Emma has been in the public eye forever and has never tried to fit in just to grab attention. Her fans accept her for who she is, of course, it helps that it is impossible to hate her because she is this incredibly intelligent and beautiful human being who is always kind to people, especially her fans. Even though she is always vocal about issues related to various social themes, and has very serious views about gender inequality in our society, her sense of humour and wit never fails to impress her fans.
