Line 12:
Generally depicted as a red-haired, freckled female gamer wearing jeans and a striped sweater, Vivian at first glance seems like an unlikely figure to attract so much attention ([[Flame War|for good or ill]]). Still, she's seen as many things. Most notably, a symbol of [[Gamergate]]. But she's also an embodiment of both [[4chan]] and [[8chan]]'s /v/ boards. A representative of modern gamers - and gaming at large - as they are, rather than what certain elements wish them to be. A legitimate gamer girl who's not afraid to be who she is or fight for what she believes in, be it ethics in games journalism or video games in general.
In addition to Vivian's originally intended game, she has appeared in various image albums, fan/webcomics<ref>Most notably, ''[http://kukuruyo.com/comic/gamergate-life-1/ Gamergate Life]'' by Spanish artist Kukuruyo.</ref> and even cosplay. [https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/4c1num/misc_an_introduction_to_vivian_james_her_family/ Over time], she's also been accompanied by [[Loads and Loads of Characters|a growing, colorful cast of characters]]. And is slated to be a major character in an upcoming{{when}} game called ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20160402035603/http://anomalousgames.tumblr.com/ Project SOCJUS]'' and a playable character in a [[Game Mod]]-in-progress for ''[[X-COM (Video Game)|XCOM 2]]''.<ref>Dragonpunk, the mod in question, [http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2016/02/xcom-2-dragonpunk-mod-teases-vivian-james-theme-song/ is still slated for a 2018 release].{{Verify|reason=2018 was last decade.}}</ref>
