Mixing Christianic name with Norse mythology is even more bad taste. Even contrary any attempts to assimilate and make similarities in Norse mythology does not know the practice how Christianity was established in Nordic regions. Those things really should not be mixed. It really shows how illiterate and uneducated game creators are often.

Yes, because their modus operandi is simple:

step 1: Lets make a game with a mixed couple and their quirky dinamics with a strong focus on feminism. The white guy will be the underdog and can't stand in the way of her full and complete freedom.

step 3953: oh, and let's make it some norse thing, that's still kinda fresh and underused.
