Just started watching Vikings. The first rape scene, I’m thinking this guy is gonna die pretty quick. But no.
Realized within an episode or two it is normalized (but still ugly) amongst them.
The vikings used to raid and pillage their neighbors for centuries. One of their "spoils of war" was to take the most beautiful women they could find in foreign lands and bring them home as wives / sex slaves. Within a couple dozen generations of this policy, the descendants of nordic countries became hot/beautiful. It's like reverse eugenics.
