Channel Awesome by @Sexy Times Hitler
Before joining CA, Kaylyn started producing videos under the Marzgurl name in mid-2004. She had used the name before, including the Angelfire/Matrix nightmare that was The Real High School Life (archive), where she documented the going-ons at her school, Smithson Valley High School. A failed attempt at finding a replacement "editor" for the site lead to her penchant for the dramatic to show in the most early-00s teen way possible:

The follow-up blog: The Real College Life remains mired in development hell.
While at San Antonio College, she became a newly minted weeb, which not only further proved the failures of higher education, but also lead to her teaming up with Shaun Chiaffa in order to make videos documenting the anime con scene, which are still available on her YouTube channel in all of their cruddy mid-00s glory:
Around early 2006, Chiaffia split with Kaylyn, leaving the latter to continue producing Marzgurl videos alone.
In 2008, Doug Walker, sowing the seeds for what would eventually become Channel Awesome, announced a contest to find the "Nostalgia Chick". Kaylyn submitted her entry on The Last Unicorn and subsequently making it into the Top Five.
The final three were narrowed to Kaylyn, Krissy "That Chick With the Goggles" Diggs, and Lindsay Ellis, who would eventually win the position. Kaylyn and Krissy were allowed to produce videos for the site under their own names, inadvertedly making this one of the most cancerous "Everyone's a winner!" decisions in internet history.
She produced a variety of shows for CA, such as the abandoned after three episodes What's That Anime?, her next main series Marzgurl Presents, the news/opinion-focused Anime News Editorial, Marzgurl Sings! (Poorly!) and a podcast centering on media in general entitled Beyond the Black Rims with co-host and husband, Josh Saucedo, which started out as YouTube-exclusive before being hosted on CA in 2015, continuing to this day.
Kaylyn was a generally respected producer during this time, appearing in all of the odes to cinematic auto-fellatio known as the Anniversary Movies and frequently collaborating with other producers such as Lewis "Linkara" Lovhaug, Jonathan "ChaosD1" Burkhardt and most controversally, Justin "JewWario" Carmical.
Change The Channel by @Odie Esty
Marzgurl was one of the original creators of the change the channel doc along with Lupa, linkara, and Holly but it def appears like she was more involved then them. She takes up 7 pages of the doc while the others don't cross 5, save lupa who was involved in more drama and had screenshots in her section. She also wrote the forward for her doc. Despite that, nothing particularly damning comes up in her testimony. Most of it is based around mike michaud being shitty to her, which is definitely worth bringing up, but a lot of it is also about honest mistakes. at one point marzgurl brings up how she wasn't in one group shot of a movie, but then was in another and felt bad about not being in the first. her section is filled with things like this which just seem irrelevant.
Marzgurl mentions she had wanted to leave CA for a while but had an agent who scheduled her con appearances and said it wouldn't be a good move until she had at least 10k subs. 10k is a pittance in modern youtube and you can't reliably make minimum wage below 100k. Marzgurl says she adjusted this to instead leave on her tenth anniversary but a glance at her social blade makes it clear she didn't have much of a choice, she had just barely crossed 10k when the change the channel doc went live. as of now she sits at 17k but social blade shows she acquired 7 thousand of those subs from her video released about the doc in the first place. At one point in the doc she mentions doug didn't tell anyone he was ending the nostalgia critic until they read it in the script of To Boldly Flee and recounts how worried she was. Marzgurl was eating from doug's plate for years and was wholly unable to turn it into anything noteworthy of her own.
Marzgurl's video talking about Jewwario is her most popular by a long shot, with 162,000 views. the closest vid to it is basically a vine from 7 years ago and her nostalgia chick video from ten years ago, neither of which crossed 100k. Her patreon manages to make less than spoony who hasn't made a video in years, and has no goals or rewards. Like most of the CA crew she subsisted entirely on doug's fame and was never able to make anything of her own. Say what you will about Doug, the man is at least popular on his own merits. like most celebrities Marzgurl is self centered and fame hungry, but unlike most celebrities no one really gives a shit. except for us, which is maybe the worst part.
JewWario (Justin Carmical)
Justin Carmical (April 11, 1971 − January 23, 2014 [Aged 42]), better known online as JewWario, was a YouTuber who uploaded gaming videos
On January 23, 2014, he committed suicide. He locked himself into the bathroom and shot himself while his wife was talking to him from the other side of the door.

