Marina Joyce is a 19-year-old YouTube star from north London who was well-known online for her fashion vlogs. In the past day, the hashtag #SaveMarinaJoyce has been trending all over the world, as social media users have come to the conclusion that she is facing some kind of danger.

The panic appears to have been largely sparked by a video she posted on 22 July, entitled "Date Outfit Ideas".

A number of viewers raised concerns about the video, many of which were expressed in this blog. Among other fears, they said that they could faintly hear her saying "help me" 13 seconds in, that there were bruises on her arms, that she was reading from a script, and that she could be seen looking with fear at someone behind the camera.

The next day, #SaveMarinaJoyce began to trend around the world. The hashtag contained numerous assertions about her mental health, her domestic situation, and many more outlandish assertions.
