Vivian James was an early mascot of the GamerGate drama when it started on 4chan, and later become a board avatar after Anon's exodus to 8chan.
Bio[edit | edit source]
Back in 2014, when the shitshow first started, some early GG Anons on 4chan caught wind of a self described feminist game development project and its kickstarter. Whereas Anons normally could not have given less of a fuck about it, said project ('The Fine Young Capitalists') claimed to have been sabotaged by a certain Zoey Quinn. So, for the perhaps first time in his life, Anon donned a white suit of armor.
After having coughed up some 5000 bucks for the project, Anon realized he could honor the lengthy Kickstarter tradition by forcibly shoving a shitty OC DONUT STEEL character into the game. Some drawfags started butting heads together, and soon, Vivian James entered the world as a red-headed girl in plain, baggy clothes - an intentional foil to the stereotypical hip and trendy 'gamer girl'.
Vivian rose from the mascot of a single thread to a site mascot during the exodus to 8chan. She also came to spend more time with her old man, who gave her plenty of tough love, plenty of tougher games, and taught her to abhorr both casualshit and whiny casual players with a passion. Though (not yet?) as jaded and misanthropic as her dad, she definitely is the more snarky one.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Season 2[edit | edit source]
Vivian was first introduced as the manager of her friend/butt monkey Erin Stout during the porn-themed 8chanmania LXIII. Her not bothering to inform Erin about the mania's peculiar theme may or may not have played a role in Erin tapping out during her very first match.
Season 3[edit | edit source]
Vivian (dressed up as Risky Boots) once more led Erin (dressed up as Shantae) into the ring for the Halloween-themed 8chanmania LXVII. Their merry quest of trick-or-treating saw them defeating both King Ramses and Game Over Grunty before Erin got bodied by Nemesis.
Vivian finally switched clients for 8chanmania LXVII; now serving as manager to a /b/rotha and Punished /v/ for the last tag-team event. Her new charges easily defeated Kurt Wylde and Captain Falcon R (after Vivian verbally murdered Wylde beforehand), but got spooked by the Greater Goods of Hex Maniac and Big Tiddy Tau.
