Most Americans don't have anything against the Russians yet they seem to be the default bad guys in a lot of our fictional entertainment.
And you need to do some reading up on Canadian history. French Canada doesn't like the rest of Canada and vise versa. But the animosity extends in part to the European counterparts.
You seem to think I think the Ubisoft employees are seething with hatred for the English. I don't. I'm just saying that given their cultural baggage (as a group) this is likely to a blind spot where they're less likely to notice.
> French Canada doesn't like the rest of Canada and vise versa.
Please stop these generalizations that are borderline racist. I personally have nothing against the English, for example. If you hate us so much, that's on you.
Go watch, say, The Last Kingdom on Netflix. It wasn't made by Ubisoft or French Canadians. And yet the depiction of English vs Danes is pretty much the same: the cowardly christians with their silly religion. That's the POV of one character. It is flawed as well. But it has nothing to do with French Canadians, come on.

I'm sorry but you seem to be showing your own "cultural baggage" here and projecting it onto others.
I live in Quebec and spent most of my high school learning about Quebec (and Canada's) history. Guess what, we actually had a vote on whether we wanted to stay in Canada twice and decided than we'd rather stay with the federation. Do people in Quebec have various opinions on Canada? For sure. Does it extend to the US, UK and the rest of Europe? Absolutely not.
And since this is about Valhalla, why on earth would people in Quebec have some biases for Vikings? Quit spewing nonsense on the Internet.
