If you're been on Twitter recently, you may have noticed the world wide trending hashtag #savemarinajoyce. For those who don't know who Marina Joyce is, she is a British YouTuber who makes videos on fashion, makeup, tips, tags, self confidence videos, etc. Her YouTube name is MarinaJoyce. Marina was originally a YouNow streamer. YouNow is a live broadcasting platform where someone could make a live video and stream out to hundreds of people at a time. Marina Joyce then saw the positive responses of her YouNow fanbase and took their advice to make YouTube videos.
Marina Joyce has been on YouTube since August 25, 2015. While she is a very unique character, many have noted that her more recent videos yet still unique, are more confusing if anything. In her most recent videos, fans have realized that she seems scared and unhappy. The hashtag started up on Twitter after her video Date Outfit Ideas. In the video, Marina Joyce acts as if she is being directed what to do and say. Many of her followers dug a little deeper and pointed out different things in the video that were a little unusual.
While everyone could see that she was definitely not comfortable in some parts of the videos, many people thought the worst. Different theories were all over Twitter and in the comments section of her video. While that was happening, Marina Joyce also Tweeted an unusual Tweet which led to theories about her being kidnapped by ISIS.
Many other YouTubers tweeted that fans should not go to the meet-up because of how suspicious the time of the meet-up was. Also, with the rumors of her being kidnapped by ISIS floating around, going to a meet-up at 6:30 a.m. was only adding "proof" to the rumor.
One YouTuber who knows her, Luke Cutforth, known on YouTube as LukeIsNotSexy noted in a recent video that he started noticing something was off with Marina Joyce in a video made almost a whole year ago called How To Be A Bestfriend. In his video, he talks about how he asked a mutual friend of theirs to ask if she was OK and if everything was alright. He mentions that she is not held captive by ISIS and that it is most likely her parents helping her make her videos and not someone else. He also mentions that she is going through a tough time in her personal life but she is getting the help that she needs, yet it is not his place to tell anyone what is going on.
Marina eventually took to YouNow to talk to her fans, telling them that she is not in any harm and that the situation is being blown out of proportion. She also thanked her fanbase for getting her to 1M subscribers on YouTube. While many people are angry at Marina Joyce now, thinking that this was all a publicity stunt, many are still very worried about her. While there are still rumors going around, for example due to the two blue lines on her face, that she is kidnapped or that there is a domestic violence issue. Or the idea that she is schizophrenic and having a tough time.
While she is saying she is fine, she is still favoriting tweets that ask if she needs help, and tweets about ISIS, no one besides those close to her know what is really happening.
