At the start of the video, the Reddit user inserted a clip of Brittany Broski talking about the “responsibility” of the TikTokers and influencers to spread awareness about certain issues. Brittany Broski says:

“If you can, then why don’t you? If you have a platform, and you have people’s ears, you have their attention, how dare you not? How dare you not say things that matter?”

However, it is the next clip that left netizens infuriated as Brittany Broski was then heard claiming that she was “not responsible” for talking about the situation in Palestine.

Brittany Broski’s conflicting views have sparked a lot of rage amongst the netizens, as one even called it “hypocrisy”:
