So looking at her videos on Telegram (https://t.me/nasimesabz1), she was anti gun. She was a very weird individual with clear mental health issues.
I don't even know what to make of most of her content on that channel.

Not sure if that translates well and Americans would realize the same or not.
The truth it's not as easy as it seems to separate the "merely deviant" and the violently deviant. That's why censors often choose blanket censorship of any deviance.
Obviously in hindsight we know she was an act and correspondingly interest in her has declined.
Blurring the line between act and reality is one of the foundations of entertainment. It's the reason people admire good method actors so much. It's the reason people like Andy Kaufman are considered artistic gods.
As someone else mentioned below that easy to have an opinion after the fact, my observation of the shooter, as well be biased, but I feel that even I didn't know anything about her - I would still think the videos were odd. I can't exactly pin-point whats odd about it.
But it's also possible she was on-edge because she was angry and frustrated by a situation that was important to her (earnings, passions, etc). Lots of people act like that when they feel upset, then you add in the pressure of a camera...
Ofcourse this doesn't excuse what she did.
Her entire personality was based on being vegan.
She considered herself to be someone from an alien planet sent to earth to suffer.
She criticized all the suffering around her and explained how nobody could understand her.
She was apparently against anal sex.
She hated women who used their body to get places. While she herself did do that (explicitly said so) in her videos.
She thought there is a conspiracy against her "truth".
