Okay, but shouldn’t her speech about feminism be the reason these men are watching her, rather than her appearance?

Yes, she’s beautiful, I get that. But in this case, she’s speaking about feminism and eaquality, and the first reaction is, “Oh wow, she looks good,” or “Damn, that ass.”

I think that’s disrespectful and undermines the message of her speech. She’s not there as an actress, but as an advocate for women’s rights.

    Ahh I miss that 4chan meme. This whole thread is and it applies to about 95% of what's posted on social media now. Back then it was Markov chains doing the heavy lifting, now GPTs.

    From looking down the accounts of people who actually post memes in /c/politics, their whole accounts look AI generated to blatantly manipulate users.

    Arguably, the meme maker is the one framing a still picture as a sexualized moment and thus is the one creating the sexist narrative from a still that we don't have the context on.

    I agree. I hate this meme because it seems to say: "Emma Watson thinks women should have rights, and yet, she has a butt. Curious!"

    Or, more generously, it says, "These men believe in feminism, and yet, they enjoy looking at attractive women. Hypocrites!" which is also unreasonable.
