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 "😴😴😴" 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.

I can't even read this, r-slur. Within like 1 minute of him deploying the first marsey I say "I hope nobody posts this everywhere" and while Ed was gone I brought it to Deuxrama.
There's one person in the world who could dispute that, and it's Ed. That was the original idea, getting Ed back. Marsey going out of control wasn't my original idea.
So if Ed ever rejoins us, I will gladly give him the crown but until then it apparently falls on me.

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.

Wearing a condom during s*x doesn't mean you're having s*x. You're literally fricking a plastic bag, your peepee isn't actually touching the vagina. If you've had s*x with hundreds of women but each and every time you wore a condom you would still be a virgin since your peepee never made contact with the vagina. It's literally the softcore version of a chastity cage, imagine cucking yourself before putting your peepee inbetween some nasty roastie curtains. Imagine sticking your peepee inside a girl and still being a virgin, kek.

I've got dementia. Of course I don't remember any of this. I had to use search to find it and I was a little surprised I was actually there on day 1.

Yeah, maybe it's just because I was relatively new, but I felt there was a golden age for a while when we could ping and it was usually not abused for actual harassment, we used it to talk to people from outside our community. One of my favorite posts of all time is where somebody got pinged because they really like Garfield a lot and they came and talked with us for a while.

True story.
I used to strongly dislike emojis, even my own mother and girlfriends, and I couldn't stand emoji usage. I used to be pissed offed about that. BUT. My heart softened after I had sperged out at ed about the exsessiced emoji usage years ago, what was that, about 3 or 4 years ago. But marsey softened my heart. I even, unbeknownst to anyone else, I went in search of what that was. I learned that the original Marseys was a telegram sticker pack, and it was the original Marseys that broke my distaste for emojis.
True story. It was you who broke my distaste for emojis
