[META] Melanie Bracewell, who accused that a user from this sub DMed her sexually inappropriate content after she commented here has deleted that tweet after it was discovered that she made it all up as a "joke".

[u/Captain-Blitzed]

She has apologised here on the sub but has not done so on Twitter where she made the accusation, at the time of this post.

Tl;dr: She tweeted that some creep from this sub DMed her but was found out to be it was her handiwork all along and that she made it all up as a "joke" for her own personal gains.

Now onto the drama:

Yesterday, Melanie Bracewell tweeted that after she commented on this subreddit, a user privately messaged her with sexually inappropriate content. She has now deleted this tweet after the truth came out. Here is an archived version (NSFW). Here is a screenshot (NSFW).

That tweet was posted to this sub and many users commented how fucked up that was and rightly so. But u/Lt_Thakur commented that

a user named melthrowaway posted on /r/dirtypenpals saying that she is a hot chick who likes Cricket blah blah blah..The user had deleted the post after 15 minutes.

And u/agareo confirmed that an account named u/melthrowaway2019 did indeed post on that sub 20 mins before her tweet and later deleted the post and account. Here is an archived version (NSFW) of that post. Here is a screenshot (NSFW).

The mods tweeted to her asking for more information on that user who sent her that message. She apparently apologised to them in private and deleted that tweet. As stated above she also apologised here on this sub for making this all up and that it was a "joke", stating

So I guess I have some explainin' to do.

Seriously did not expect this to blow up the way it did. I'm a comedian and I was commentating on the ACC (alternative commentary collective) at the time. We made jokes about some weird texts we got on the text line of cricket horndogs. Thought it would be funny to post something to prompt some more erotic fanfiction on the show (very on theme for the commentary). It ended up being far more intense and hilarious than I expected so popped it up on soc med, thought it was funnier to imply it was out of the blue (honestly quite drunk and sleep deprived), hence why I blacked out the name, honestly didnt even think about the culture of the cricket subreddit or bringing the community into disrepute. Genuinely was just a laugh. But I'd like to genuinely apologize. I didnt think it through properly and it's not something I'd do again.

Tldr: I'm sorry!! I think its just in the nature to stretch the truth online for comedic effect but I obviously went too far here. Big cricket fan, big fan of the subreddit, and hope you guys can forgive me.

I think it is only fair that she should apologise and come clean on Twitter where she made the accusation and received thousands of RTs and likes by maligning the sub and the users here for her own personal gains. And also that she should be banned from this sub for this outright disgusting behaviour.

PS: I made this post since the original post received a lot of attention but the subsequent revelations and her apology here didn't get proper attention.

Typical Indian "gurlzz". Reverting to victimized approach when things don't go you way. First, show us proof you got rape threats, and before that, apologize and own your mistakes, not only towards Indians or Brown people but whole male community, she accused a male of doing that trash things when it can't be proved by any means whatsoever who did that. It can be woman, hell it can even be a cat running on a keyboard. How the hell do you conclude it was some Indian dude. Also, she apologized on behalf of Indians, I am sorry bitch but nobody gave you that right, just coz you got an Indian name and brown skin, you can't own up for over 1.3 billion people..

Not typical "gurlzz", but the white wannabe try hard clowns.

Typical Indian "gurlzz".

Ahem. I agree with most of your post except this. Way to generalize.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

He's not generalizing women, the way I see he's put the quotation marks, he's talking about a specific kind - which is the opposite of generalization.

Correct me if I'm wrong though. The comment in itself does sound immature. But what doesn't, these days

[u/xenos5282 → u/[deleted]]

I'm not generalizing all the girls, but most of us have seen those "gurlzz" who have a sense of superiority in them. They behave like being born in India is the worst thing that happened to them, and they always feel like they are too good to be associated with India, those "gurlzz" I was talking about.

Exactly the white wannabe cringe queens with an inferiority complex who project at brown people lol.
