Behind the alien, on a red alien landscape, a person in a Buck Rogers-like outfit holds a ray gun and looks to the alien.

This is a really interesting article on Vox Day in SwissInfo. In it, you can find a quote or two from this Kommunikationswissenschaftler. swissinfo.ch/eng/information…

Far-right US blogger reaches hundreds of thousands from Switzerland

US author Vox Day was behind the manosphere concept of “sigma males”. We meet him in a quiet village in canton Fribourg.

SF imagines impossible futures, but recent controversies reveal how some fans resist those futures when they drift from their preferred pasts. Nostalgic Futures explores how fan attachments to SF media relate to the logics of violence/exclusion in reactionary movements.
