Vivian James and the Manosphere #1

Description

GamerGate and the manosphere are united by their dislike of SJWs. Roosh V, founder of Return Of Kings (leading manosphere site), even took up the GamerGate cause and created Reaxxion (a site designed for non-SJW, non-corrupt gaming journalism).

So I wondered what Vivian James – GamerGate's child and mascot – would make of the manosphere.

I designed the male character to be loosely based off an amalgamation of Heartiste, Return Of Kings, and the manosphere in general (focusing more on the redpill and game/PUA ends of the manosphere).

Explaining the joke / references

There are several layers here. The main joke is teasing the PUA-manosphere for constantly talking about how bad women are, but then spending all this time going after them. (Meanwhile, Vivian James, while sharing some of the criticism, doesn't devote her life to it.)

Her anti-SJW has been exaggerated somewhat to anti-feminist; and, as with a lot of isolated geeky girls who live on the internet, she has partly picked up some of these cynical attitudes about women (see the anime Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui! for an example).
