We haven’t seen these “journalists” and studios mock Mohammad yet?

Does “mythology belong to all” or not?

"We can steal your culture because we were oppressed and it was forced on us, and now you want to take it away" This will be their average retarded response.

These people would be shitting blood with fury if the devs ever depicted an African mythology deity as white or Asian.

As they should. If they came out with a game about the Trimurti and one of them was a white guy with an American accent I'd be insulted, and I'm not Indian. I don't want other cultures corrupted to be more appealing to me. It suggests that I either do or should only care about things that look like me, which is a super shitty way to live.

I mean I'd argue black vikings make way more sense than what is historically accurate. When you think of a small percentage of people raping, looting, and burning down buildings while also being seen as "cool" in culture, your first thought isn't white people.

It's not mythology, you pathological faggot. Fucking useful idiots think white culture being erased is cute.

Especially since you know this faggot would be reeing like a jet engine in afterburn, if it was the other way around. They already freaked out when the actress for the live action Lilo and Stitch remake was the tiniest bit too pale.

The response is usually “well his character is based on his race”. At least I was told that when I tried to explain the annoyance with little mermaid race swap. It didn’t matter when I said the original story described her as very pale. Or the Anne Boyelin show. The showrunner said something about different perspectives or some nonsense like that

They race swapped Heimdallr in Marvel as a deliberate racial attack. He is literally described as the whitest Aesir, so of course they make him a black man. It's everywhere man and it is all done maliciously and with intent.

No arguments from me. Most of the Thor I read in the comics as a kid was from the Avengers so I didn’t get into the Asgard part until I was older. I used to believe that race swaps weren’t a big deal since they were sporadic years ago but I finally opened my eyes after Annie came out. That was followed with so many to the point where I won’t even watch something if it’s race or gender swapped, or if it sounds interesting I just buy the book. Denzel is one of my all time favorite actors and even though I no longer have Netflix I’m not going to even pirate his Hannibal movie

And then I remember hearing people talking about how great Idris Elba did in the role ... and I was like, "did I miss something? He didn't do anything." There was certainly nothing particularly noteworthy in his performance.

But as a psyop, that makes perfect sense. "The whitest guy is actually black, and he was amazing! And if you disagree, you're probably a racist."

Even if it’s not?! I doubt they are being harassed or I’m sure that the “harassment” is someone calling out the absurdity of black Vikings. So are they historically accurate or not. It does break immersion. If I’m playing dynasty warriors and everyone is black or white that would look odd. Black gamers have been known to talk serious trash.

She's not black in a fucking game, she's black in a regular video game. There won't be any fucking in that game, or it'll get rated X.

Y'see, I know what you were saying. But if you're going to get technical and assinine, I can too. What you meant is that it's a cop out so that you can do what you want, despite it not being historically accurate, or what happened at all.

You could have just said it was fiction. You could have just said you weren't going for historical accuracy. You could have said you just wanted a black person in your game.

But no, you were combative and had to broadly paint gamers as horrible people.

I wasn't interested in the game before, but now I'm gonna follow your career and never buy a single game your name is attached to.

harassing Black people, predictably mostly black women

Wow, what a sexist fucking piece of shit, right?

Also, I like how it's the whitest...person(?) ever, with blue hair, coming to the defense of the largely imaginary harassed blacks. Truly a hero.

And, no to all three points: Vikings weren't black, mythology doesn't "belong to all humans," and if it's historically accurate that means it's accurate. It's like whining about "weaponized facts." You can weaponize anything, sure, but complaining about weaponized truths is a pretty silly stance.

Show us. Show us where it is historically accurate. Where is it? Oh? It doesn’t exist. If there were any “black Vikings” it was very very rare and never documented in historical text. Because the black people they're thinking of hardly traveled across continents. Only the wealthy ever did. And even if the wealthy Africans did travel north, then you best believe Vikings would take over their ships and dominate the fuck out of them.

Blacks have accomplished plenty through history, especially given shit geography, ultra-dangerous fauna, and malaria.

American black racial activists are simply psychotic racist vandals. These people don't know African history, and aren't interested in learning it, so they'll just steal other people's shit and score 3 simultaneous points: race grifting, polarization, & demoralization.

That is an excellent joke. As for you, you're clearly an outlier and a welcome one.

However, an outlier doesn't preclude against a general rule, and vice versa. One can admit the truth of the overall behavior and predispositions of your race, and still accept that it doesn't apply in every case.

Which is my particular position on the matter. On the whole I view blacks as a plague on civilization because well, they are.

Kaarous: I don't think that blacks are a plague on civilization. They could easily be brought into the fold, as they were in pre-WWII USA. They developed a fantastic culture (blues, jazz, gospel etc) and were generally well-behaved.

The real problem is the jews convincing everybody that blacks can do math and sheeet. Get rid of the jews, and then the blacks will fall in line.

My neighbors friend was telling me about how inclusive the Vikings were and I didn’t give much of a rebuttal besides where did she get that from. I honestly never heard anyone make the argument of black Vikings until these tv shows pushed the idea. So they had slaves or they were mistaken for Vikings? This is just so idiotic and I’m tired of these very people acting outraged when there is pushback. Heck, I’m only a tiny bit Scandinavian and I’m mad

My favorite story of the Vikings explains just how inclusive they were when they discovered North America.

The Vikings actually recorded first contact with North American tribes in Newfoundland. Apparently, the Viking explorers were out in a party of 3 away from their landing site, and approached some natives near a tree line, who then came out to greet them. The description goes onto explain what the natives looked like. But then suddenly mentioned the color of their blood, and that the natives seemed excitable after the Vikings discovered this fact.

These motherfuckers stabbed a dude to see what color his blood was on first contact.

This is one of the reasons why the Vikings were eventually forced from Newfoundland. Despite their military prowess, the natives seemed to immediately decide that irregular warfare against the Vikings was the only correct result, and they would perpetually harass and attempt to murder the Vikings (with arrows from a safe distance). They were unable to conduct any amount of trade with any of the locals, and couldn't regularly return with supplies from Scandinavia.

The Vikings are the pinnacle example of shitty first contact outside of "Star Trek: Enterprise"
