Line 55:
* [[Mascot]]: In addition to her association with [[Gamergate]], Vivian is the defacto mascot of the KotakuInAction subreddit, alongside Ethics, the Sea Lion.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: One of the reasons why she really took off.
* [[Moral Guardians]]: Lillian acts like a self appointed version. bothBoth "Uncle /pol/" and Polina assume this role in their own interpretation of this, often to Vivian's apathetic indifference.
* [[One of the Boys]]: How Vivian tends to be depicted, though she doesn't really care either way.
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]: Her default appearance has her frowning, either out of apathy, intense concentration, or annoyance.
Line 61:
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Gilda Mars tends to show signs of this, her obliviousness at times reflecting the disconnect between [[Reddit]]'s users and its mods as well as the ones running the site itself.
* [[Punny Name]]: Vivian James is a play on "Video Games." While Lillian Woods is a play on the term "Literally Who."
* [[Reality Subtext]]: Depending on the artist, the hair clipdec Vivian wears is either the clover associated with [[4chan]] or the infinity logo of [[8chan]]. Which stems from schisms in [[4chan]] over censorship and a subsequent migration of certain anons to [[8chan]].
** 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 [[Race Traitor|treat women and minorities who disagree with the narrative]] as being fake or nonexistent.
* [[The Rival]]: Lillian Woods, reflecting the animosity between pro-GG and anti-GG.
* [[Rule 34]]: She and others aren't exempt from this either.
Line 73 ⟶ 74:
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: The DeepFreeze sisters. With Freya as the cocky, brash and confrontational sibling and Danielle as the more modestly-dressed, intellectual and almost motherly one.
* [[Take That]]: In addition to Vivian's [[Gamergate]] associations making her one to anti-GG, she's also one big [[Take That]] to both the media and social justice warriors.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: She tends to do this as well.
* [[Tsundere]]: She has some shades of this, compared to her father /v/.
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Vivian and Lillian on a really good day. Occasionally applies to both "crazyCrazy uncleUncle /pol/" and Erika Polina as well.
* [[Unkempt Beauty]]: How Vivian is sometimes portrayed, meant to emphasise how beautiful she in spite of her appearance.
