Vikings Valhalla - Race and Gender Swap Ignored

Post by wexter » Tue Mar 01, 2022 1:22 am

In a sweeping fit of Gender and Racial revisionist history as political pander; and as an equal opportunity history abuser; Netflix has gone full bore "Peabody's Improbable History" medieval on our ass as follows;

The Netflix show Vikings Valhalla decided that a historic figure that was in real life a Nordic white male needed to be replaced by a "black Viking female" hack-tress. The funny thing is that Wikipedia makes no mention of this obvious, intentional, revisionist, and noticed switcheroo!


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikings:_Valhalla

Every outlet except Wikipedia has acknowledged the obvious;
Jarl Haakon True Story: Was There Really A Black Viking Ruler?

Haakon per Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haakon_Ericsson is rolling in his grave.


I double dog dare someone to edit this Wiki-idiots-page entry to reflect this nonsense. I also demand that all Zulu warriors in future feature films be represented by white Nordic folk.

LOL, I am not alone in this observation (which Wikipedia fails to mention)!

Why is a black woman playing a white man in a show about Viking culture imagine a show about a white woman Zulu warrior this is incredibly offensive and racist of Netflix


Wikipedia - "Barely competent and paranoid. There’s a hell of a combination."

I don't understand how there can be a ruler of Kattegat.
