In the replies to Watson's tweet, Twitter users poked fun at Watson's point, saying he inadvertently was correct in pointing out Western society allows women the liberty to serve a beer with her butt cheeks. User @thebritishertwi made that point, gaining over 25 retweets and 680 likes (shown below, left). Cody Johnson mocked Watson's tweet, writing, "Dear terrorists, Sorry about the Ass Beer. Please no more terror. We feel just awful about the Ass Beer," gaining over 130 retweets and 3,100 likes (shown below, right). Watson would later go on to condemn the mockery by writing, "The fact that people in this thread more vehemently defend the 'freedom; of a barmaid to serve a beer with her ass than they will ever defend freedom of speech tells you everything you need to know about the current state of western society."^[2]

thebritisher @thebritishertwi Replying to @Prison Planet For once we actually agree. Islamist terrorists would have her in a niqab in a flash. The ministry of vice and virtue would also want to know the names and addresses of anyone who viewed this. They hate this and more so the liberty which would allow it. 8:40 AM Oct 21, 2019 Twitter Web App

One popular means of mocking Watson was a Simpsons reference to a clip in which Smithers is terrified of women's butts in a strip club. This was tweeted by @greysfaher and @TheSocietyDude, among others (shown below).
