>>95235717There is no fucking hierarchy in which Vikings bullied each others for not raiding. Raiding was a fucking necessary evil to survive in the Scandinavian north where the winters were too harsh and long to have proper agriculture and taking the gold of others in order to afford food was how you survived.
In the other half of the year they farmed and traded. In fact, the Vikings had a larger role as traders as they did raiders and invaders until the successful invasion of England in 865.
This horrible abortion of a cartoon show is not only a misrepresentation of a very interesting historical period, it's downright revisionism.
This is the exact same as making a show full of black guys with wooden dishes in their lips riding rainbow tigers and calling it "Nubian Tales", and making one of the characters a white woman. People would scream cultural appropriation until their faces went blue, and the point is that this is genuinely the same fucking thing in reverse. Pure inexcusable cultural appropriation, but in the never-ending cosmic hypocrisy of these fucking rejects it apparently can't be, because Vikings were white (some of them, apparently.)
So call them anything else. Call it Fagbarians, Gay Brawlers, Leatherbears, whatever would be more suited, but what the fuck is the point of basing your horrible new SJW cartoon on a historical period and people if you're going to purposely misrepresent every single fucking thing about both AND come up with a tedious background that presents the average 8th century norseman as evil? What is the god damn point, other than attempting to revise and erase history and make Vikings look like a bunch of giant pizza-nippled homosexuals riding the obligatory generic tumblr rainbow unicorns?
And you know what, yes. I am genuinely mad. It's such a provocative and pretentious display of hypocrisy and the "it's okay when we do it" mentality that infests the major studios and networks that it might make a sane person vomit.
