Part of the reason period pieces suck now. That and the fact that any period piece in Europe has to include a multicultural village and homosexuality running rampant
Making extremes the normal, except for when they leave out the massive amounts of stds like syphilis that lead to massive societal purges of homosexuals and whores.
Yep. Plus I heard the showrunner being interviewed before the show started and he described himself as a feminist and is obsessed with lgbt representation even though it isn’t in the books all that much
All of his research involved exploring other men's fundaments.
But you are right about this. I was reading a book on this kind of topic recently, about homosexuality in the British navy - and its punishment.
The author made some ludicrous claims: that one in four British sailors by 1815 was a coon, and that in the year 1800 Britain was 4% black.
This was a university-published ACADEMIC work.
So I did my own research. Turns out that the British Navy in the Carribean in the year 1815 had many black sailors but the Admiralty officially limited their numbers to no more than 4% of a crew (fear of mutiny).
Number of coons in Britian in 1800? A trivial number. Not countable. Elizabeth 1 kicked out all of the coons in the 1590s.
This is why I suggest that anyone interested in history look for books pre-2012 and preferable pre-2000. History as it is being written now is through the lens of political correctness.

Vancouver Public Library had a section on display of gay characters of history (ie. Greek poems written to young boys, warriors, etc) fact of the matter is none of it was able to be confirmed or denied it was all interpretation. Phoebe could raise the rock over his or her head however seeing the rock was 300 pounds I will make the sexist assumption that it was a man...History will be rewritten by a diverse population eunuchs cucked rape victims in a wheel chair? Like the only reason this has gone on as far as it has is that someone is playing the victim card on getting their g card pulled. Any white identity is now Nazi and, any lip wristed cripple is now brave. Bring on a meteor please I pray to the most high...
Great game, I keep going back to it. Honestly without all the woke nonsense going around, if it HAD a random Black character, I wouldn't have thought much about it. I'm no historian so what do I know is accurate? And it's "only a game".
But that fact that they keep doing it on purpose makes me resent any such changes now. (and specifically look for non-woke media)
Exactly. And I know there were some Africans in Europe but mostly in Southern Europe. Kingdom Come made a point to be as historic as possible and the fact the stood by their guns and didn’t change due to criticism made me support them.
There's an entire continent with a large diversity of various black peoples. Yet, the progressives never attempt to do anything with it, unless, ironically, it involves whites.
Exactly. I’ve said before they should do a show about Mansa Musa but since his empire was gone before Europeans arrived they can’t blame white ppl. If they were really brave I think a miniseries about the wealthiest black slave owner in America would be fascinating. Can’t remember his name though.
You make a good point. I like period pieces because I am interested in that history. So if there is a show about Medieval England I want to see medieval England, not some woke garbage. Same with any other continent
I don’t either. That would be a very interesting show. Guess they are too busy race swapping European history while accepting awards for being “stunning and brave”
Also if you did period pieces from other parts of the world they would have to show that slavery/land conquest/tribal warfare is as old as time across the world
There's a story how he gifted a beautiful slave girl to a delegation from some barbaric gold mining kingdom and, cultural shock, they just killed and ate her.
Yes and I'd totally play a Kingdom Come-style game set in AFRICA or CHINA. I'm sure that would contain some very interesting history. And it wouldn't need any White people at all.
I loved Dynasty Warriors and in either the second or third game they had an encyclopedia with info about the actual history of the ancient Chinese kingdoms
I love that twitter discussion that went around between one of the devs and an SJW. It's not like these devs are white nationalists or hate black people, they were just trying to make a historical game and didn't care about American zog bullshit.
The sjw was crying about "representation" and the dev asked "How is it my responsibility to represent them? There's an entire continent of them, are they not capable of representing themselves?"
The sjw tried to report him to his boss saying "Um, one of your team members is implying that black people are incompetent and can't create media for themselves, are you gonna stand for this?" (which of course he never did, he was asking if that's what she thought of them), and it turns out he was the boss, she reported him to himself.
It sounds ridiculous now, but back in the day the discussion around the Witcher 3 is really what got me into researching.... the situation we find ourselves in. I mean I was always generally anti-pc, but not seriously, just in that kid-who-likes-South-Park way.
I was having a conversation about the lack of black characters, and they were so passionate about it, and their argument was so illogical, and I knew that they wouldn't ever make it if the game was set anywhere other than a white setting, that it legitimately made me do some soul searching and realize, maybe things are actually way worse than I thought.
I liked Robert Egger's other movies, The Witch and The Lighthouse. Fair warning though, they can get surreal and ambiguous, which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea. (The Lighthouse moreso)
So I was a professional archaeologist many years ago and post Roman Britain is my area of expertise.
What the media has done with Vikings hurts me to my soul. First few seasons of Vikings captured the feel well enough but they fell down the "shield maiden" myth pretty hard to the point I couldnt tolerate the show.
Dont even get me started on Assassins Creed Valhalla...
So when I saw the trailer for Northmen on youtube I thought "Oh another garbage Vikings movies/series" but then I watched it... and now I'm excited. This is easily the best looking historical rendition of the period I've seen in a long time. And if the directors other works are anything to go by then I'm all In.
I've not seen the latest season, and I've not read the books, but yes I have and I'd say it's very good. It gets the gist of the period quite well and is fairly accurate. Only area I'd say it lacks in is props, some of the battle sequences/ tactics/ gear could have been better.
The biggest flaw is its portrayal of the native brita, welsh and scots. They are portrayed as barely Christian, almost pagan heathens living in huts where as reality they had been orthodox Christian's for nearly 700 years and styled themselves as the British successors to Rome. But honestly I like it and would recommend it, despite this
Thanks for the recommendation. I read the first book in that series a long time ago and was aware of the show, but never looked in to it because I assumed it would be garbage, being made within the last ten years and all.
I'm definitely gonna have to keep this one on my radar then. Loved The Lighthouse, if this can manage to keep the zog at bay it'll be the first worthwhile portrayal of the vikings in over a decade.
Oh my goodness, it uses a hate-symbol as an O? That would be like using a swastika as an X, smh how could the producers over look this-, oh, that symbol literally is an O in our ancient writing system? Huh. You'd think a medievalist would know that.
It’s hilarious, these are the”historians” that claim random historical figures are gay with no evidence. They’re basically Ancient Aliens for gays.

