Vox Day may be a familiar name to folks who were paying attention to the SF / fantasy world tenish years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Day

Between Gab and Vox Day, is no one else writing about this guy except the extreme right? Is there not a better source available?
I've been wondering about that as well. It appears he & Vox Day were friends/collaborators and may have shared some political views: https://postcardsfromtheageofreason.com/2026/03/01/bpr1/

He may have been a bit of a Milkshake Duck
How many sources for the man's death would there be? It seems his only notability is writing a piece of software that let's be frank not even most Linux users have heard of and fronting a band that from what I can tell primarily appeals to incels and neo-nazis and only seems to have 16 listeners on Spotify.

People like this only get "better sources" when they go on a shooting spree.
