This is Nasim Aghdam, the now infamous Youtube HQ Shooter. This 39-year-old San Diegan Woman never hurt anybody. Her record was squeaky clean as any American of Iranian decent knows their record has to be to get anywhere in this society.
As we now know, she actually didn't personally know anybody at the YT HQ and had traveled to the HQ with full intention of executing a mass shooting........Why?
YOUTUBE CENSORSHIP
Nasim had a popular YT channel that featured exercise videos, animal rights activism, and vegan dieting tips. She was of the Bahai faith which promotes the acceptance of all religions, as well as unity and equality for all people. By all accounts, she was as liberal as liberal gets and is the polar opposite of what you'd expect in a mass shooter. This is probably why her "spree" barely counts as a mass shooting, even though I define it with intent and not death count. Its likely that she realized how her anger clouded her judgement while she was committing the crime and did the only thing one can do in that situation; end it.
While I think, in a way, that she was a martyr for free speech, It's obvious that the way she went about it was completely wrong. She took a horrible situation and reacted in the worst way possible and that should never be promoted.
What should be promoted is the fact that this tradegy is the direct result of YT censoring her content and denying her ad placements for seemingly no reason.....except we all know the reason: RACISM. Her channel featured arabic writing which is ignorantly associated with radical islamic terrorism.
As well as a few personas she had made for her channel. The one to the right she called Vegan Ninja which of course could be perceived as her being a radical islamic terrorist despite all other evidence of this being completely missing. She also had her own website that featured similar content as well as references to the "adpocalyspe" a popular term for YT's tendency to deny ad-revenue to channels that don't align with their political agenda.
The first mistake she actually made was bashing YT's ever-worsening standards for revenue creation on YT. Of course, this wasn't and shouldn't be considered a mistake because the Second Amendment protects her right to do so but we all know our rights and amendments don't mean jack shit when we're up against billion dollar corportations.
This is the first mass shooting directly related to political censorship that is being reported by major media outlets because you can't cover up something this radical. The gun she used for the attack was bought legally. She visited a shooting range the morning before the attack. Her family reported her missing days before the attack and told police about her anger towards YT. Her YT channel was relatively successful until she started being censored.
I'm so happy you posted about this.
The tides are turning.
