Greater minds than mine have commented already, though I will note that, for someone so creationist and anti-evolutionist (I suspect he has a personal stake in the latter) Day is surprisingly quick to wheel out Neanderthals as proof of his racist (and scientifically selective) theories. As ever, science is but a Chinese buffet to libertarians.
(Except, as the Waffenwonder says here, not a jot of his bile was racist. Vox Day tip: if you say something racist but don't SAY it's racist the PC brigade can't touch you. Not a bloody leg to stand on, mate. Go on; try it in your daily life!)
Oops, but I digress...
All this hideousness provoked me into ad hoc research (ie: cyber-stalking). I noticed Vox Day has a wife he refers to as--not Brunhilda, surprisingly--but 'Spacebunny'. Spacebunny. Yup.
Wanna see a picture?
Oh, don't look at me like that. Day posted this picture on his own blog in a noble attempt to prove his wife was more of a 'hottie' than some other fantasy writer's (rumor has it if you've the hottest wife of all they hand you a Nebula award).
To recap, Spacebunny is married to this:
Intrigued, I typed Vox Day and Spacebunny into Google images, in the hope of finding a photo of them together so I might produce a set of commemorative plates in the style of HRH Charles and Diana. No such photo emerged. So I tried 'Vox Day wife'. Same again.
Then I noted another odd thing: both times the same old photo of Spacebunny emerged. In fact it appeared to be the only photo of the woman. A professionally-taken modelling photo apparently. Hmm...
She has a life outside Vox Day (as do we all, thank Baal's balls). Check her (locked, 50- followers) Twitter account:
Note her photo.
And a Pinterest account with absolutely no personal or personally-taken photos, exceppppt:
She sometimes emerges from her star-warren to have a go at people too. See this meme someone made about her antics:
It suggests an almost identical argumentative style as Vox Day's. And... what's this? Whoever made it used THAT photo. Like they even had a choice...
(At this juncture, one might also ask how someone so clearly camera-cozy appears on no other photo with a name to it?)
 |
| Just to be thorough, I then acquired Day's address, caught a Delta Airways flight and negotiated with his front door. Still no evidence. No one was home, not even in the safe behind his signed and framed Charles And Eddie tour poster. |
Faster than one can say 'elaborate sock-puppet', I'll bet you're ahead of me on this.
"But," I hear you cry (actually, I don't hear you; it's just a cliched figure of speech) "why would Vox Day lie about having a classically attractive significant other? Why go to such lengths? And how can you possibly hear me, sat as I am by my computer on a whole other continent?"
Well, I'm not saying that. Not even slightly, not even in the face of the fact Vox Day has a reputation for manufacturing sock puppets and fake reviews.
But... hypothetically... why might he?
As well as his stodgy fantasy novels and by-the-numbers critiques of atheism, Mr Day has leaped on the 'game' cashcow-cum-bandwagon: a burgeoning and lucrative business where some superficially charismatic, rohypnol-rattling 'dude' teaches us lesser men how to 'man up' and 'score perfect-ten chicks'
But--again, hypothetically--what if an 'alpha dude' had no 'perfect-ten chick'? Why, that'd be humiliating! But would he just stare into the mirror and consider oblivion? Heck no! He's the alpha-dude! He'd either go out and 'score' a dazzler or--and, boy, this is an uncharitable thought--construct a false inamorata with her own Twitter account and everything. Oh, and give her a name like 'Spacebunny' because a proper name might be checked.
Anyhoo...
Before Vox Day's minions (real and sockpuppety) pop up in here to burn me alive in a wicker model of their leader's phallus, I should add this post is no less spurious, cherry-picked and unscientific as anything on Vox Day's blog. Bullshit, it's technically called. But if Vox Day can say NK Jemesin isn't fully human, then I can say Vox Day's wife doesn't even fucking exist.

"...then I can say Vox Day's wife doesn't even fucking exist."
ReplyDeleteSo what if you say it? Is that supposed to stick it to him, or bother people who read his blog? You realize that would only work if it were true, or if many of his readers hadn't seen precisely the sort of "evidence" you ask for, yes? Otherwise...
