I was trying to be silly. Did not mean to offend anyone. I was diagnosed with Dyslexia as a kid. I always felt it looked like a backwards G, but never mistook it as such.
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.
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 still call it Disnep, despite knowing better. I believe if you make crappy design choices you should live with the consequences and everybody should call it Disnep!
Gisnep
Yup. Always saw a G.
How do you see a G?
I do too, but its just backwards
Backward Gisnep
The first time I saw this video I felt so vindicated, no one else I knew so it is a g

Even as an adult I see a G
I'm guessing dyslexia.
I don't have dyslexia and I always saw a G growing up... It's a lot closer to a backwards G than it is to a D

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.
Try being a Scottish kid, where Disney means "doesn't"
We all were

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?

Young me: Gisnex
After engineering me: Disne-phi
I Always thought Perkins was Jerkins

🤣🤣 omg me too! I used to think the p was silent. Lol
I always thought it's spelled Disnep and pronounced Disney.
I mean English is not my native and you guys have crazier spellings.
I always see Di5nep
Dipnep))))
Finally someone else 👋
6isnep
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.
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
Disnep Lus

I internally go "Disnep" every time I see this to this very day!
Disneyp
I always read Disneq and I will never stop saying it like that in my head.

How is this being down voted by anyone?
Some people have no sense of humor.
Also this is hilarious
I always thought that D was weird. I see it as that thing in music sheets.
I prefer paranoia.com
