      I mean, its genuinely sad to see someone so horrifyingly alienated from her father. I hope she’s got other people in her life who can present positive male models of behavior. It would absolutely suck shit to be Elon Musk’s child and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

      Vivian had the good fortune to have a cool mom and an extended family/friend network who supported her. Idk how many of Musk’s other kids will be that lucky. Certainly Ashley St. Clair’s kid is fucked. That child is going to be sheep-dipped in fascism from day one.

      The apple can fall pretty far from the tree when the tree spends all its time bouncing across the country between corporate orgies and fascist TED Talks.

      Vivian was fortunate enough to have a good, cool mom who raised her to have a sense of self-determination and independence. I doubt Grimes or Ashley St. Clair’s kids will be so lucky.

        hate that expression, because the point of edible fruits of for animals to eat then and spread the seeds far from the tree.

        like in this case.

    Kinda sad that she is often mentioned in relation to that one guy. I don’t know lots about her but she seems rather cool from the one interview I watched.

    I guess the connection (or lack thereof) is unfortunately needed to get anyone to care, as otherwise it’d be just some random person (and there are plenty of those around).

    On the other hand, she do just be someone, like many other someones. She just happens to be linkeable to that one guy, which brings her some more visibility than someone else who might be similar though unique in their own way but with no such connection that’d attract attention

      It sucks to be always “just” the cunt’s daughter,but on the other hand it’s nice to see a reminder that a flower can grow on a pile of shit.

      I suspect if she wasn’t related to him she’d likely still be one of the iconic trans shitposters. Like, girl has a fucking gift at that. Most people wouldn’t know her name, but the sort of people who know Stacy Cay probably would.

        Well, gotta count me in the group that would not know her, seeing as I neither know Stacy Cay nor Vivian’s shitposting. Just saw one interview I stumbled upon on a random “I’m kinda bored” YouTube search (and maybe some mentions like the one in the post, which bring up her connection (or lack thereof) to some guy)

      I’m very happy that she is starting to embrace media attention. Every time I see her mentioned it makes me a little happier.

      Yeah, the whole reference to another person is quite terrible. However in this case, it’s warranted. Ol’ Musky Boy hates the fact that he has a trans daughter. It’s like sticking a knfe in Ol’ Musky Boy and twisting it.

        Eh, idk if some guy hating their trans daughter makes it worth basing most mentions of her around said guy. I mean, obviously how she feels should be taken into account. I am not one to speak for her. But I wouldn’t do evil onto someone to do evil onto someone else. Not sure I vibe with “it’s quite terrible, but justified cuz it hurts someone else” (even if said someone is bad). Especially when it involves doing evil to someone distancing themselves from the other person in some way. Maybe it’d be different if they were complicit