But--again, hypothetically--what if an 'alpha dude' had no 'perfect-ten chick'? Why, that'd be humiliating!
If that's humiliating, what would it be for some resentful dweeb to dedicate a post to an impotent, passive-aggressive attempt at wish-fulfillment that some dude's attractive wife doesn't exist because he doesn't like what he says?
Hello, Vox.

ReplyDeleteIt's a tough call. It's almost as amusing to consider he has a wife who refuses to be seen with him in public.
ReplyDeleteIf she does, she's like the rest of the state he lives in probably.
DeleteHe's made enough enough money so that he can afford to live in Italy. Beautiful weather, wonderful food, a brilliant culture. You'll have to try much harder to ruin his day.
DeleteHa! All that anger about America falling to the Latinos and Liberals and he's not even living there.
DeleteThat's poetry that is. Speaks volumes.
A more convincing rhetorical tack would be for you to claim that Italy doesn't really exist. You know, like your writing ability.
DeleteOh, they both exist alright, it's just that their institutions are corrupt.
DeleteSomebody should follow Spacebunny... for SCIENCE! See what she actually tweeted.
ReplyDeleteGod knows me and half the SFWA have tried. She's got landmines and machine gun posts all around her Twitter account.
DeleteProbably 161,000 characters of "blah"
DeleteGod knows me and half the SFWA have tried.
DeleteWhich half was that? The half that knows how to use pronouns correctly?
Nope; the half who live inside the posters on your walls, who slither out at midnight. Who, no doubt one day, will take you back to their necrotic syph-world, into their canyon of oubliettes where you shall wither, a pale servant to his great lord Teddy Ratsbones, fridge-faced god of barnyard sessions.
DeleteStill, you're right about the pronouns. Good call.
Canyons of oubliettes? Is that where they keep the seeping gnomes that you mentioned on Twitter? Clarion owes you a refund, dude, 'cause you sure as hell didn't get your money's worth.
DeleteYou'll always be my favorite gnome seepage, Kudzu.
DeleteA few points. First, he never said Jenison wasnt fully human. Second, its a bit odd to use the adjective "fucking" when referring to the non-existence of a thing as the verb fucking refers to the creation of such things.
ReplyDeleteThird, you dont need to give a reason why you can or cannot make any sort of comparison. You have every right to say whatever pops into your mind regardless of how intelligent or idiotic the statement is, this is after all your blog.
Cheers!
Maybe, maybe. It's just when he called Jemisin a 'half-savage' and that a fairly unimportant set of skin-determining genes she possesses precludes her and everyone like her from doing unrelated abstract tasks like building a complex society... I dunno, maybe I'm out of line but I just got that VIBE, you know?
Deletea fairly unimportant set of skin-determining genes she possesses precludes her and everyone like her from doing unrelated abstract tasks like building a complex society
DeleteI'm curious to see what argument you have against this. It's demonstrably true that there are no modern, developed African countries. Even progressivism is a movement developed and run by white leaders and white intellectuals. Jemisin is an anomaly, a token black author who is now being defended by mostly middle class educated whites such as yourself. It's highly unlikely that black people would have come up with these ideas themselves in the last 200 years or so without whites giving them the push.
Again, I'm really curious to see how you can marshal any evidence against this statement.
The vibe I'm getting from you is that of a little man who's desperately eager to seem important in the eyes of others by assuming a stance of moral superiority. It's not working. If you want to look big, try elevator shoes.
DeleteOK, as I understand you're viewpoint, you hold that race is significant within humanity and that different races have differing levels of quality; social, intellectual etc. Whites (ie: northern Europeans) are on top of this scale. OK...
DeleteWell, it's a hypothesis that doesn't fit the events. Surely, being the superior race, whites would have had their own equivalent of the fertile crescent, their own dawn of civilization, their own Babylon 6000 years ago (Or even earlier? Why heavens not? We're dealing with the supreme people here)?
