Emma Watson Birthday Countdown

After the Harry Potter actress gave a speech at a UN event this weekend anonymous 4chan users claimed to have nude pictures of her, and suggested she would be the next victim of the celebrity nude scandal.

When it got to midnight no photographs appeared. Instead visitors were greeted with a picture of the 4chan logo with the hashtag #shutdown4chan.

On their website is a message to Barack Obama which criticizes the recent celebrity photo leaks and demands for internet censorship, including the shutdown of 4chan.

Leveson Inquiry Given Examples Of 'sexist And Offensive' Reporting

According to Business Insider, Rantic Marketing is the work of a group of internet pranksters who capitalise on viral stories to get web hits.

The Twitter account of Rantic has (at the time of writing) 220k followers on Twitter, yet they have only tweeted 12 times. That's not very many tweets for a successful viral marketing company.

It's all a bit confusing. And there's more... a 'Brad Cockingham', who claims to be in charge of the company, has no internet presence linked to Rantic. It seem to actually be a hoax... of a hoax.

They “belong” to their audience and their lives are rarely their own. Time and time again, we hear stories of women being abused throughout Hollywood. The pressure for women to achieve or maintain the work they do often leads them to do things that leave them feeling uncomfortable and degraded. 

Millie Bobby Brown On Being Sexualized After Her18th Birthday

With this constant and seemingly never-ending pressure, it comes as no shock how easily and often younger women are sexualized while in the spotlight. If it wasn’t bad enough for us to commodify sexuality to adults, many have played “waiting games” – counting down the days until they can legally sexualize children too. 

Now, it’s beyond creepy to count down the days until it’s “appropriate” to sexualize a minor, but, for some reason, it has been somewhat socially acceptable for years. In 2004, before the Olsen twins were set to turn 18, several websites had active countdowns by the minute telling viewers when the Mary Kate and Ashley would become legal.” A few years later, tabloids across the West were furiously awaiting the birthday of Harry Potter actress Emma Watson to be legal for sexualization too. 

Unlike some stars who market themselves sexually even as young girls, Watson had played a character in a family film. But in UK tabloids especially (where the age of consent is 16), she had been the victim of a predatory practice with no care for how wholesomely she may have marketed herself.

Child Stars Called Out Media Mistreatment

With this topic in mind, one of the first personalities I thought of was a girl called Linsey Dawn McKenzie. English glamour model, and later a pornographic personality, McKenzie made her topless modeling debut in the UK Sunday Sport on her 16th birthday in 1994. She had been sexualized from an outrageously young age due to her naturally large breasts. 

Modeling swimsuits from a young age, as she approached her 16th birthday, tabloids published photos of her from June to July of that year, counting down the days until they could legally show her topless to their predominantly male readers.

Following her 18th birthday, when she was finally legal in the U.S., she made her North American debut in “breast fetishism” magazine Score who made her their cover girl in a special edition for their 50th anniversary. 

Things You Didn't Know About Emma Watson

Sexualized from a young age with encouragement from her elder superiors, it’s no wonder she ended up in adult magazines and hardcore pornography – that’s what she was molded into during adolescence.

Actress Natalie Portman spoke out a few years ago about the “sexual terrorism” she faced as a teenager. Speaking about starring in her first film, The Professional, at the age of 12, Portman expressed how media treatment affected her negatively, even later in life. She further explained how a “countdown” was started on her local radio show, awaiting the day of her 18th birthday when she would finally be “legal” for adults to sleep with.

She spoke about how film reviewers felt comfortable enough to discuss her “budding breasts, ” leading her to the realization from a young age that she would be subject to sexualization, regardless of her roles or her maturity. 

Millie Bobby Brown And The Sexualisation Of Teen Stars

With those in media industries being so comfortable sexualizing young girls, the behavior will naturally be viewed as “acceptable” by members of the public. These women don’t even have the option to choose how people view them. Without any say, many of them are simply stuck on calendars for men old enough to be their fathers waiting to sexualize them legally.

What moral message are we sending young girls if they’re sexualized regardless of what they do? Many could stick to the most wholesome roles and jobs possible (and dress modestly like Mayim Bialik), but they’d still be subject to perversion the moment they become an adult