You've seen 'Wheel of Time' Then.
I’ve read the books but had no interest in watching the show.
Two rivers (is that what the first town is called?) is as diverse as inner city London.

Like, Rome wasn't realz guyz. It was an invention of the cis hetero normative patriarchy and duh catholic church!

Keep talking. If people like that hate it I’ll be more than willing to buy a ticket. Same reason I bought the video game Kingdom Come

There is lots of genuine black history they can do. It just isn't very flattering to coons.
Smith's black.
Thanks. I honestly like the honest opinions here. Good or bad. At least I know where people stand.
I don’t either. That would be a very interesting show. Guess they are too busy race swapping European history while accepting awards for being “stunning and brave”
Also if you did period pieces from other parts of the world they would have to show that slavery/land conquest/tribal warfare is as old as time across the world
That's a good point. Mansa Musa wasn't very allergic to slavery.
There's a story how he gifted a beautiful slave girl to a delegation from some barbaric gold mining kingdom and, cultural shock, they just killed and ate her.
Nope. Pretty common for any empire I’d imagine
As far as I understand it, apart from this brief experiment we're all living through, slavery has been the rule, not the exception.
Pretty funny, when you think about it. Us Brits turned William the Conqueror's new-kingdom cash-grab into a moral crusade...
And when resident evil went there it was racism to shoot the Africans.
Because it never left the iron age and would be boring. How long can you chuck spears in a skirt made of grass before you get bored?
Yes and I'd totally play a Kingdom Come-style game set in AFRICA or CHINA. I'm sure that would contain some very interesting history. And it wouldn't need any White people at all.
I loved Dynasty Warriors and in either the second or third game they had an encyclopedia with info about the actual history of the ancient Chinese kingdoms
I like those civilization games. I may get Civ 5 or wait for the newer one

Good. I want more masculine white positive iconography in society.
When asked for comment, the Vikings had this to say in response.
I'm old enough to remember when guys made fun of someone for not being manly enough.
This guy is like a dwarf asking someone 6'4" how the weather is. You don't even have to respond; just laugh
yawn - I can't even bother to expend the energy necessary to make sense of his ranting... It's like a foreign language of the absurd
The only healthy response to be honest.
