Don't forget the Frozen mania circa 2013/14. I would file that under Norse mania as well.

I still remember the first time i watched it was by accident. Went to the wrong cinema room (we were supposed to watch the hobbit) and frozen was playing, little brother betrayed us and had us sit down for it

Varg has a tik tok now, also have u read mishima? It’s always funny to me how pewdiepie recommended the works of the “most right wing” person ever.

I have never read Mishima. I always found the attaq on Pewds for reading Mishima to be bullshit slander, regardless of whether or not Pewdiepie is a crypto-Fascist. Mishima was a widely respected writer even by the normie world during the 20th century, and nobody would have been called racist for liking him. It's like saying liking John Lennon makes you a Communist

I think looksmaxers want the Robust North Atlantid ideal rather than the Nordic one, as apparently, having dark hair, light coloured eyes and tanned, light brown skin is the most atractive coloring for men.

*bp forum sperg out space*

Obviously, the Robust North Atlantid phenotype has Nordic features as in they have pronounced jawlines, projected maxilia and compact (hunter) eyes thanks to more Cromagnid (?) influence and also taller and very slim; however it's more balanced and less angular than those of Nordics.

*bp forum sperg out space*

Anyway Nordics are still top moggers on average, maybe along with Italians even though they're manlets and have canopy-like noses.

The Nordic countries are a cool place, would be cool to visit if one would avoid the cities like the plague. But you forgot quite possibly one of the most famous (or infamous) examples of Nordic Soft power: Paradox Interactive and their Empire of Grand Strategy Games that they release unfinished and release “updates” as “dlc” I still like games like Hearts of Iron IV but their strategy is a devious one, but I guess I can respect the grift.

Are you sure we’ve never had Afro-mania? I’d say 2015-2020 was dominated by it

We did, and it was far more potent than any of these three. But Afrolatry was a domestic phenomenon like Western mania

Appreciate you making an article on the Nordics. I always like hearing about the Nordic countries from an outside perspective.