As a fellow TGWTG contributor, Kaylyn and Justin became friends and would even appear together on Channel Awesome collaborations:
When Justin died, Kaylyn felt she needed to honor him by finishing one of his pet projects. This would be a final farewell and tribute to her late friend.
Farewell, FamiKamen Rider
DISCLAIMER: in April of 2018, the world learned that Justin Carmical had sadly been a sexual predator during his life. While the video remains up for histori...
youtube.com
Then the unexpected happened and it was revealed that Justin was a rapist and that Channel Awesome was covering up the allegations.
On April 2, 2018, many former 'TGWTG' and 'Channel Awesome' producers contributed to a detailed document titled "Not So Awesome", where they detail their abuse as well as neglect, misconduct, and manipulation at the hands of CEO Mike Michaud, Doug Walker, and Rob Walker, including the poor management and favoritism of the site.
One contributor, referring to herself as "Jane Doe", disclosed that she had been groomed and sexually abused by a TGWTG producer while not disclosing the name of the person. On April 11, 2018, Channel Awesome released a statement titled "Our Response" in which they respond to several of the former producer's grievances with Jane Doe being the first. In their response to her, screencaps of chatlogs are shown in which they discuss how to deal with the problem producer in question. Despite redacting the producer's name, in the second screencap cap, it's shown that the chat had taken place on February 12, 2013, a Tuesday. It's shown that the producer would be terminated from TGWTG on Friday, February 15, 2013, the day in which Justin Carmical reportedly left the site and inadvertently revealing Carmical to be the alleged sexual deviant.
On April 11, 2018, it was revealed that he was terminated by Channel Awesome over sexual misconduct accusations, which has tarnished his reputation.
On April 12, 2018, a Reddit user revealed that she had allegedly been raped by Carmical in her sleep after making several attempts to convince him to leave her alone. The alleged legitimacy of the post has since been confirmed by former TGWTG forum admin Holly Christine Brown and former TGWTG producer Jacob Chapman (JesuOtaku).

#KickVic
Most believe that JewWario broke MarzGurl and that this was her chance at a redemption arc. She would start with Vic Mignogna and help clean up the rest of the american anime voice acting community.
She created the # "KickVic":

You can find most of her posts regarding #KickVic and Vic Mignogna in the Main WeebWars thread.
All of Kaylyn's spergery earned her a Demand for Preservation of Digital Stored Information (Basically a do not delete shit order) from Vic Mignogna's legal team at BHBH:

All this means is that she is a possible future target for a lawsuit or deposition.
Money Issues
Kaylyn is pretty well known as a shameless E-beggar, from oil changes to imaginary lawsuits MarzGurl sets a new standard in E-Begging. Her masterpiece was crowdfunding her wedding:

Just as the KickVic stuff was starting to ramp up, Kaylyn's kitty (Siren) got sick. Tried as hard as she could, she couldn't get enough funding:

Siren died soon after.
But don't worry, her spirit still lives on... on Twitter:MarzGurl vs Yellow Flash
Yellow Flash is a IStandWithVic/Comicsgate Youtuber that likes to make live-streams on the weirdos of said movements, typically titling them as "Let's Monetize (X)", which he later deletes. He made a few streams featuring our very own OrangutanArmz, turns out she doesn't like people making fun of her.
Kaylyn, on a Facebook Private group chat, asked for her "closest friends" to DOXXXXXX YellowFlash was. One of the funniest parts is that she claims to have gone to Police and FBI over people making fun of her ON THE INTERNET and even wants to go to congress over it.
Another funny part is that she mistook YF's twitter location of "616", the Marvel Comics main universe, as an area code. She plans to sue for defamation but can't be arsed to compile the "evidence" herself and instead asks for her private group to do it.
Her free consultation lawyer said he would contact YouTube and Twitter to deplatform YF and recommended she counter his "miss-information" with her information:
There it is, there's the Kaylyn we know. "Money is always an issue" for good 'ol Marzgurl:
Some people were skeptic about the authenticity of the leak, we can thank Marzgurl for confirming it validity;
She later started a GoFundMe for "Legal Fees". She needed $1.5K to retain a lawyer to begin the process of a defamation suit:

TFW your 'Sue a Sperg' GFM gets overfunded but your 'Save my Kitty' GFM didn't even get 50% of it's goal:
