Please don’t accuse me of making claims I did not. I gave one example of homophobia and the opinion of a respected historian. Not every insult was taken as seriously as ergi. Very few insults were as dire. This is ONE example of Viking homophobia. I don’t give a shit if they were homophobic or not, they’re dead.
“using gay as an insult” is not proof of extreme homophobia. By that logic every teenager on the planet would be extreme homophobic.
In fact, pretty much every descriptive word can be used as an insult. If anything your example proofs, that vikings take insults very serious.
