The issue is that the Venn diagram of people interested in vikings/odinism and racists bigots is almost just a circle
This is hyperbole. A large amount of racists and bigots are into norse stuff? Maybe. Almost all people in the norse stuff are racists and bigots? High doubt, and shouldn't be allowed to be coopted anyway. Loki is one of the few ancient figures with some gender fluid markings as it is.
You're right, but 100% of the people I've encountered that were REALLY into Norse stuff specifically, rather than a general interest in history, were white supremacist.
I'm interested in Norse mythology for stories like the time Thor had to wear a dress to get back his hammer. I bet he looked hot in that dress.
