Following news of Alan&rsquo;s death, Emma commemorated him with an image on Twitter that featured Rickman&rsquo;s face overlaid with a quote that expressed his strongly-held feminist beliefs.
Rickman&rsquo;s statement read: &ldquo;There is nothing wrong with a man being a feminist, I think it is to our mutual advantage.&rdquo; Twitter trolls quickly latched on to her tribute and began attacking the actress, who played Hermione Granger opposite Rickman&rsquo;s Severus Snape. One post called Watson&rsquo;s tribute, &lsquo;tacky, classless, tactless, disgusting behaviour&rsquo;.
Another user wrote: &lsquo;He&rsquo;s not even cold and you&rsquo;re using him to fuel the feminist agenda bandwagon? Not impressed.&rdquo; Watson has been a long-time target for the anti-feminist community, with attacks ramping up after she became a Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women.
