Now that Marsey has gone viral, it is with a heavy heart that I look back on my role in creating this alt-right meme that strikes fear into the hearts of marginalized people in our society. Either that or I want to some parlay my role in this into getting attention from a few internet neurodivergents and I gotta do it soon before /r/drama gets nuked.
The first time she was mentioned by name was on 6/29/2018.
Ed bb, you had no idea.
But with a bit more digging I found the imgur filename of the laughing marsey that started it all, aks7kvX.png.

Searching for that, we find the first time it was posted on reddit was actually on /r/internetdrama, a small, pathetic subreddit created by SRD as a kind of castrated imitation of /r/drama. On 5/22/2018 the fateful post was made. EDIT: Unddit reveals more important metareddit personalities were involved!
@KongdorTheDongHolder and SAC-Lawn_Gnome are having a slapfight.
Ed snoozeposts at SAC. Just saying "๐ด๐ด๐ด" was enough to break a lot of brains.
SAC's epic comeback: "Snooze posting? SMDH."
Ed deploys for the first time.
I say: "I gotta admit, this one is pretty adorbs. Just try not to use it more than 10 times/day." Because one of Ed's gimmicks was posting the same gifs constantly.
He replies with words of momentous consequence for the future: "STOP TRYING TO GIVE ME IDEAS!!!!"
In the remaining 8 days of May alone, Ed deployed no less than 46 times against, among others:
pitbull owners
users who got banned from various subreddits
a "KIA strag"
"newstrag alts"
"memerson mcmemestrag"
"r/aznidentity type chinky incels"
an "anime strag" "CA strag" who replied "Stop using that cat you goddarn r-slurred ape"
a "sexy Indian dudecel"
a "degenerate consumer of anime porn"
a "christcuck"
anti-semites
"MDEstrags"
Trump supporters
Glamour magazine
racists
Roseanne Barr
Sargon viewers
Within a few days he already had half the subreddit seething at him for posting Marsey so much. A neo-nazi hate symbol was born.

It is a mystery. I suspect he's still around but just got tired of edposting and doesn't want to be tied to the name for some reason but that's mostly just a hunch. He did show up here a few times as @Ed_ButteredToast.

He got banned for drama. Then was reborn as al_butteredtoast. Then banned again. Some say there's a little bit of ed in all of us.
