@riksnapper@WeThrones@tartingles69 I think this is quite a significant change compared to pre-Christian societies, where the only requirement for marrying a woman was her father's consent. Even in societies where its wasn't despised and was even considered positive (such as the Norse), it wasn't mandatory.
@WeThrones@tartingles69 Also, commoner women had more freedom when choosing their husbands, as Christianity introduced female consent for marriage and also that both parties should marry on equal terms.
On the other hand, child marriages were more common among the upper classes, especially royalty.
@JGacha793704@JCharrasqueado_ Los vikingos esclavizaron a más gente europea, ya sea por territorios conquistados y saqueos o por la compra y venta.
Por otro lado, los Jǫtnar ("gigantes") nunca son descritos como azules, ni tampoco todos ellos como gigantes. Esta fue una idea de Marvel.

@Jay_Platypus@TinyFaceTimmy@naiokenx10 Although, considering what Norse society was like (and if you don't believe me, you can read the following academic studies about their societies), that should give you some idea.
@vctgender Loki only had sex with a ‘man’ (the horse Svaðilfari) on one occasion, and that was after being threatened with death by the gods to solve a problem he had created, and then being pursued by Svaðilfari. There is nothing to suggest that it was a consensual decision.
@vctgender appears as a man by default, was considered one in his society, and all his consensual partners were women. What we see, however, is that he used shape-shifting to his advantage for specific reasons, and that the intentions behind this were to demonstrate his evil nature.
@vctgender have done; but transferring intentions from one side to the other is something that should be done with care and knowledge of what one is dealing with.
For example, although Marvel's Loki is gender fluid and bisexual, this cannot be transferred to Norse mythology, where he always
@Jay_Platypus@TinyFaceTimmy@naiokenx10 I highly recommend reading the following article, which explains this topic about Loki in more detail: https://t.co/lmP31thntC
@Jay_Platypus@TinyFaceTimmy@naiokenx10 Is your argument really based on a derivative study that openly seeks a specific result based on a modern perspective? I suppose you've never read the Eddas, have you?
As this is a bit long, I'll respond with a screenshot.
@Sabliano@Kiri_kiki_riri evil, and punishable.
It must be said that Loki uses shape-shifting as a means to an end, usually an evil one. He always appears as a man by default and fulfills the roles of one; he simply wasn't the ideal to follow for what an honorable man should be.
@Sabliano@Kiri_kiki_riri The thing is, it's not gender fluid in mythology, because the Norse didn't have such a concept nor an acceptance of different genders and sexualities.
Their social norms were heavily based on a binary system of gender roles, and anything that broke them was seen as reprehensible,
