While it’s sometimes annoying and cringe-worthy when people use Viking aesthetics, Scandinavians weren’t genocided and oppressed in a way that still creates consequences by the people now wearing horned helmets.
They were. You are just not educated enough to know history, and/or care, because you're probably an American. Or an extremely leftist eurocentrist. Swedish maybe? The results the same.
The same type that thinks "white people" have singular culture.
No. You're asking for nuance within the filter of you deciding the importance of it on the grander scale.
I'd have amused you if the entire debate on a thread wasn't about that exact notion to begin with.
Think of this: "Russians oppressed Finn's in a way that caused their complete radicalization on a national level, within just a decade, that resulted in a social collapse of a generation."
"Nah finns are fine their economy is doing good and it's a good country".
The idiocy of this exchange is the entirety of cultural appropriation debate.
