Yeah, as above anon said, this is a pretty silly argument. The world doesn't take place irl obviously, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to represent in a Scandinavian folklore world. I mean, they clearly state these are Vikings, they did not merely call them "Warriors" or something. Would it be acceptable if I made a kids' movie about Native Americans who called themselves Indians, and who all wore war bonnets regardless of gender or tribe? But it would be acceptable if I added a few mythological creatures or something? Obviously there aren't really any "real" Vikings out there to be offended, but the point is, having magic/dragons/whatever doesn't automatically mean historical inspiration is useless.

I mean, I don't think the movie IS pretending to be historically accurate, and that's totally fine. It's fiction, it's a kids movie, no one really cares about horns. But Vikings didn't wear horns and the characters call themselves Vikings. It's a persistent myth that's long since been debunked, and cutting horns would've not really impacted the film at all except creating slightly less inaccuracy for those kids who might take real interest in Vikings after seeing the movie.
