Y’all minding p’s and q’s while I was turning d’s to g’s.
And for the love of all that is sacred, that first letter is not a D. And I don’t know what they smoked when creating it.
I think it was Walt Disney’s handwriting.
Yeah it’s literally his autograph done with an ink brush

How do you see a G?
Even as an adult I see a G
I’m guessing dyslexia.
Gyslexia
Downvoted but reversals and dyslexia used to be thought of as linked for a long time. These days, not so much, it’s just because they’re shit at writing (dysgraphia) and processing. They don’t even see the letters backwards.

Anecdotally, and perhaps ironically, they were right, I am dyslexic, and I definitely do perceive letters as permuted quite often. The second link really chuffs me because it’s clearly a non-dyslexic person openly speculating as if they’re authoritative, but this theory of “3d processing” words jives with neither other literature about dyslexia, nor my own experience. I’m pretty sure this is just someone showerthinking about a disorder. The errors I make are pretty incompatible with seeing whole words from the wrong “angle”; letters are switched, sometimes even between adjacent words (I might see “angle” as “angel”, or “and rain” as “an drain”), similar graphs are misread as each other (the classic example is [b / d / p / q], sometimes also g depending on font; [w / m / E], [e / a], [T / L], so on), words can be entirely displaced elsewhere in a sentence…
So yes, like, I definitely do see some letters backwards or upside down or mirrored, etc.
Mostly, I was trying to be funny. It did occur to me as a possibility, but I didn’t comment it in a serious way. I was diagnosed with dyslexia as a kid, but don’t seem to have that problem anymore. Either way, I have no idea where the original or any interpretation of it comes from.
People did not like it, though.
It’s fiiine, I thought it was funny and also possibly true
I do too, but its just backwards
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The first time I saw this video I felt so vindicated, no one else I knew so it is a g
Yup. Always saw a G.
I was so confused by this as a kid.
Thanks for the shot of “where did your youth go, old man”.
When I grew up it was borrowed VHS tapes of Disne(y/p). I was born with Disney on tape. I didn’t see Disnep+ until I was already a man; by then, it was nothing to me but blinding!
Okay but the person you’re replying to is probably talking about being confused by Gisnep, which has been around a lot longer than Gisnep+
Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means “doesn’t”
We all were
Finally someone else 👋
After engineering me: Disne-phi
I internally go “Disnep” every time I see this to this very day!
Could also be the small Greek letter “Phi” ϕ
Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.
It’s still Gisnep to me
I never questioned the y but always read it as a G
I always read it as an Ð, which is am Icelandic letter. It kinda sounds like the “th” in “the”, so I read it as “Thisney”
I still call it Disnep out of spite, if you can’t choose the right font you don’t deserve to be called ‘right’.
It wasn’t a specific font at the time, it’s an artistic rendering of Walt Disney’s autograph (which is actually easier to read than the original).

Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me
