What Does Mickey Mouse Have In Common With Arkhaven Comics’ Hypergamouse And Vox Day?

Except for Mickey Mouse being a comic character, Hypergamouse being a comic strip at Arkhaven Comics, and Vox Day being the creator of the Alt★Hero comics universe and editor at Arkhaven Comics – nothing.

But now that I’ve got your attention: Publisher, science fiction writer, comic book creator philosopher, musician, and video game designer Vox Day announced recently that the crowdfunding for his much-anticipated book on the Socio-Sexual Hierarchy and the Hypergamous book, presumably not the comic strip Hypergamouse (which has nothing to do with Mickey Mouse save for being a comic) but rather a book on female hypergamy, could take place as early as March this year.

Being an astute observer of human interaction and articulate communicator, Vox Day created a comprehensive Male Socio-Sexual Hierarchy structure back in March 2011, which went way beyond the simplified Alpha/Beta division in the socio-sexual hierarchy. In his own words: “When we examine any conventional human social circle, we reliably observe a broader range of distinctly identifiable social archetypes that go well beyond mere sexual activity. And it is based on these observations that I have expanded the Alpha-Beta division into a hierarchy that covers the broad spectrum of socio-sexuality.” (Which does make one wonder where Vox Day would rank Mickey Mouse on the socio-sexual hierarchy.)

Adding to the Alpha and Beta distinction in the socio-sexual hierarchy, Vox Day coined the categories Delta, Gamma, Sigma, Omega, and Lambda; defined them; and ranked them. Vox Day has also pointed out that a man’s standing in the social-sexual hierarchy has implications far beyond game and male/female interaction.

Now, more than a decade later his neologisms in the socio-sexual hierarchy have seeped into common usage, almost always without proper accreditation to award-winning cruelty artist Vox Day. Even worse, the usage of these terms is more often than not completely misunderstood by those using it. This, and the scope of application of the socio-sexual hierarchy beyond the application of game is why Vox Day’s upcoming book is not only highly anticipated, but absolutely crucial.

So what does Hypergamous, the comic strip at Arkhaven, created by Lacey Fairchild, have to do with Vox Day’s upcoming books on the Socio Sexual Hierarchy and hypergamy? Everything. Move over Mickey Mouse, the highly entertaining and popular comic strip Hypergamouse (it has over 1 million views on Arkhaven already) is brilliantly sharp, cutting, and funny commentary on socio-sexual interactions.