Odd to think, isn't it? The Ubermensch slacking around like that. In fact, if we're talking northern Europeans, they generally carry on this way for a long time, and though they improve socially and technologically, they remained behind the planet's general zeitgeist til arguably as late as the age of trade and sail. And even if you want to extend that to southern Europe (Rome, Greece etc)it's still a late entry into the game compared to the middle east and China.
The history-as-race idea is a superficial, incorrect explanation, one bereft of any elegance.
Here's my own crackpot explanation, one shared, as last I understand it,with possibly the majority of historians. In a word: resources.
The Middle East, Indus river valley and China had a suitable climate and landscape for the first cities, so that's where it happened.
Mediterranean cultures had a technological and social surge a lot later due to the prevalence of iron and the emergence of technology to exploit it.
Northern European cultures (after millenia of being at best a 2nd division team)suddenly have a big-go-boom time with the beginning of the age of world trade and, later, the industrial revolution (preponderance of coal, etc).
Now, in the case of Africa, wherever cities could emerge they did (Egypt, Numidia and later Zimbabwe's house of stone and the Benin culture in Nigeria with it's great complex of walls that are technically the largest human construction ever), but the greater part of Africa was never amenable to it, being arid, or desert or rainforest or what have you. In those areas, humans continued being inventive, refining a certain level of tech to excellence, but never going beyond that because anything more could only be a drawback.
Disaster hit Africa when Northern Europe--at the height of its happy hour--smacked straight into it.And these same colonial powers extracting themselves from their former African colonies, left an unstable continent which the later cold war only made worse.
But, now we enter a global society, Africa seems to be (slowly)sorting itself out. There's Ecowas for instance, west Africa's UN. Not to mention the predicted super economy of Nigeria, a nation that's putting up satellites.
So, yeah; resources. Sorry if this was a little long. Bloody nuances!
To be honest, I'm curious to know how you've never encountered that argument, given your wide knowledge of the subject of world history. If you'd had of heard of it (and knew of its general acceptance) you would have countered it in your post before I even had a chance to respond. Weird.
Thanks for dropping by, AJP Taylor!
Yes, the Nigerians are launching British-made satellites on Russian rockets from Russian territory. As impressive as your grasp of history, that.
DeleteGo back to the start and try again. C'mon, you can do this.
DeleteI understand why you're so impressed by the Nigerians, what with all the money they took from you with their 419 scams and all, but try to keep a little perspective, okay?

DeleteIt's demonstrably true that there are no modern, developed African countries.
Well, there were several, at least relatively speaking, up until late last century, but they collapsed into pre-modern, pre-developed countries almost immediately upon... well...
The cognitive blindness is strong in this one...
DeleteNote that I asked you to give examples of modern developed African civilizations. Your environmentalist explanation of why Africa has never developed those (in the modern times at least) doesn't answer that question, in fact, it assumes that you agree with me. You think you are rebutting someone trying to argue for the concept of an inherently superior "white race". But you aren't, and that is merely a strawman.
DeleteWell, it's a hypothesis that doesn't fit the events. Surely, being the superior race, whites would have had their own equivalent of the fertile crescent, their own dawn of civilization, their own Babylon 6000 years ago (Or even earlier? Why heavens not? We're dealing with the supreme people here)?
If you actually read Vox Day's posts properly, you'll notice that he never advocates a concept of a "superior white race". Such a concept is indeed nebulous and possibly incoherent, and that is where I personally agree. In fact, his main argument is that white people were savages and brutes during most of history - think the Gauls and Germanic tribes during the Roman Empire. Western civilization only started to become dominant in the last few centuries, after about a millennium of being in contact with "proper civilization", including Christianity.
In contrast, the peoples of Africa only got into contact with "proper civilization" in the 18th or 19th century. What Vox is arguing is that similar to white culture, which needed 1000 years to change from being savages to being civilized, it is natural that black culture needs about the same amount of time to overcome savagery. And he believes his observations about the crime rates of black people, among other things, to support that hypothesis.
