Yup. Always saw a G.
How do you see a G?
I do too, but its just backwards
The first time I saw this video I felt so vindicated, no one else I knew so it is a g
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
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
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 was so confused by this as a kid.
We all were
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!
I always thought the first symbol was some backwards cursive G and it's weird.
Gisney, pronounced "jizz knee"
I always thought the D was a G as the kid and kept wondering why the logo said "Gisney" if they were called Disney
I always thought the moon or circle at the start of Spielberg's amblin was an O and confused about how to read it. Oh-amblin? Om-blin?

Honestly, it always was Disneϕ (Disnephi) for me
ðisneΦ
I always thought it's spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.
I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.
Finally someone else 👋
🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol
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 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).
Dammit now I can't unsee this
It took me 24 years to realize it didn't read Gisnep
You're welcome
It took me 10 years to realize that Disnep isnt a property of Disney
Could also be the small Greek letter “Phi” ϕ
Am Greek. Used to think it said Φisneφ.
Disnep Lus
DI$NEP
Disneyp
I always read Disneq and I will never stop saying it like that in my head.
