"I think my point with EQ is that she says things to shock on purpose, she wants people to speak on her as she see’s it as advertisement. With her, she doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. Whereas other people, like Troy for example, are putting themselves up to be upstanding members of society whilst screaming racist obscenities at minorities."
Yes, perhaps - akin to others (Delulu, Dread, Pearl, etc) EQ does say the majority of what she says for 'shock' yet when that shock is acheived she also uses nasty tacticts to try to manipulate situations, again similar to the likes of those previously mentioned and others.
It can also not be downplayed how deeply EQ affects her viewers or others with what is said whether she cares what others think of her or not - and deep down I think someone who spends such a great deal of time constructing a persona such as EQ's does give more of a do than she tries to let on and that is apparent by watching her interact with others or react to what is said about her.
"I think at this point people know what EQ is about and that she will say offensive and outlandish things. I don’t know why anyone acts shocked when she does."
People are shocked (and rightly so) because the things EQ says/does are not things others generally would and again I will draw the comparison to the above mentioned people - any time someone says such offensive things it is going to shock people and it seems quite like there is a competition on who can say the most heinous thing and offend the most people at the same time.
"People have a choice to block someone who offends them, or to keep getting offended when they carry on doing the same thing continuously."
People do block, I know I have done, yet it still appears (especially with EQ encouraging her viewers to bump up her videos etc so she is on the fyp) - that is how I was first introduced to everything, I knew of nothing and it appeared on my fyp because one of them (I can't remember which was first now) said something offensive - the issue is as long as they continue and seemingly feed off of negative reactions as well as the strangely positive ones (I can't fathom how any can comment in support off the back of atrocious things being said by the likes of Delulu, Dread, EQ, etc) countless people are being triggered and offended.
That is why it is important to say/do something if you see/hear something, silence is compliance and compliance is an act of condoning. Our morals are what guide us through life.