Hence so far you have not really argued anything against Vox Day's views. Your contempt of him is based on mistaken impression of what he believes. I myself am an avid reader of his blog, and while I certainly do not agree with all of his views, I always find them well-thought out, bold, interesting, and logical. No one in this kerfuffle has so far actually raised an argument against his ideas.
Well there we have to disagree. I very much get the impression Vox Day is a white supremacist, but one who --whenever challenged-- ducks behind a very superficial version of history in order to maintain a veneer of respectability.
DeleteHis description of Northern Europe being full of savages that had to learn civilization is a fine example of that. He takes a ginormous, multi-layered millenium-long issue and whittles it down to a soundbite. The south of Britain, for instance, was already Romanized before the Empire even arrived. And post-Roman Britain was a significantly different kettle of fish to, say, The Holy Roman Empire,and both of those were a world away in outlook and technology from the nomadic eastern tribes riding into Europe. To make almost any overarching statement about the entirety of post-Imperial Europe is a vanity at best and we should be suspicious of anyone who does.
I've already said that Africa is a continent afflicted by the colonialism of several (ultimately resource-lucky)industrialized cultures and then latterly caught in the crossfire of the Cold War's machinations. Here, though, it must be said I am oversimplifying matters much like Vox Day, but unlike him I've dug a little deeper than 'Well, they're just savages aren't they?'. I can see why you'd both go for that theory though. It must be like a comfy well-worn pair of slippers than one can step into with no bother.
That the link between a high rate of black crime and black poverty isn't immediate to you I find odd to the point of delusional (Must be those slippers again). Then again, maybe I'm missing something. Perhaps you've both been robbed by Herman Cain, Barrack Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
I'm curious to see what argument you have against this. It's demonstrably true that there are no modern, developed African countries.
DeleteI'm interested - on which chromosome do you believe the ability to build a modern country is carried, and how exactly does it relate to skin color?
Be sure to account for the Japanese in your answer...
+1, as the internet kids say. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteI very much get the impression Vox Day is a white supremacist, but one who --whenever challenged-- ducks behind a very superficial version of history in order to maintain a veneer of respectability.
DeleteThis impression is certainly understandable. But say you were to ask someone, "Are you a white supremacist?" If you are a member of the KKK, then your reflex is to say "Yes, of course." If you are a more typical person you would say, "Of course not!" But if you were to really think about it, the question is nebulous and unclear. What does the statement "Whites are superior" even mean? The answer depends on the metric, of course. And so this is the answer Vox Day has always given (you can see it in his FAQ), and I think this is the proper answer also. We can't answer the question without much clarification about what is being asked. If it means, "Were white physicists, on average, superior to those of any other race in the 19th century?" Then the answer is undoubtedly yes. But if it means, "Will the greatest scientists always be majority white?" Then the answer is probably nobody knows, but most likely not literally always. Do you get what I mean? These kinds of questions are more meaningful than blanket statements about superior and inferior races. That's something that VD never does. There's always a metric involved, and in this case, being "civilized" is the metric - the ability to respect laws, function in a complex society, have longer time preferences, better self-control, valuing education - that's the feel of what being "civilized" means, and as a non-Western person I can certainly identify with these things.
As a non-white person myself, I do sometimes also feel uncomfortable with VD's arguments, or the comments of some of the commenters, as he oftens points out the superiority of Western civilization. But personal discomfort is no good reason to throw away rationality. I think everyone should do the same, too.
The south of Britain, for instance, was already Romanized before the Empire even arrived. And post-Roman Britain was a significantly different kettle of fish to, say, The Holy Roman Empire,and both of those were a world away in outlook and technology from the nomadic eastern tribes riding into Europe. To make almost any overarching statement about the entirety of post-Imperial Europe is a vanity at best and we should be suspicious of anyone who does.
