Ah, yeah. Saw that unfold on Tumblr, too. Yeah, it's definitely off-putting he'd call her that out of the blue, but if you know Brandon, his entire shtick is just being provocative and offensive (but can't be too offending nowadays), and people ran with it for years, so there's this mixed bag of people saying it's a joke and to not take it seriously and others going "no way he's really calling her that because how dare she get upset that her father's neglecting her for an imp he's only known once in his life and didn't meet with him again for another 25 years".
For me, personally, I just think he's joking around and not being that serious, but on the other hand, this is a character who, again, has been neglected by her father because he can't stop slobbering over imp penis every day, and has no other redeeming qualities other than "character who gets in the way of stoliz", so I feel it's a real slap in the face of her character and what she's been forced to go through.
Either way, it's not something career-ending or whatever. It'll get swept under the rug and people will stop caring after a few weeks or until some other drama happens and people use that incident to fuel the flame.
Also saw this image related to her and I thought it was funny.
Please, Viv, let Octavia rip Blitzo or Stolas a new one.
Especially, Stolas.
