The wickedness here is comparing words with murder. A significant number of people thing a slur is worthy of life ruination or death.

Skírnismál is an Old Norse poem in the Poetic Edda, the collection of poems originally in Old Norse that contain the traditional myths and beliefs of the historical pre-Christian Norse people. In the 13th-century Icelandic manuscript Codex Regius, the poem is called Fǫr Skírnis (Skírnir's Journey).
The written poem is a preservation of a traditional Norse (and by extension Germanic) myth about the Vanir god Freyr, the son of the god Njǫrðr, where He climbs up Hliðskjálf, the cosmic throne of the god Óðinn - the highest god and king of the Norse, and by extension Germanic pantheon - and with its ability to provide its user omniscience sends Skírnir to convince the jǫtunn Gerðr ("Enclosure") to marry Him.
Skírnismál is noteworthy because it contains valuable wisdom in stanza 13 that not only provides insight into the traditional pre-Christian Germanic mindscape but it is also applicable in certain contexts today:
This stanza communicates the idea that it is better to take action and strive towards a given goal in life with full dedication as opposed to feeling sorry for yourself over a current circumstance. Being courageous in life or the pursuit of a goal or achievement is better than feeling nihilistic and that it is unachievable, for, as the poem makes clear, that opportunity could vanish. In the context of Skírnismál, it would be life ending.
On a personal note, I have always found this wisdom in Skírnismál to correspond with my view as a dedicated, devout worshipper and priest of Wōden. It is consistent with wisdom read in Vǫlsunga Saga, chapter 7, and Hávamál verse 76.
Historically, the pre-Christian Norse people understood that those who die in battle go to Valhǫll (Wælheall in Old English to the Pagan Anglo-Saxons and Valhalla to the continental Germans), which not only takes courage, but also the ability to fully commit to fighting and dying in that moment.
This wisdom can be helpful today in a range of contexts depending on one's personal pursuits. Skírnismál does not suggest nihilism or defeatism. It suggests acknowledging that we all die and could die at any moment and that your response in proportion to this fact should be courageous and without fear. Regardless, those pursuits (should they align with virtue and morally righteous outcomes) should be pursued with full courage and commitment.

than to wail and weep
when one is eager to take action;
for in a single day
my life was shaped for me,
and all my life faded."

As a Christian, I want these myths preserved because they have what Lewis called "lesser lights" which point to the greatest light, Who is Christ.
But don't be a pagan.

I just ordered a bunch of books from Antelope Hill and Sacra Press (trying to become even more of an extremist in my time away from Twitter), so I assume I'm now on some sort of FBI list.
