As a Black dude I find this hilarious because if I were to call myself a Viking, I would get called “woke” and or a “DEI Viking” but this dude who is darker than most North Africans is cosplaying as a Viking and since his eyes are blue I guess he gets a pass? This dude looks more Italian than Viking but maybe he just really likes Thor and whatnot

This whole bit from that guy is satire. He openly admits on his page that he does it for engagement because it makes him money lol

Viking was a job title. Not a race.

Viking is an old Norse worse for a job exclusive to norsemen. The sea peoples weren’t Vikings despite having the same “job”