DeleteI agree with you that these views are so far simplistic. But they are blog posts, after all, and we all make generalizations about history at the amateur level all the time. I see this as no more simplistic than casually stating, e.g., that slavery was the cause of the American Civil War. It was certainly much more complicated than just slavery, but I won't go so far as saying that someone who says that is completely wrong. What I find initially appealing about this civilized vs. uncivilized theory (or rather, speculation), is that my impression of Europe up to, say, the 19th century, is that it wasn't a very civilized place - certainly better than the post-Roman Dark Ages, but still full of crime, squalor, poverty, lawlessness, etc. In several respects, 18th century Europe was similar to the state of many developing countries today - including my own native country. It makes sense to me to say that many Third World countries are literally several decades in terms of mentality compared to developed countries - and in the case of some very impoverished African countries - perhaps a century or two.
In this sense, Vox Day's theory of "civilized mentality" vs. "less civilized mentality" about this matter appeal to me. You can see it this way: as an American, you are used to respecting the rule of law - laws actually mean something - but in my home country, they are often viewed only as a means for exploitation. It is simple to observe that my fellow countrymen are not fully civilized yet, at least not as perhaps the Japanese and Americans are. And the reason for that is probably because we have only recently been modernized and liberated from colonial powers - one or two generations is not enough for people to start learning to respect democracy and rule of law.
I've already said that Africa is a continent afflicted by the colonialism of several (ultimately resource-lucky)industrialized cultures and then latterly caught in the crossfire of the Cold War's machinations.
DeleteBut as I said, this doesn't really argue against the thesis. This only helps to explain why Africa is several centuries behind the West, and why its people are less civilized - their culture, due to these factors you're mentioning, have had less contact with civilized norms and need several generations to really catch up.
That the link between a high rate of black crime and black poverty isn't immediate to you I find odd to the point of delusional
Yes, this is one point which makes me not very convinced whenever VD brings up black crime statistics. I would certainly like to see those statistics controlled for poverty. (Do you have a good source?) However, on the other hand I have read that even controlled for poverty, blacks are not as good as say Asians and whites in things like the SAT. This makes me rather biased towards accepting statements such as that the crime rate among blacks is probably worse than other races. But it is true that it is not right for me to have this kind of prejudice before looking at the facts, which is why I don't fully believe in VD's complaints about this matter.
I'm interested - on which chromosome do you believe the ability to build a modern country is carried, and how exactly does it relate to skin color?
DeleteBe sure to account for the Japanese in your answer...
I certainly don't think genetics has anything to do with it, and neither does VD. Culture, however, is a huge factor, and the Japanese, having been exposed to Western technology and modernization since the 19th century, as opposed to the 20th (as is the case with many other developing countries), have had plenty of time to get used to modern civilization.
Just the 19th? I thought this civilizing thing took a thousand years (qv Vox Day's Northern Europe). This theory can be stretched and compressed like jello. And to suit taste. And facts.
Deletephysphilmusic; It's clear your not as mouth-dribblingly dumb as some of the faces here. Perhaps I'm assuming, but from your words it seems clear you're someone who doesn't know any non-white people, most likely as a result of your location. If you knew any-- worked them, drank/bowled with them or whatever there's no way you give any credence to Day's arsewater theories. You just wouldn't. It's hard to picture someone as a 'half-savage' when they've just fixed your PC and shared a packet of jaffa cakes.
I live in the world's most multicultural city. When I read a Vox Day post and then go outside I'm reminded of that Bill Hicks skit where the news tells you 'MURDER, CRIME, RAPE, WAR' and then you step out your door and it's just crickets buzzing.

DeleteJames, if you actually read my series of comments just now, I think it should have been clear that I am not white, and I am not American nor European. In fact, prior to me coming to the US for college, I have barely seen any white people (except in movies, of course) for over a decade. That's why I make reference to my "native country". For secondary school I lived for several years in a boarding school away from my home country, rooming with people from many different cultures and nations from all over Asia. On that basis I think I'm not completely ignorant with regards to being exposed to other cultures.
You might say that I'm just lying - but to me, that would just be another sign that in the face of cognitive dissonance (i.e., why would a non-white person sympathize with any of Vox's posts?), you deny instead of consider the possibility that you might be wrong.
Can't help thinking of the man on the boat who keeps feeding the crocodile in the hope he'll be eaten last.
