Dora the Explorer's "I'm a Sigma" monolog

[AtosW]

For those who don't know, the creators of Dora the Explorer (or well, the current creators/owners of the franchise) uploaded a short explaining, correctly, the meaning of "sigma" in a positive, inspirng and encouraging tone. Something we should of course support - since being one of us is all about being a Sigma!

Dora is of course already a icon for our kind - a little girl who loves exploring, what's not to like there already - and as detestable as that "3D" version of her is, this is all true to her original spirit.

But then the pussies took it down, because of PC SJWs pressuring them! Unacceptable. The original short was RIGHT. As a protest, we should make sure as many kids as possible see this, over and over, to learn all these lines by heart!

I have never heard this word used in this context.
Nor do I understand why this would be controversial.
Am I just behind the times?

Sigma as I understand it is in relation to "alpha" in terms of masculinity. I believe "alpha" in a social context originates from a very popular but since debunked study of wolf hierarchy that describes an alpha as the most dominant member of a pack. Used in terms of masculinity an alpha male is the most dominant of an imagined social hierarchy. Other recognized members of this Hierarchy may include beta men and omega men. Sigma men, by contrast, claims to stand outside of the usual hierarchy, undefined by their relation to others and claiming self determined behaviors and beliefs. It's controversial, I believe, because it threatens the patriarchy and has on many occasions been used as a tool of indoctrination in several different ideologies.

I haven't heard anything about it really beyond this surface take, but I can say that if Dora is a sigma I totally support her in that. You do you baby girl.

That is how I understand it too. I dont really understand why Dora needs to lean into th e whole alpha, beta, sigma male thing to be honest... They are kind of silly terms abused by the alt right.
