I was confused because I thought violentacrez was some how related to the now-defunct mommy-blogger-hating blog http://www.violentacres.com/

Just a coincidence, I guess.

And that just goes to show you the danger of writing anonymously on the Internet, the next person to use the same nickname as you might be a drama-causing pedo.

Does anyone know if there's some source for "violent acres / violet acres" that they're both riffing off of?

That was the start. One really weird thing at the beginning was that reddit loved the story (probably made up) of violentacres purposefully causing a car crash, but in other threads with different contexts, they would consider people purposefully causing a car crash as completely bad, no other information required.

Violentacrez original reddit name was violentacres and was based off of the original one (the person you linked).