DeleteCan't see the connection there, James, sorry - I'm not on any boat, there are no crocodiles, as Vox and his Ilk are not even in any sort of powerful position to "eat" people. My interest in Vox's blog is solely for the quality of the ideas - and an idea is right or wrong, regardless of whether believing it leads one to be eaten by crocodiles or not.
DeleteAnd do you seriously think that the alternative (i.e., joining white left-liberals) is any better? Do you honestly think that left-liberals have the best interests of non-Americans at heart?
Well there we have to disagree. But I think the real issue here everyone is oddly and tellingly missing is the fact he apparently screwed a pool table while dressed as a rooster.
DeleteAlso, I have to say that I think its just plain silly and a bit creepy to write a post on the existence on his wife. I havent met the man, but his personality and demeaner are congruent with women like that. Nothing implausible here,
ReplyDelete(psst...) Might wanna read that last paragraph, dude. Kind of the point.
DeleteYou don't think anybody actually got that far, do you? Get real.
DeleteI read the little disclaimer at the end. I just don't buy that the *real* point of the whole post was to show how Vox's statements about Jemesin were spurious by... making a completely unrelated spurious claim about the existence of his wife, which isn't even logically analogous to the claim you're accusing him of making.
DeleteI don't buy it because, while I don't assume that you're an intellectual giant, I also doubt that you're so illogical as to truly think that such a non-sequiter really constitutes a cogent point.
As a half-assed fallback excuse in the case that this post should make you look like a resentful, passive-aggressive putz, on the other hand, it makes some sense.
@james
DeleteOK, I think I get it. But I have to tell you, that whether a man is a jerk or a good guy, Vox has confidence, and confidence is simply a very attractive quality to many women. Think about "con men" or "confidence men". The ability to sell something that is even worthless based on the confidence one shows in selling it. I actually like Vox, so Im not comparing him to the following people, except in terms of confidnece, but think of any dictator or murderer in history, you will always see a high level of seeming confidence. Yet despite the awfulness of the individual, such people had no trouble attracting followers or admirers.
Or to put it simply "chicks dig jerks".
:). And I dont think hes a con man either.

What you really want is to goad Vox Day into revealing enough information about his personal life so as to make it possible to harass not only him but his family. But you had best tread carefully, since he is not only considerably smarter but meaner than you are.
ReplyDeleteIf I can get my hands on one of their henchman's uniforms I've a fair chance of slipping into their evil underwater base.

DeleteIs she fake? Probably. The only photos that do exist of her are professional photos. So again is she probably fake? Yeah.
ReplyDeleteAt this point I wouldn't be surprised if "Spacebunny" is actually some 40 year old dude.

It's a, er... powerful image, I'll grant you.
DeleteYou know, you lot like to keep going on about how irrelevant this blog is, and how this post is nothing more than a cheap shot by a resentful small man at a literary giant, yet you keep posting, and posting, and posting.
ReplyDeleteVox is a twat and a moron. Anyone who sees the world, and the people in it in such simplistic terms has to be a fucking moron, and anyone who can't understand that an even bigger moron - if it was all as simple as Pox thinks it is we'd have civilisation all neatly sewed up and sorted by now, with superior white males running the show to a never ending string of accolades from appreciative women and subserviant darky types.
I should be feeling liberal outrage at these dweebs, but what I mostly feel is disdain at their essential weakness. They stepped about two yards and collapsed into the nearest, most comfortable explanation of the world and never bothered to get up again.
DeleteThe upside to racism is it's a great way of getting a handle on someone. They may as well have a sign on their head saying 'Hello, I am weak and exploitable.'

It was pretty obvious to everyone else, and now, finally him, that he wasn't going to get to be president of SFWA, and that he will never have any real standing or authority in it (perhaps because it's now being run by a bunch of savages and their monkey loving lackeys, or perhaps because he's an unlikeable histrionic git that would fuck it up for everyone else, you decide which explanation you prefer), so he's going to try to get himself kicked out, thereby earning full-on maverick status. I urge anyone reading this not to call for his expulsion from the SFWA. Let him slither off of his own accord, or sit in obscurity.
