At least they're nice enough to admit they're behind it and just wanted to get 4chan shut downYou may have heard about Emma Watson being threatened for some speech by 4chan, with a site set up to turn out nudes of her if she went on with it
This is a scam and bait

Do NOT go to the website indicated
(I have not double checked any of this, and I don't particularly care for testing for viruses so I think I'll skip it on this one)
See... shit like this really isn't helping the gender war hysteria. As if we haven't got enough people riled up and casting stones at each other, we now have marketing agencies deliberately inciting more unrest. Rantic's tactics seem as disgusting as they are naive.A threat against actress Emma Watson in response to a gender equality speech she made at the United Nations now appears to have been a viral marketing stunt.
The Harry Potter star and UN women's ambassador delivered an impassioned speech at the launch of the UN's HeForShe campaign, which calls for men to support women in striving for gender equality.
Users of the online community 4chan, which previously leaked private nude photos of female celebrities including Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, created a thread linking to a webpage called "EmmaYouAreNext.com".
The page showed a photo of Watson with a clock which was assumed to be counting down to the time nude photos of her would be posted.
Social media users rallied behind Watson in condemning the threats and blaming 4chan users for the website.
But it now appears to have been a marketing stunt by an organisation called Rantic, which aims to shut down 4chan.
Emma Watson said:Men, I would like to give this opportunity to extend your formal invitation.
Gender equality is your issue, too.
To date, I've seen my father's role as a parent being valued less by society.
I've seen young men suffering from illness, unable to ask for help for fear it will make them less of a man.
I've seen men fragile and insecure by what constitutes male success.
Men don't have the benefits of equality, either.
...
I want men to take up this mantle so their daughters, sisters and mothers can be free from prejudice but also so their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human, too and in doing so, be a more true and complete version of themselves.
I doubt it, at least for a long time. Apparently the organs are grown from residual penis cells from the patient, which won't exist in that case. I'm no scientist, but the article seems to imply that the body has a chance of rejecting genitals that aren't from the same body.I wonder if this could possibly be a new development in the lives of the transgendered.
