Theodore Robert Beale (born August 21, 1968), commonly known as Vox Day, is a right-wing American activist and writer.

[8] Beale started in video game development, which led to him writing science fiction and social commentary with a focus on issues of religion, race and gender.

The company was developing two games – Rebel Moon Revolution and Traveler for the Sega Dreamcast – when it closed in 1999 after a legal dispute with its retail publisher GT Interactive.

[12] In 1999, under the name Eternal Warriors, Beale and Lunstad released The War in Heaven, a Biblical video game published by Valusoft and distributed by GT Interactive.

[21] In 2008, Beale published The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens,[9] a book devoted to criticizing the arguments presented in various books by atheist authors Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett, and Michel Onfray.

He is lead editor and has published the work of such writers as John C. Wright, Jerry Pournelle, Tom Kratman, Eric S. Raymond, Martin van Creveld, Rolf Nelson, and William S.

[24][25][26] In 2016, Castalia House works had two wins at the Dragon Awards:[27][28][29] In 2017, Beale launched Infogalactic, an English-language wiki encyclopedia.

[7] In 2013, Beale ran unsuccessfully against Steven Gould to succeed John Scalzi as president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

[36] Two authors, an editor, and a fanzine subsequently withdrew their own nominations; three of these four explicitly cited the wish to dissociate themselves from Beale as being among their reasons for doing so.

[45] Beale stated that his intentions behind the Rabid Puppies campaign were that he "wanted to leave a big smoking hole where the Hugo Awards were" and send "a giant Fuck You—one massive gesture of contempt."

Other Rabid Puppy recommendations that were Hugo Award finalists included Chuck Tingle's short story Space Raptor Butt Invasion and Hao Jingfang's Folding Beijing, which won in the Best Novelette category.

[49] Beale was an early supporter of Gamergate and hosted the GGinParis meetup in July 2015 with Milo Yiannopoulos and Mike Cernovich.

[67] Beale said in a blog post that "women's suffrage has been a complete and unmitigated disaster across the West and it is doubtful that any society can survive it for long.
