Vivian James and the Manosphere #2

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

This strip is particularly based on Heartiste, and his Twitter is probably the best place to pick up what this is about.

Pretty lies - The motto of Chateau Heartiste is "where pretty lies perish".
Social conditioning - Concept in PUA, meaning roughly 'what society brings you up to believe'. Pretty lies that are hard to shake.
Beta - Refering to 'beta male', contrasting with 'alpha male', meaning a social follower rather than leader (or someone who doesn't participate).
Tolerance for obesity - ROK had a Fat Shaming Week. 'Nuff said.
Nihilism - The red pill and especially the PUA-oriented side of the manosphere can, for various reasons, tend towards nihilism.
Racism - Heartiste and other redpill writers believe in evolutionary psychology, and so believes that there are biological differences between the sexes, and, it seems, the races.
