Sorry conservatives, Vivian Wilson has zero fucks left to give.
The model and social media personality recently sat down for a 20 minute chat with Sasha Colby, courtesy of Teen Vogue. They discussed everything from their love of drag to role models to online friendships, but one thing in particular that Colby wanted to ask about was that sense of fearlessness Wilson has been emitting ever since she slid onto the scene.
"I've been like up for fodder for the right wing and it gets a little scary," Colby said. "You're like just so resilient with it. Like, you just go for it, you welcome it. What is that drive? Where is that from?"
"Well, drive of not giving a fuck," she replied. "First of all, if conservatives are talking about me, they're making money off of my name. So they are thanking me behind the screen. You're welcome. Second of all, if they're talking about me, then they are free to talk about me, but I don't have to listen."

It's a great outlook, and one Colby was quick to praise, joking that Wilson just saved her ten years of therapy.
As for how she reached that point of no fucks given? Well, for that, she largely credits drag, admitting that she was "basically this like, anxious fem boy" in high school. But watching drag and, eventually, participating in drag helped her find the confidence she needed.
It's a common story among drag performers, but one that never grows old. And the same way Wilson says she found inspiration from Colby and other performers who came before her, her own story of finding confidence in drag is likely to inspire others — no matter how much the haters try to bring her down.
"Not giving a fucking is not that hard after you've kind of been dragged across the coals," she noted. "After you get dragged across like burning coals, being dragged across normal coals, it's a massage."
