Vivian James: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

* [[The Cameo]]: [[Hulk Hogan]] has gotten a few cameos in Vivian comics as his [[Real Life]] legal battle with Gawker intersected with [[Gamergate]]'s contempt of Gawker and its videogaming vertical Kotaku.

** Other /pol/-aligned [[Anthropomorphic Personifications]] such as [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/christ-chan Christ-chan]<ref>A personification of Christianity and evangelicalism, not too unlike the medieval Ecclesia.</ref> and [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/ebola-chan Ebola-chan]<ref>[[Exactly What it Says on the Tin]].</ref> are known to show up, usually whenever /pol/ himself or Erika Polina is in the picture.

** Vivian herself has popped up in [https://twitter.com/FLEETCOMM/media promotional art] for the ~~upcoming~~ indie game ''FLEETCOMM'', donning [[Bling of War]].

** Not Vivian per se, but her outfit does pop up [http://imgur.com/yfmADmy in an episode] of the anime ''Radukai Kishi no Cavalry.''

* [[Character Derailment]]: Anti-GG portrayals of Vivian have a tendency to do this in various ways, be it reducing her into a [[Straw Character]] or making her a megaphone to mock those supporting GG.

Line 50:

* [[Everyone Has Standards]]: Not even Lillian can stand Gawker.

* [[Fan Nickname]]:

** The [[8chan]] version of /v/ tends to be called "Punished /v/" as a nod to ''[[Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain]]'', complete with mechanical arm and eyepatch.

** The [[8chan]] version of /v/ tends to be called "Punished /v/" or "/v/enom Snake" as a nod to ''[[Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain]]'', complete with mechanical arm and eyepatch.

** Erika Polina originally was just called Polina before she got her actual name, in reference to /pol/.

* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Vivian's personality has strong shades of this.

Line 63:

* [[Hidden Depths]]:

** Vivian's usually shown to be rather knowledgeable, despite seemingly disinterested at times on anything not related to playing video games.

** Gilda Mars, despite her ditziness and [[The Pollyanna|Pollyanna tendencies]], isn't afraid to speak her mind or use her upvote/downvote judgements when push comes to shove.

** Gilda Mars, despite her ditziness and [[The Pollyanna|Pollyanna tendencies]], isn't afraid to speak her mind or use her upvote/downvote judgements when push comes to shove.<ref>In reference to Reddit's upvote/downvoting system.</ref>

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Some like to point out in jest how [http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1088856-vivian-james not even] ''[[The Wizard]]'' was spared from Vivian's influence. Though this also partially serves as a [[Take That]] to attempts by some to blame certain historical events on [[Gamergate]].

* [[Hot Librarian]]: Danielle Frost gives this impression, given her much more modest outfit and intellectual mindset compared to her sister Freya.

Line 95:

** Gilda Mars' personality and obliviousness is itself a reference to the tenuous and tense state of [[Reddit]].

** The sockpuppet Vivian mockingly wears at times is a reference to anti-GG's [[Unfortunate Implications|dismissive if not censorous]] tendency to [[Category Traitor|treat women and minorities who disagree with the narrative]] as being fake or nonexistent.

** "Punished /v/'s" appearance is not only a direct reference to ''[[Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain]]'' but also a nod to 8chan's /v/ board being founded by anons from 4chan's equivalent.

* [[The Rival]]: Lillian Woods, reflecting the animosity between pro-GG and anti-GG.

* [[Rule 34]]: She and others aren't exempt from this either.
