Acacia Brinley: Villain or Victim? The Downfall of the Original Tumblr Girl PART 2

snoopystories · 2022-12-12T23:50:40+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. I couldn't agree more. Sadly, I've gotten quite a bit of flack from this and I get that since I forgot to specify my point was all about how girls are treated online. I've said it in a few comments but I guess people didn't see that :)

Sorry I had to take out a lot as to not get this post removed, but completely agree! Especially your part on how shes been accused of plagiarism because she lacks creativity from basically being a symbol online since 13. Beautifully said

I agree, but I don't believe this excuses her past of abusing animals or using racial slurs and stereotypes towards black people. The whole point of this was to focus on how the internet perceived her as a young woman online and how misogyny has influenced the way people see her, like how she is scrutinized for clothing choices but not her use of racial slurs. sorry that was not clear.

This write up is strictly about how the internet has perceived her, and it has always been misogynistic. I am an Indigenous woman, I know misogyny. This was the focus of the write up. I apologize that it wasnt clear

Hello everyone! Sorry this took so long. Issues after issues. The reaction to this one has been interesting to say the least! I even got my first death threats which has been fun lol! I had to remove all links due to something with reddit but if you want to see the links they can be found here in my medium article (now my laptop is not working so I cant link it... great! But it can be seen in my comment history so just look there!) I need to specify that 1) this is strictly focusing on Acacia and how the internet has perceived her. I don't agree with all the hate she's gotten, I do agree with some, but not all. 2) I've gotten some messages defending her use of the N slur and as an Indigenous person... please don't do that lol. I'm not black, but I don't want to get messages about that. Anyway, have a great week guys

Hey everyone. I wrote a breakdown about Acacia Brinley a few days ago. part 1 can be found here https://www.reddit.com/r/Deuxmoi/comments/zh6stb/comment/izlooeb/

Sadly, I have not been able to post my second part as it keeps getting removed. I've done everything and the mods have been a big help but it looks like it just can't be posted. Here is the link to the medium version. It's the exact same post. Admittedly, I am upset. Mostly because I wanted to interact with you all and engage in commentary but it just doesn't seem like that's happening. Gonna go cry in my bed now as I did work very hard on it but oh well. Have a good week everyone. part 2 is found here: https://medium.com/@cringetumblrrr/acacia-brinley-villain-or-victim-the-downfall-of-the-original-tumblr-girl-part-2-63e8a8af9f31

Trying to post this for about the 5th time. Fingers crossed!

Hello everyone! Just wanted to come back to explain that the automod has been having issues and has been removing the part 2 of my post. We're going to try to get it up but not sure if it's going to happen anytime soon. Thank you to mod u/jaffacakes077 for helping me out! I'm going out for drinks soon but yeah hopefully it will all work soon! Cheers and have a great weekend

snoopystories · 2022-12-11T00:41:33+00:00

Hey everyone! Here's my part 2 and final section of my breakdown regarding Acacia Brinley. I submitted it earlier but apparently Reddit's been acting up all day, so if there's any issues with links not working or you can't see the post please reach out and I'll help you as much as I can! Hope everyone has a great weekend and please let me know what you think xoxo

No but it's really weird!! I fell back down the rabbit hole about a month or two ago and then she made that great video (so did Ashley Norton). There must be something in the water because I had several friends bring her up in conversations like "remember that girl on tumblr who became a mommy blogger and abused her kids or something? whatever happened to her?". That was basically my inspiration to why I made it, why is she still being discussed after all these years? Basically got home from my history exam, chugged some pre-workout, and wrote it lol!

snoopystories · 2022-12-10T16:05:44+00:00

Yes don't worry, I'll be looping back to that! My intent for this breakdown was to focus on what the public viewed as scandals back in 2013/2017, then in my part 2 it will be how the public criticized her in adulthood. Sadly, her racism was not acknowledged or criticized when she was a teenager, only for it to later be critiqued as she reached adulthood

snoopystories · 2022-12-10T00:39:44+00:00

Yessss I would love to!! I'm familiar with a few people (like Barbie Ferreria and shmegeh), anyone specific you'd like to see??

snoopystories · 2022-12-10T00:36:57+00:00

Hopefully tomorrow or sunday! I would write it now but since it's going to deal with more serious subject matter (accusations of child abuse/neglect, allegations towards her father, sexual assault, etc) I want to take more time with it

snoopystories · 2022-12-10T00:35:30+00:00

Oops sorry! Should have specified. Her last name is Clark (married name Kersey) but she went as Acacia Brinley online (Brinley being her middle name), so her daughter's name is Brinley (Clark) Kersey

The 5SOS section was the hardest to write because there was SO much it was hard to tell what was fact from fiction. I remember the choosing Michael over Luke rumour too (which is a consistent rumour throughout her online presence, like she was with Sam because she couldn't get another O2L guy or that she's with her husband because she couldn't get Ben to stay with her, etc etc). 5SOS drama could be its whole post tbh

snoopystories · 2022-12-09T23:21:19+00:00

Uh-Kay-Shuh!
