>>15993120i guess the truth is usually somewhere in the middle as usual
i dislike the liberal depiction of shieldmaidens because it takes away alot of what makes them interesting as characters in the sagas, like brunhilde. she was a strong and violent women because she was on a quest to avenge the betrayal of her husband in the bloodiest possible way, not because she was le stronk woman. loyalty, honor and avenging the fallen are what the germanics valued, not base savagery and modern nations of feminism
