to actually help and do something

Tbh, I was reading an article that says this whole #BlackoutTuesday ended up being less helpful, because now the hashtag #BlackLiveMatters is flooded with black squares and is hiding the important posts

Quote

It was a muddled initiative to begin with, and on Tuesday morning, it proved to be a liability: Due to an overwhelming number of users participating in the campaign, Instagram was flooded with images of black squares tagged under the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag, drowning out information on protests, fundraisers, documented police violence, and other important tools for the movement.

 

But about Emma, at least she posted something. That is the thing though, if they don't speak, they're bashed. If they speak, then they're criticized for what they say, or the way they say it, or the way they post it. So if I was a famous person, or had like a huge platform, I personally wouldn't know how to say anything without getting criticized or without offending someone.

THIS. 

Exactly the point I was trying to make when people were saying Britney should say something. People try to do the right thing and are still criticized for it. God forbid someone does it in a way that isn’t to their exact liking on social media. It’s deranged.

Hold up, I’ll meet you in a sec. (Kay..) I gotta get my lunch from the locker.. Oh my gawd Mrs. Sparks’ lab exam was SoooO000oO Hard 2Day!! (Yeah it totally wuz.) Kay see you soon, BYYYIIIEEEEEEEEE!! (Yah)

She has 57,2 MILLION followers on Instagram, that's a huge COUNTRY... Of course she'll "upset" some.
Honestly, what we should cancel is cancel culture itself. They want to play the cool and woke card with it, but they are simply annoying. The important stuff is talked face to face or solved on the streets or at work, not on Twitter.

She’s an amazing person, just shut up and actually do something lol.

People is so toxic and evil, is so easy to judge people behind a phone. 

Emma is just a wonderful person who fights against so many injustices and works for so many good causes.

I thought you didn't know anything about Harry Potter? 

Wait you called her a Wizard, nevermind.  She's a witch, Sully. Also it's spelled Hermione.
